What is Required Before Attending a Group EMDR or Recent Event Session?
Each session invites all participants who voluntarily are choosing to participate in Lancaster. It is critical that each person is electing to be in this process, as some members may not yet be ready to participate. Prior to attending, individuals levels of stability are assessment - and some people may be better suited for a refer to individual EMDR counseling to another provider in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Where can this process occur?
Great question! Our team is flexible - we offer both on site EMDR group and recent event protocol at our downtown Lancaster Griest Building Office, as well as can travel to your community location. These can occur at your office, school, family’s home, coworking spaces and other creative locations in the Lancaster community center. Each location must have both a group room and a small break out room. The goal is for us to help intervene as soon as possible in order to reduce the residual negative impact of trauma.
How large is each group?
Great question! Our Lancaster Therapy facilitators will discuss your teams specific EMDR therapy needs and may see small groups of about 8-12 participants, depending on whether a co-facilitator is present. Please discuss with our therapy team how we can run multiple groups over the course of the day to serve necessary large scale community traumas.
Do we talk about the trauma? What is participants get more triggered?
This process is specifically designed for our Lancaster community residents to never have to speak about the details, while addressing the impact of the event. The only spoken words will be to help strengthen positive qualities and resources from the participants.
How does this work?
G-TEP and R-Tep are based on the three-pronged approach of EMDR developed initially by Francine Shapiro. The process pairs a bilateral movement (a left-right motion) while thinking about the trauma. It allows our brains to form adaptive reactions and build resiliency through a step by step evidence-based proven process.
We want to talk more how we can help.
Let’s ensure that we can help reduce the likelihood of lingering trauma effects for the Lancaster community - by intervening with EMDR that can curb the onset of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health diagnoses.
Our Bottom Line: To help the Lancaster community thrive and foster resiliency following crisis group and recent events through the intervention of EMDR therapy.
