About this Course:

Please note this is a Live, Virtual R-TEP/G-TEP training. It will not be available for delayed viewing.

We are excited to add the new G-REP (Group Resource Enhancement Protocol) to the full suite of early interventions shared during this two day training! We will cover:

Four Elements Resource Technique
Group Resource Enhancement Protocol
Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol
Group Traumatic Episode Protocol

These four protocols and techniques blend seamlessly to meet a range of needs including assessment, stabilization, individual reprocessing, and group reprocessing. No matter what your circumstances are for delivery of therapy, you'll learn where to start and how to progress through multiple treatment options.

The two-day, comprehensive training leads you step by step through research validated protocols for working with survivors of recent trauma both individually and in groups. While EMDR Basic Training provides an overview of one of the recent events protocols, we will shed light on broader applications of how and when to use EMDR and EMDR-derived techniques for early trauma intervention.

Participants Will be Able to:

Identify when Early EMDR Intervention is appropriate.
Compare the EMDR standard protocol and EMDR R-TEP protocol.
Demonstrate Early EMDR clinical skills with additional measures for containment and safety.
Describe EMD, EMDr, EMDR and how each is applied.

The EMDR R-TEP protocol is applied when a recent event has occurred that requires containment and additional assistance with integration beyond the standard protocol. It is a comprehensive approach to treating recent events in the belief that serious trauma symptoms may be prevented by receiving early interventions. The protocol contains built in checks to address stuck points quickly while recognizing the importance of meeting the clients where they are and taking it step by step. It is a comprehensive approach to treating recent events in the belief that serious trauma symptoms are prevented by receiving early interventions. The EMDR G-TEP protocol is a group application useful for small groups including couples, families, and those impacted by the same traumatic event, such as a natural disaster or act of violence.
