For Clinicians and Professionals
The Clinical Model: TRM
Discover the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM): A Pathway to Healing and Nervous System Balance
The Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)® is a body-centered, neuroscience-informed approach that helps individuals restore balance in mind, body, and spirit after trauma. Designed for clinicians and practitioners, TRM teaches ten somatic skills that support clients in processing overwhelming experiences, completing thwarted biological survival responses, and reconnecting with their natural capacity for well-being.
Especially effective for those impacted by developmental, historical, and intergenerational trauma, TRM offers a compassionate, strengths-based framework grounded in the understanding that the body holds the multi-sensory imprint of trauma.
Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, somatic psychology, neuroplasticity, and sensory integration, TRM practitioners learn how to empower their clients to regulate their autonomic nervous system. TRM provides the missing link in trauma recovery by emphasizing body awareness and bottom-up processing, helping clients access relief, meaning, and greater emotional regulation through the innate wisdom of the body.
Key Features of TRM:
💡 Biologically Based: Learn how the body responds to fear and threat and how healing begins by restoring regulation in the autonomic nervous system.
🛠 Somatic Tools for Safety: Practice the ten trauma and resiliency-informed skills that help complete thwarted fight/flight responses and reduce intrusive symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and dissociation.
🌿 From Surviving to Thriving: Support clients in moving beyond survival to reconnect with hope, empowerment, and meaning.
🌎 Culturally Responsive & Adaptable: Used globally in diverse settings, from disaster zones to clinical offices, TRM meets clients where they are—honoring the body's wisdom across all cultures and identities.
Come and learn a deeper, embodied approach to trauma recovery - TRM offers a practical, heart-centered path to resilience.
“The body holds the story—and it also holds the key to healing.”
TRM Level 1
TRM Level 1 explores the biology of fear and threat and the automatic, natural defensive responses that occur when faced with a life-threatening and/or dangerous situation. Most importantly, this model explores the concept of resiliency and how to restore balance to the body and the mind after traumatic experiences.
TRM Level 2
The TRM Level 2 training builds on the Level 1 training and focuses on working with trauma reprocessing in greater depth emphasizing a fuller understanding of the survival responses and how attachment theories are applied to TRM.
