CPHSSWCE0053 - EMDR: A-TIP (Acute-Traumatic Incident Procedures)

Course Description

When challenged with an acute traumatic incident, e.g., assault,
divorce, natural disaster, sudden loss of a loved one, etc. talking
with a ‘supportive ear’ often helps the survivor work through the
experience.  At times talking is not enough – the survivor is still
‘living it.’ In those situations, more focused interventions may be
necessary.

Acute Traumatic Incident Processing (A-TIP) utilizes bilateral eye
movements to help desensitize the survivor to the traumatic event to
the point where talking about it may be of help.

Research has shown that bilateral eye movements rapidly diminish the
vividness of images and the strong emotions/physical sensations
associated with a traumatic event.

This one-day presentation of A-TIP will teach you, the skilled
professional, how to administer bilateral eye movements in a very
structured protocol, to help you treat survivors suffering from acute
traumatic stress.
