What is Group PE Consultation?

Group PE Consultation consists of 12 weekly 90-minute Zoom meetings with up to 10 clinicians who are seeking case consultation on PE cases. Participants will present information about PTSD cases and appropriateness for PE as well as present individual PE cases through case discussion or (better yet!) video review of PE sessions.

Who may attend?

Group PE consultation is open to licensed clinicians who have completed the Intensive Workshop in PE with a certified PE trainer. Unlicensed individuals are also able to participate as long as they are practicing under a supervisor’s license. Participants may be beginners or more advanced practitioners of PE. Anyone who has completed the workshop and is interested in receiving feedback, consultation, and support from a PE expert is welcome!

Participants should have a potential PTSD case in mind that is likely to be appropriate for PE and will agree to be videotaped for consultation purposes in order to have the best group consultation experience.

When will Group PE Consultation take place?

Thursdays from 2pm — 3:30pm EST, beginning March 30, 2023 and ending June 15, 2023

Twelve group sessions are included in this package.

Tips for getting the most out of the group consultation experience

Group consultation is only as good as the cases that are being presented. So finding a PTSD case that is appropriate for PE is of paramount importance. We suggest that you begin thinking about potential PE cases as soon as you register for group consultation and that you plan to assess for PTSD symptoms and introduce the idea of PE to those individuals in the week or so before the first consultation group. Here you will find some guidelines for selection of training cases for PE.

You should also discuss and get permission to record sessions and to share it in the group consultation. You can find a sample authorization form here that you may modify to fit your needs. If you use this form, sections highlighted in yellow should be edited to reflect your particular circumstances.

If you are unsure about the fit for PE for an individual, we can discuss any questions, concerns, or reservations you may have about your potential PE case in the first consultation group. It is therefore generally expected that everyone will have at least one or two individuals to present to the group as potential PE candidates.
