Group EMDR Therapy for Trauma Recovery

Experience EMDR in a supportive, professionally facilitated virtual group.

When an EMDR Group is a Good Fit

EMDR groups may be helpful when several people have been affected by the same distressing or traumatic experience. A group format can offer a structured, supportive way to process the emotional impact of a shared event while maintaining privacy - participants do not need to share the details of their experience with the group.​​

SHARED DIFFICULTIES

Families, coworkers, teams, or other groups navigating the impact of a distressing event together.

SCHOOLS + UNIVERSITIES

Support for students, faculty, staff, or campus communities affected by a traumatic event or crisis.

CANCER JOURNEY

Cancer patients currently in treatment or their caregivers - Group EMDR can help address the emotional and psychological impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment journey.

TRAUMATIC EVENTS

Groups affected by a recent traumatic experience who may benefit from a structured, facilitated approach to reducing distress.

Every person and situation is different. EMDR groups are not appropriate for everyone, and Wren begins with an individual consultation to determine whether the group format is a good fit and to answer questions before participation. If you're looking for information on one-on-one therapy instead, explore Individual EMDR Therapy.

Who Leads Our Support?

The Professionals Supporting Your EMDR Group

Wren Gore, LICSW, Certified EMDR Therapist licensed in Vermont and Massachusetts, has extensive experience facilitating EMDR groups, including humanitarian work through the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) during the COVID-19 pandemic, helping individuals, families, therapists, and healthcare workers process trauma.

​

What is EMDR Group Therapy?

A Structured Protocol for Recent Traumatic Events

Unlike traditional talk therapy groups, EMDR group therapy allows participants to process difficult experiences without having to share personal details aloud. Using a structured EMDR protocol, participants work quietly on their own experiences while receiving guidance from trained facilitators in a safe group environment.

Benefits

Many participants report:

​

  • Reduced anxiety and emotional distress

  • Less tension and hypervigilance

  • Greater feelings of calm

  • Increased emotional resilience

  • Relief related to a specific difficult experience

 

Every person's experience is unique, and individual results cannot be guaranteed.

Privacy & Safety

A Safe, Supportive Environment

Your privacy is important.

  • Sessions are held through HIPAA-compliant Zoom.

  • All participants agree to confidentiality guidelines.

  • Sharing personal details is optional.

  • EMDR processing occurs silently, so participants do not need to discuss their trauma with the group.


Because trauma processing can sometimes temporarily increase emotional distress, participants should have adequate support available outside of the group. The initial consultation helps determine whether this format is appropriate for your needs.
