Description

Relational Trauma Repair (RTR) takes the guesswork out of incorporating experiential work into programming and practice. A loss of connection with the authentic, feeling self and comfortable connection with others, can be the fallout from trauma. The experiential and embodied processes in Relational Trauma Repair (RTR) activate the social engagement system in service of healing. They give participants practice in tuning in on themselves and connecting in new, more satisfying ways with others.

 

RTR provides a user-friendly way to help clients to engage and bond in groups and/or deepen their experience of one-to-one or virtual therapy. Because trauma is stored in the body, it is important that experiential processes and embodiment is a part of any trauma resolution therapy. In combination, RTR and role play offer an approach to healing relational trauma, restoring spontaneity, and building resilience. And they are psychoeducational, they incorporate the research that needs to be taught in recovering from cPTSD.

 

RTR includes processes that are easy to learn, empower clients to become stakeholders in their own recovery, and build the skills of emotional literacy, intelligence, and resilience. In this 8-hour, 4-session training, we’ll explore a focused use of trauma-informed role play that helps clients move from a state of dysregulation to self- and co-regulation.
