I am a Certified Facilitator of TCTSY, a specialized, empirically validated clinical intervention for complex trauma and chronic symptoms of PTSD. TCTSY has been developed and empirically validated with many years of research and direct client feedback through The Trauma Center (now The Center for Trauma and Embodiment) in Brookline, MA.
Certification TCTSY-F 2022: 300 hour course over 8 months through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at Justice Resource Institute.
Incorporating elements from Hatha Yoga, interpersonal and attachment theory, and trauma model theory, TCTSY offers a guided physical form and movement-based intervention to strengthen greater sense of trust and safety within one's own body and self system.
TCTSY can be in a group format (See above), and incorporated into individual psychotherapy sessions, or scheduled as a full TSY session.
Robust Research:
- Included in National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) database published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
- 5-year randomized controlled trial study of military veteran participants demonstrated TCTSY as an effective treatment researchers of the study (Emory University, 2021) when compared to Cognitive Processing
- More rapid symptom improvement
- Higher participant retention
- Equally sustained effects
