Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EMDR GAP Consultant?

An EMDR GAP Consultant is a clinician with advanced training and expertise in the EMDR GAP protocols—ASSYST, EMDR-PRECI, and EMDR-IGTP. They provide consultation to therapists who have completed EMDR GAP Training and are working to implement these protocols in crisis, group, or humanitarian settings.

Do I need a GAP Consultant after completing EMDR GAP Training?

While post-training GAP consultation is not required in the same way as Basic Training consultation, it is strongly recommended for clinicians who are new to implementing these advanced protocols, particularly in high-stakes crisis response or group settings. A GAP Consultant can help you apply the protocols safely and effectively.
