Dr. Ignacio (Nacho) Jarero will present his series of protocols that can be used to treat people who have experienced a variety of traumatic events including recent events, ongoing stressors and historic abuse. The effectiveness of his EMDR protocols have been investigated in 65 peer-reviewed published papers and in a variety of cultural contexts. The populations studied in these papers include: survivors of natural disasters and war, hospital health workers with Covid-19 patients, sexually assaulted women, war veterans, adolescents with multiple adverse childhood experiences, female survivors of exploitation trafficking, first responders, caregivers of patients with autism spectrum disorder, people with prolonged interpersonal traumatic events, caregivers of patients with dementia and survivors of domestic violence.
The protocols can be applied in a stepwise approach (see diagram below). EMDR Clinicians have used these in their private practice or in the field to treat individuals and groups living with recent, present, or past prolonged adverse experiences.
During this training, EMDR practitioners will learn about the theory and neurophysiology behind the protocols and procedures with the most research in the EMDR Early Intervention and Ongoing Traumatic Stress field. They will then be taught each protocol and participate in a practicum that enhances skills associated with this protocol.
The four protocols taught are:
- EMDR Integrative Group Treatment Protocol for Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-IGTP-OTS).
- EMDR Protocol for Recent Critical Incidents and Ongoing Traumatic Stress (EMDR-PRECI).
- Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization (ASSYST) Procedure for Individuals.
- Acute Stress Syndrome Stabilization (ASSYST) Procedure in a Group Setting.
