Trainer: Rebecca Kase
On-Demand: Available with lifetime access for asynchronous learning. This course was recorded on July 24, 2025.
When a client walks in days or weeks after a traumatic event, the standard EMDR protocol is not always the right first move. You need a different clinical framework, and you need it to be practical.
EMDR for Recent Events and Early Interventions is a focused on-demand training with Rebecca Kase, LCSW, that consolidates the most current and clinically relevant techniques for working with recent trauma into one place. You will learn how to assess client readiness, choose the right intervention, apply five stabilization techniques, and work confidently with the three most widely used recent event protocols: REP, R-TEP, and PRECI.
This course includes lecture, case vignettes, and experiential practice. It is built for EMDR therapists who want a to-the-point, clinically grounded resource for early intervention work, without having to piece it together from multiple sources.
Because the best learning happens when you feel safe. Ask freely, show up fully, and learn in a relational, non-judgmental environment built for practitioners like you.
Expect real case examples, clear guidance, and a teaching style that makes even complex topics feel approachable so you can confidently use what you learn in session right away.
Join a community of clinicians learning side by side, sharing real case insights and peer support so you can grow your skills with confidence alongside your peers in meaningful connection.
This training gives you a complete clinical toolkit for EMDR early intervention work, from initial assessment through protocol selection and application. Every technique is taught with direct application to recent traumatic event presentations.
