Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol

Thank you for your interest in this training. Registrations are now closed. Please consider the November dual Training.

Consider adding this important protocol to your toolbox. It extends the power of EMDR so that the traumatic memory is not reinforced in its current form by delaying the details of the episode until processing can occur.

Course Overview

R-TEP expands your ability to respond individually to a recent past event or an extremely overwhelming, fragmented event as it unfolds. It is designed to meet the need for additional containment and safety. It can be used with situations of on-going distress where no period of respite occurs.

If the clinician is working on-line, it is important that the clinician be able to uphold all the ethical guidelines and standards for remote administration that would be applicable for in person administration. Clinicians must be familiar with the EMDRIA guidelines for Telehealth, in particular, the recommendation for a Telehealth course for any clinician working remotely. All clinicians must be familiar with the licensing laws for their profession in the state in which the client resides.
