Professional Stress Management for Maritime Personnel
This workshop is designed for seafaring professionals who face high-stakes stressors including extended periods at sea, emergency situations, crew management challenges, and operational pressures. It introduces the EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP), an evidence-based group adaptation of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
The programme focuses on stress processing, emotional regulation, and resilience building. G-TEP is particularly effective for maritime groups experiencing ongoing or episodic stress, as it enables self-regulation without requiring verbal disclosure of personal experiences. Available for delivery online or in-person.
