Achieve a Deeper Connection With Your Inner Self

Who understands more about what you've been through and what you need to heal than you? Nobody! That’s what makes Instinctual Trauma Response® such an effective form of trauma therapy. The ITR® method is an empowerment model that puts you in charge of yourself. Its powerful, solution-oriented approach is a mix of neuroscience, art therapy, narrative therapy, and parts work that empowers you by making you the primary healer in your life. Here’s what you can look forward to with ITR® therapy in San Diego:

• Getting to the Root: Trauma and negative beliefs often stem from unresolved past experiences.
• Releasing Emotional Baggage: Trauma holds unresolved emotions like fear, anger, or sadness with the Graphic Narrative® so the event is over once and for all.
• Shifting Negative Beliefs: Negative beliefs about oneself often arise from trauma. A tool called the Externalized Dialogue® reframes these beliefs, leading to a more positive self-perception.
• Building Self-Esteem: By confronting and resolving these beliefs, individuals can rebuild their self-worth and confidence, which is essential for moving forward.

The ITR® Method doesn't ask what's wrong with you—it asks what happened to you. When you can understand what happened to you and how that formed your beliefs, you'll get to the root of the trauma. You will develop a new view of yourself; one with compassion, empathy, and love, using your strengths to work through the traumatic stress. You will become the leader in your own life. You will help the parts of yourself that are stuck and still experiencing the trauma by learning how to recognize them, how to communicate with them, and help them to find present-day solutions to learn to let go.

The ITR® Process: A Unique and Powerful Way to Heal

The ITR® method is a structured, evidence-supported process developed to reduce stress symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, and self-harm. The goal of the ITR method is to provide full recovery from trauma, not just symptom management. Benefits include:

• Rapid relief from traumatic stress symptoms (a matter of days!).
• Treating the root cause of trauma rather than managing coping mechanisms.
• A holistic approach incorporating neuroscience, art, and narrative therapies.
• Being able to address various trauma types, including early-life trauma.
• An effective treatment for those who have tried other methods without success.
• Worldwide accessibility.

Through ITR® sessions, you will understand the impact of traumatic events on your life and use simple grounding strategies to view yourself with compassion. This type of PTSD treatment can be done in-person or remotely, equipping you with tools to manage and reduce symptoms when they appear, identify triggers, and find effective long-term relief.
