Why ITR® at A New View of You in San Diego, CA, Is Effective for Both Military and Civilian Trauma

Trauma does not discriminate—it impacts people from all walks of life—and Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR) therapy offers a powerful way to process experiences that are hard to confront. It’s not just for veterans, either! ITR® therapy at A New View of You can help any San Diego, California, resident who’s struggling with trauma, whether they were traumatized in childhood or suffered through a terrifying experience as an adult.

Addressing Military Trauma With the ITR® Method

Military service members often experience combat stress or survivor’s guilt after repeated exposure to life-threatening events. Traditional talk therapy may feel slow or even be retraumatizing for veterans who want relief. However, with ITR®, clients work through trauma using art, narrative, and grounding techniques to reorganize overwhelming memories. This method allows veterans to regain their confidence and emotional stability.

Instinctual Trauma Response: Supporting Civilian Trauma Recovery

Civilians may face trauma from accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or childhood experiences. ITR® therapy can resolve childhood or adult traumas in a short amount of time, often about 20 hours. Unlike open-ended therapy models, ITR equips clients with lifelong tools they can continue to use long after sessions end.

Why ITR® Works for Any Source of Trauma

What makes ITR® unique is its foundation in neuroscience, parts psychology, and somatic awareness. It provides a structured path for healing that reduces retraumatization and allows clients to reclaim control of their lives. As a Certified ITR® Specialist, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative this approach can be for both military veterans and civilians.
