ISP® - Immediate Stabilization Procedure®
The Immediate Stabilization Procedure® (ISP®) is a brief, structured intervention developed by Dr. Gary Quinn to quickly reduce acute distress in crisis and trauma situations. Rooted in EMDR therapy principles, ISP® is purpose-built for rapid, frontline response rather than full trauma processing.
Mental health professionals, first responders, and crisis intervention teams can learn and deploy ISP® quickly, giving them a reliable tool for helping individuals regain emotional stability in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event.
When time is critical and comprehensive therapy isn't yet possible, ISP® bridges the gap, offering a fast, effective path to stabilization.
Key Features of ISP®
Rapid Application
With a typical intervention lasting just 15 to 20 minutes, ISP® is practical for real-world crisis response, where time is rarely a luxury.
Focused Approach
ISP® prioritizes acute stabilization over comprehensive trauma processing, giving individuals a faster path to emotional control when it's needed most.
Versatile Application
ISP® is adaptable across a wide range of environments, from disaster sites and emergency rooms to schools responding to critical incidents and first responder debriefings following traumatic events.
