Objectives

1. Identify trauma and stressor-related disorders and how they inform trauma-focused treatment planning.
2. Differentiate between developmental, attachment-related, and shock trauma in clinical practice.
3. Recognize common trauma symptoms and comorbidities, and select appropriate intervention strategies.
4. Incorporate trauma-informed assessment tools to evaluate readiness and monitor progress.
5. Explain how trauma impacts the brain and describe approaches that support neurobiological healing.
6. Describe the three-phase treatment approach emphasized in ITATM®: stabilization, trauma processing, and reintegration.
7. Compare key trauma modalities and how ITATM® integrates their evidence-based elements.
8. Apply phase-based strategies like sensory regulation and bilateral stimulation to promote emotional safety.
9. Utilize somatic, cognitive, and expressive tools to support trauma recovery.
10. Analyze case examples that demonstrate phase-based interventions in complex trauma treatment.
11. Assess how integrative, phase-based trauma treatment can support healing within time-limited clinical settings.
12. Summarize current research supporting integrative trauma approaches like ITATM®.

Outline

Foundations of Trauma and the ITATM® Framework

• Module 1: Understanding Trauma & Why Clients Stay Stuck
  • The neurobiology of trauma and its impact on brain development
  • How trauma responses become hardwired (fight/flight/freeze/fawn)
  • The role of attachment injuries in developmental trauma
  • Why many trauma survivors do not respond to traditional talk therapy
  • How trauma and comorbidities (e.g., anxiety, dissociation, depression) interact
  • Introduction to ITATM®: a neuro-informed, attachment-focused model for trauma recovery
     
• Module 2: Trauma Assessment and Treatment Planning
  • Diagnostic classifications: PTSD, Complex Trauma, and related disorders
  • Key trauma assessment tools and screening measures
  • Identifying trauma symptoms and tailoring treatment plans accordingly
  • Clinical considerations for working with dissociation and dysregulation
  • Trauma-informed intake and assessment protocols
     
• Module 3: Overview of the ITATM® Phase-Based Framework
  • High-level overview of the three treatment phases: stabilization, processing, reintegration
  • How trauma recovery mirrors the brain’s natural healing sequence
  • Foundational principles for client safety and stabilization
  • Practical strategies to prepare clients for deeper trauma work
  • How ITATM® integrates somatic, cognitive, and attachment-based interventions
     
• Experiential Practice 1
  • Grounding, orienting, and somatic awareness techniques
  • Practice: co-regulation strategies, bilateral stimulation, containment tools
  • Group reflection and skill-building exercises

Application, Integration & Practical Skills
