What is TRTP?

How TRTP works

TRTP™ incorporates dynamic re-imagination, addressing the trauma where it is stored – ‘in the subconscious and in the body’ (Levine, van der Kolk, Rothschild, Ogden).

The Richard Trauma Therapy aligns two requirements stated by Van der Kolk, Levine and other trauma experts. For trauma to be resolved:

1.The person must (somehow) be moved to an empowered position related to the trauma and/or distressed event;

2.The body must (somehow) know that the event/events are over AND it’s safe now to return to the stage of calmness;

TRTP™ initially resets underlying, unconscious core beliefs, which keep you stuck in patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour. By attending to these at the beginning of the process, self-sabotage is avoided in subsequent sessions.

TRTP™ then takes the emotional charge from the past without revisiting/re-traumatising, thus moving you to a place of empowerment related to the trauma.

TRTP™ shifts you from fight/flight/freeze to an empowered, self-regulated state. Your sympathetic nervous system remains calm, and the distressed memories are placed firmly in the past. That is, you will move quickly from the fight, flight, freeze – ‘I’m not safe!’ To, ‘It’s over. I’m safe now…’ Calm returns on all levels and symptoms generally cease.

TRTP™ will address any symptoms as well as the underlying cause of the trauma, safely removing the emotional charge from your past and returning you to a state of empowerment and calm.

TRTP & Psychotherapies

Ther Richard Trauma Process - TRTP™- is a highly effective blend of multiple psychotherapies and embraces many schools of thought. It is a very structured, yet dynamic process.

The Creator of TRTP, Judith Richards, affirms "It includes components of Gestalt, Mindfulness, Ego-state Therapy, Choice Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Parts Therapy, Emotion-focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dream Rehearsal Therapy and others. Where traditional treatment like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help you manage the symptoms, and prescribed medication reduces or dulls the symptoms, in most cases, TRTP therapy resolves the symptoms so that you can live a life free of trauma or distress events".
