EMDR Group Protocol
EMDR Group application (G-TEP) is useful for small groups who have been impacted by the same traumatic event. This is a comprehensive approach to treating recent events in the belief that serious trauma symptoms may be prevented by receiving early interventions. The goal is to reduce the emotional distress that surround the triggers and symptoms within a gentle and supportive group setting.
At no point are group members required, asked, or encouraged to discuss any details of their traumatic episode with others in the group. Individuals get the benefit of individualized treatment (privacy, own treatment goals) within a group setting.
Examples of events that would benefit from Group Based EMDR include but not limited to:
Situations experienced in an emergency room
First Responders attending a call
Group of individuals witnessing or experiencing a difficult and/or disturbing event.
Any event that has had an impact on you and/or others who experienced it (ie: death of a loved one; diagnosis of a chronic illness; exposure to domestic violence).
Act of violence on communities
Natural Disasters
Exposure to war/combat
