EMDR Recent Event Protocol: Immediate Support for Recent Trauma

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic and distressing experiences. Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or taps, EMDR facilitates the reprocessing of negative memories, reducing their emotional impact.

EMDR Recent Event Protocol

The EMDR Recent Event Protocol (R-TEP) is a specialized approach designed to provide immediate support to individuals who have recently experienced a traumatic event. This protocol aims to help individuals process the traumatic experience quickly, reducing the risk of long-term psychological impact and promoting faster recovery.
