GTEP workshop teaches how to use EMDR in group settings, not only for recent events but also for any ongoing issue with consequences. G-TEP provides a safe and structured environment for clients and a standardized manual for therapists.
This protocol is essential for mental health providers working with survivors of man-made or natural disasters, refugees, and individuals who have experienced trauma.
Participants will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical tools.
The G-TEP Protocol is designed for groups, making it a valuable resource for working through long waiting lists. It also offers stabilisation and resourcing tools that can empower emotional balance and allow clients to undergo EMDR without triggering,
making the process easier.
The workshop includes:
- Lecture and video demonstrations
- Guided and supervised practice in small groups
- Opportunities to deliver the scripted protocol and work experientially on your
own material
What you’ll receive:
- G-TEP Manual
- G-TEP Worksheet for immediate clinical use
- Pending CPD Points by the EMDR UK Association
