Discover the Power of Emotional Recovery with the REINA Program
Empower yourself to help others overcome adversity and trauma through an innovative and transformative program.
The REINA Program is for only if:
• Practical Skills: Learn interventions that can be applied immediately.
• Personal Growth: Experience an emotional transformation that will impact your life and the lives of others.
• Support Network: Connect with other professionals who share your mission.
While there are various approaches to emotional recovery, many lack a practical and spiritual connection. REINA stands out by integrating the Adaptive Information Processing dynamic with a pastoral perspective, providing a Biblical solution that truly works.
Although it has a therapeutic effect, as many techniques do, it is not psychotherapy, which is a much longer process implemented by properly trained professionals. The REINA Program teaches simple exercises that have even been used with survivors of the conflict in Ethiopia, many of whom were traumatized by the effects of war, with complete safety, as long as they are implemented as we teach in the program.
We also emphasize in this program the importance of knowing how to refer individuals to the appropriate professionals in cases where specialized support is necessary.
Have you ever felt powerless in the face of someone’s suffering?
I have felt that way many times.
Life is filled with challenges that can leave deep scars. Many individuals are grappling with unresolved trauma, and emotional pain can intensify if left unaddressed. Unfortunately, these things do not get better with time.
But I discovered the power of natural mechanism of desensitization that our brain possess. It is call the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) which allows people to get past the neurochemical limitations and allow the power of choice to emerge.
You are not alone in this struggle, and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and impotent. The good news is that there is a way to make a difference in the lives of others!!
Facing so many conflicts and challenges in life, the number of people needing attention and care to overcome their traumas and suffering has been growing.
The REINA Programa is a transformative program that aims to train leaders, professionals from all areas and facilitators who work directly with the community and who, in adverse situations, can produce relief. Developed for use in groups, it can help people move towards emotional recovery within a pastoral perspective.
The objective of this course is to train its participants so that, in a group of people, they are able to carry out practical interventions that minimize the discomfort and negative impact of adverse life events.
With a biblical approach, understanding that the spiritual has an influence on the emotional, the program uses exercises based on the AIP Theory, which reduces the state of emotional disturbance by stimulating and reorganizing traumatic memories.

Her decades-long experience in implementing the EMDR movement, TraumaClinic Model for Basic Training in Brazil, has been published in the Journal of EMDR Practice and Research, (2022) and her Adult Drawing Protocol was published in the book, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Scripted Protocols: Basics and Special Situations.
Esly Carvalho has also ministered in the pastoral field for decades, sometimes alternating between the two. She holds a doctorate in Psychology and has dedicated her life to helping people overcome life’s challenges. A natural pioneer, she has been instrumental in founding various ministries, including Eirene do Brasil, Psychodrama movement in Ecuador, and the EMDR Psychotherapy movement in Brazil and as well as in other countries of Latin America and Iberia.
She is married to Ken Grant, who was raised in China and inherited the missionary vision of his parents, who worked with Hudson Taylor’s China Inland Mission. He served in Latin America with various ministries (HCJB, Compassion International, Insight for Living/Charles Swindoll).
Esly has developed projects at the intersection of Psychology and Christian faith in the different countries where her husband worked. Now back in her native Brazil, she is applying her experience as a group therapist (Psychodrama) and specialist/trainer in EMDR therapy to this program for paraprofessionals and Christian leaders who desire to bring emotional healing to their congregations, leaders, and service communities. Currently, Esly is committed to equipping the Church to better meet the needs of its members, which is the driving force behind this program.
Author of many books, her vision is to see the Church as a place of refreshment for the wounded soul, sustained by the love of Jesus. In this program, Esly and her highly specialized team offer a simple, safe, and effective way to help people in the emotional recovery of their adverse experiences.
The digital world that was ushered in by the pandemic made it possible to take the TraumaClinic EMDR Basic Training Model to Angola and Moçambique (online), Poland and the United States.
More recently, Esly has taken her international vision to a new level, by developing programs that use low-intensity EMDR/AIP group interventions for implementation in many countries of the world, including Ethiopia where PIPA has been translated into Amharic and Tigray, Polish and Ukrainian, Portuguese and Spanish; and Hebrew and Arabic translations will be ready next year.
