Introducing Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), a model that empowers trauma survivors to overcome self-destructive and addictive behaviors. This approach focuses on treating the effects of traumatic events, as opposed to treating the event itself, and on managing unsafe and addictive impulses as trauma-driven.
In TIST, we focus on helping clients feel more connected, accepting, and self-compassionate. We guide our clients to use their own capacity for mindful observation to develop a relationship with their feelings, their impulses, and their young traumatized parts.
You will learn exactly how trauma drives survival responses that re-create the felt sense that these are still desperate times requiring desperate measures, leading to impulsive attempts to fight or flee.

EMDR has elements from multiple treatment approaches, and seems to have a therapeutic effect on the way the brain process information. Often treatment with EMDR can lead to appropriate information processing and a reduction in traumatic symptom presentations.
