Trauma Touch Therapy ™
Trauma Touch Therapy (TTT) is an advanced bodywork modality that is designed to meet the needs of clients with trauma histories. TTT is a body-based integrative approach to healing trauma utilizing the wisdom of the body, social engagement, curiosity and self-empowerment. TTT is a collaborative approach to healing trauma and each session is as unique as an individual's set of personal circumstances.
What it is:
- Body-based approach to healing trauma
- Healing centered engagement
- A relational approach to healing
- Teaches healthy self-regulation
- Trusts the body
- Focuses on what is going right
- Allows for transformation
- Makes space for sensations and emotions
- Empowers the client
What it isn't:
- TTT is not psychotherapy. Clients may wish to be in therapy while going through TTT, although it is not a requirement.
- TTT is not energy work
- Although some components of TTT can be hands on, it is not massage therapy
