TRTP

Are you, or someone you love, in need of some reliable solutions for the challenges of anxiety, depression, PTSD or trauma-related issues?

TRTP is not built around symptom management as the end point. In the TRTP model, when anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms are trauma-driven, the work is to resolve the unresolved distressing events that keep the body responding as if the threat is still happening.

TRTP works at the level of cause, not coping strategy. It aims to resolve the unresolved emotional charge of past distressing events so the nervous system no longer needs to keep generating the same protective symptoms.

So – what are the causes? What sits behind anxiety, depression, PTSD etc.?

TRTP takes a clear clinical position: many anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma-related presentations are driven by unresolved distressing events from the past. Where symptoms are better explained by physical illness, brain injury, medication/substance effects, acute psychosis, mania or another condition requiring specialist care, TRTP practitioners should assess suitability and refer appropriately.

Our body, indeed, our whole being, continues to behave as if those events are happening now. ‘I’m not safe!’

When a distressing event occurs, we go into a state of Fight, Flight or Freeze activated by the sympathetic nervous system. A high stress response – with adrenaline, cortisol and other stress hormones constantly being produced and circulated through our body. It’s exhausting.

When the system is not in balance, we can stay stuck in that state resulting in the symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD and more.

Resolve or Manage?

TRTP is built around resolution, not indefinite management. It works to put distressing events firmly in the past, resolve their emotional charge, and shift the client from “I’m not safe” to “It’s over; I’m safe now.” When that shift occurs, symptoms often reduce or cease because their protective function is no longer required.

Our Fight Flight Freeze, high stress response is switched off and replaced with an empowered, self-regulated state. The sympathetic nervous system recalibrates and is calmed.

We quickly move from a state of ‘I’m Not safe!’ to, ‘It’s over… I’m safe now…’

Calm returns, on all levels.

The aim of TRTP is not to teach the client to tolerate the alarm. The aim is to switch off an alarm that no longer needs to be ringing. Many clients report that triggers and symptoms reduce or cease once the unresolved distressing event is no longer being experienced by the body as current danger.

For trauma to be resolved

The person must (somehow) be moved to an empowered position in regard to the trauma

The body must (somehow) know that the event / events are over

TRTP™ is a structured 3 step process.

It does not re-traumatise – there is no need to go into the details of retelling your story

Step one involves changing the way you identify with yourself - reconfiguring the limiting or damaging beliefs you hold about yourself. This is done in a guided, safe space that leaves you feeling changed. For many people this session alone is life changing.

Step two involves taking the emotional charge out of the past. The past events are resolved and the body and the unconscious move to a state of ‘It’s over… I’m safe now…’. The sympathetic nervous system is returned to a state of calm. Many experience a state of calm and empowerment for the first time in years.

Step three is a no holds barred look into the future, focusing on what you want it to look like, now that you are no longer limited by your own limiting beliefs about yourself and are free of the pain of the past. Leaving you feeling excited and ready to live your best life!

Frequestly Asked Questions

01

What makes TRTP™ different from other Modalities?

Trauma is not stored in the conscious mind. Trauma is stored in the subconscious mind. TRTP™ works where the trauma is stored and addresses it there – in the subconscious mind.

TRTP™ also arrests client self-sabotage before it begins. It does this in the first session, by changing the unhelpful negative unconscious core beliefs to the positive. For example, if the unconscious has the belief , ‘It’s not safe to get well’ – self-sabotage will be the result. The unconscious will keep the client safe, according to its own beliefs. If this unconscious core belief is changed to ‘It’s safe to get well’ – then obviously, a positive outcome will be achieved more quickly, without the unconscious attempting to keep the client ‘safe’ in unwellness.

The biggest difference between TRTP™ and other modalities is the extraordinary, positive client outcomes.

02

Do You Have Evidence-Based Research on TRTP™?

As Norman Doidge, of brain plasticity renown, says, ‘When you’re on the cutting-edge, you don’t have time to sit in research projects for years. You just get on with it, otherwise, you are no longer on the cutting edge. ‘AND we at TRTP™ have our first research projects underway.

We have been teaching TRTP™ for a short time. We are embarking on our first pilot study. This study is being designed / overseen by members of our graduate community.

03

What Clinical Presentations Does It Resolve?

We are currently doing case studies on the outcomes of TRTP™ with extreme complex PTSD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, fears and phobias and other trauma-related issues.
