Workshop Outline:
This training event will equip participants with a cutting edge group EMDR protocol for recent trauma and mass trauma events. This protocol can also be used effectively for the treatment of ongoing disburbing events whether historical or recent.
DAY ONE – SATURDAY 05 FEBRUARY 2022
Part 1: This is an introduction, overview and preparation for Parts 2 & 3 of the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) – includes Powerpoint presentation videos.
Part 2: This is a guided role play practice with the trainer who demonstrates delivering the procedures of the protocol script with the structured steps of the G-TEP worksheet and answers questions. Research will be briefly surveyed.
DAY TWO – SATURDAY 19 FEBRUARY 2022
Part 3a: This is an experiential practice delivering the protocol as a group leader and receiving it as a group member. The practice is conducted in groups of four, closely supervised by the trainers.
Part 3b: (optional) A follow up meeting for Q & A / feedback after using G-TEP (use at least once / at least individually)
After completing all 3 parts of the remote G-TEP training, although this is equivalent to the usual full G-TEP training, participants are advised to work initially individually to gain experience. They can work with small groups face2face and also remotely after gaining sufficient experience and technical expertise. Supervision is recommended.
Elan Shapiro Bio:
Elan Shapiro, a British and Israeli Psychologist and EMDR Europe Consultant, is internationally well-known in the EMDR world for his pioneering work on developing EMDR protocols effective for early trauma response, R-TEP and its simplified application the G-TEP are effective and very useful tools that can be used, in part or whole, in everyday therapy practice. Note that the G-TEP can also be used for families, couples or even individually in some circumstances, since it utilises a large worksheet format that enables drawing or writing responses. Both protocols have been developed for treating fresh trauma experiences, as well as ongoing traumatic stress following adverse life-changing experiences. Elan has already trained over 300 EMDR clinicians in Dublin, Manchester, London, Newcastle, Plymouth and Wales during the last five years. He won the 2016 David Servan Schreiber Award for his outstanding contribution to EMDR therapy in the development (with Brurit Laub) of the Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol (R-TEP), with its variation of the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP)

Workshop Outline:
EMDR is an internationally recognised, empirically supported treatment for pathogenic memories. Despite its substantiative growth in the last 30-years, EMDR is still viewed with certain degrees of scepticism, particularly amongst other contemporaneous treatment interventions, particularly around its teaching and learning, and secondly, its research and development strategy.
For the purpose of this workshop a comprehensive review of EMDR will be undertaken, stripping back to the core architecture of each of the eight phases, and then expanding upon the adaptive information processing framework, its usefulness in making sense of clients, and then using it to determine effective, and efficient treatment planning and strategy. In addition, the workshop will explore the next generation of EMDR, and how this may impact on clinical practice and policies, teaching & learning, research & development, and trauma capacity building.
Learning Outcomes:
- Critically consider EMDR as an eight-phase protocolised treatment intervention
- Reflect on the application of AIP as a theoretical framework pertinent to pathogenic memories, and how these impacts on case conceptualisation and treatment planning
- Explore the utilisation of EMDR therapy as either a sole, serial or parallel treatment intervention
- Offer a critical review of the next generation of EMDR in terms of policies, practice, training, research and capacity building
