The group immediate stabilization procedure
Description
The Immediate Stabilization Procedure (ISP®) is used for individual as well as group interventions (now called G-ISP). It can address victims within minutes and/or hours of the critical incident. The focus is to support patients realizing that they are “safe now” from the trauma that occurred, and they can come safely into a present time orientation demonstrated by their ability to have calm behavior and communicate verbally. This low intensity intervention can be used by those who have been trained such as EMDR practitioners, first responders, and medical personnel. The use of G-ISP quickly allows the provider to help people jumpstart their self-regulatory system rapidly after difficult situations.
