Course Overview

Each protocol offers new tools for your practice. R-TEP expands your ability to respond individually to a recent or extremely overwhelming, fragmented event as it unfolds. It is designed to meet the need for additional containment and safety. G-TEP can be used with an individual who is better able to process privately, using color/drawing as a means to express their emotions; or, with more than one person at the same time. They could be working on the same or a different target because they do not share their negative associations. This can be used with families too. GREP is for enhancing a individual or a group to connect to the recourses that are needed to cope in the present. This is particularly important under conditions of on-going trauma where there is little respite.
