What is the G-TEP? (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol) :

The EMDR G-TEP protocol is a group application useful for groups including couples, families, and those impacted by a traumatic event. Presenting issues can range from public events such as natural disasters or act of violence in a community, to personal and familial events such as traumatic bereavement, divorce, diagnosis, etc. G-TEP can be used in a variety of settings: the office, the field, or institutions such as hospitals, IOP, and/or Behavioral Health. Many therapists who learn G-TEP actually use the protocol with individual clients, because of the safety and containment it provides.

One-Day Format:

Over the years, we have had many requests from clinicians wanting to take either the R-TEP or the G-TEP as a standalone course. We still believe the trainings are most powerful when taken together, but we are excited to now provide the option of taking the Recent Traumatic Events or the Group Traumatic Events Protocol Trainings as solo trainings for those who prefer to do so. Please check our 2024 EMDR Early Intervention training calendar to view all upcoming training options (R-TEP/G-TEP, R-TEP only, or G-TEP only)
