Participants will learn how to implement EMDR R-TEP safely and effectively within a variety of clinical contexts. This training is rooted in the theoretical basis of Early EMDR Intervention (EEI), and provides instruction on how to create containment and safety, as well as how to implement all eight phases of the EMDR R-TEP. It will teach participants how to navigate safety issues and help clients consolidate or integrate trauma memories using a brief intervention, possibly on successive days. The protocol will be taught using video case illustrations and practical applications.

Participants will learn a simplified EMDR protocol that can be used in group situations to help people cope with recent, ongoing, or past distressing events by reducing distress and promoting emotional regulation. The workshop presents a practical application of the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (EMDR G-TEP). It will be taught using video illustrations and practice. G-TEP has been shown to have beneficial results in controlled studies.

Participants will learn how to use a computerized adaptation of the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) that was developed at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the inability to meet in person. This program offers applications in-person or virtually and provides multiple levels of screening for client safety.
