EMDR For Recent Events and Early Interventions
REP, R-TEP, and PRECI Protocols for Trauma Therapists
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 lectures, 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.
Practical Skills
Practical Interventions You'll Learn
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. In this EMDR early intervention training, you'll learn how to:
- Assess client readiness for EMDR phases following a recent traumatic event, and make confident decisions about when to resource, when to use constricted processing, and when a full protocol is appropriate
- Apply five stabilization and resourcing techniques for distress management and dual awareness in the acute phase following trauma
- Use EMD and EMDr as constricted processing strategies with recent event presentations, including how to apply them for stabilization before moving to a full protocol
- Implement REP, R-TEP, and PRECI, the three most commonly used EMDR protocols for recent traumatic events, so you can choose the right one for each client and situation
- Build a treatment plan for recent events that accounts for case conceptualization, client readiness, and the differences between early intervention and standard EMDR protocol
What You Get
What's Waiting for You Inside This Training
What changes when you have a clinical framework built specifically for recent event work:
.webp)
Assess readiness for recent event work
Determine when EMDR is appropriate after a traumatic event and which level of intervention fits each client's presentation.
Apply five stabilization and resourcing techniques
Use distress management and dual awareness tools designed for the acute phase, when clients are still in heightened reactivity.
Use constricted processing strategies
Apply EMD, EMDr, and working memory taxation when full reprocessing isn't yet safe or clinically appropriate.
Implement the REP protocol
Apply the Recent Event Protocol to clients in the acute aftermath of a single traumatic event.
Implement R-TEP
Use the Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol for clients whose recent trauma involves multiple events or extended exposure.
Implement PRECI
Apply the Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents in disaster, crisis, and large-scale event contexts.
Choose the right protocol in real time
Build the clinical judgment to select between REP, R-TEP, and PRECI based on the client and the presentation in front of you.
Build treatment plans for recent events
Develop EMDR treatment plans that account for early intervention realities and differ meaningfully from the standard 8-phase approach.
