G-TEP (Elan Shapiro) and C-GTEP (Adaptation for children by Ana Gomez) recognize that distress is not always something that has already ended. It offers a structured and contained way to begin reprocessing what is still unfolding—allowing individuals to engage in EMDR reprocessing within a group setting, while maintaining safety and minimal verbal disclosure.
It is a powerful example of how EMDR GTEP and CGTEP can meet people where they are, even when the story is not yet over.

EMDR con Caja de Arena: donde la experiencia se transforma!
Hay vivencias que no pueden ponerse en palabras.
No porque no existan, sino porque ocurrieron antes de que el lenguaje estuviera disponible… o fueron demasiado abrumadoras para ser dichas.
Sin embargo, el sistema las sigue sosteniendo. En el cuerpo. En las emociones. En la forma en que nos relacionamos.
La caja de arena en EMDR ofrece un camino distinto. Un espacio donde lo interno puede tomar forma sin presión, sin exigencia de explicar.
Aquí, las historias no se cuentan… se representan.
Se organizan. Se sienten. Y poco a poco, se transforman.
No es solo una herramienta. Es un proceso profundamente transformador, donde lo fragmentado encuentra conexión,
y lo que dolía en silencio puede empezar a integrarse con sentido.
Aprovecha la tarifa temprana hasta mayo 1, 2026!!

I am truly excited to invite you to a powerful and practical EMDR Group Protocols Series focused on adults, adolescents, children, and caregivers. This series offers 22 hours of live online training!!

In times of collective stress, community trauma, school-based crises, and family overwhelm, EMDR group protocols allow us to reach more people — without losing depth, attunement, or clinical integrity.
In this rich series we will explore:
GTEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol)
The G-TEP protocol is a structured EMDR group approach that allows clinicians to respond effectively to acute and collective stress. Especially useful in work with disaster-affected communities, refugees, families, and individuals exposed to adversity and trauma
C-GTEP
The child adaptation of GTEP — developmentally attuned, structured, and accessible — supporting children in metabolizing distress while honoring their developmental needs and regulatory capacity.
GPEP and The Parenting Wheel
Focused on caregivers, these models provide a structured space for resourcing, strengthening reflective capacity, and practicing co-regulation, mirroring, and emotionally attuned responses. Caregivers do not just learn concepts — they experience regulation, connection, and empowerment.
This is not simply protocol training. It is an opportunity to expand your clinical reach!
You may attend one training or the entire series. Each day stands on its own — and together they create a deeply integrated framework for working with families and communities.
Across all protocols, participants receive comprehensive manuals, structured scripts, reproducible handouts, and step-by-step implementation guides designed for immediate application in clinical, school, agency, and community settings.
Join us as we bring EMDR group work to individuals, families, and communities.
