Group Traumatic Event Protocol

Trauma can be worked on in group settings

If a large group of people want to process difficult events together, they can do it compassionately and privately using GTEP, developed from EMDR therapy.

This can be done virtually, or in person at a mutual location.

If you are interested in having a GTEP session for your community or group, please reach out to consult and arrange this with Katrin Miller.
