What Is the Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR) Method? A Comprehensive Overview of Our Services in San Diego, CA

At A New View of You, we specialize in trauma therapy using the Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR) method—a powerful, neuroscience-informed approach to healing that helps clients fully resolve trauma in a short, structured timeframe. However, many of our customers are not familiar with this method before they meet with us. We’re here to clear up any confusion for our clients in and around San Diego, California.

What Is the ITR® Method?

The Instinctual Trauma Response® is not just another talk therapy technique. It’s a comprehensive, solution-focused method that integrates body, mind, and emotion to bring real, lasting change. It’s based on the understanding that trauma becomes “stuck” in the brain and body when the natural trauma response cycle is interrupted. ITR® helps complete that cycle in a safe, empowering way.

How the ITR® Method Works

The method combines art therapy, narrative storytelling, somatic grounding, and parts psychology to help individuals process trauma without being re-traumatized. Clients are guided through structured tools to organize trauma memories and tell their story in a safe and contained format. Sessions also include grounding practices that reduce the intensity of emotional flashbacks, anxiety, and dissociation. Most clients complete their healing in approximately 20 hours of therapy, making ITR® both effective and time-limited.
