What is Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT)?
Trauma Resolution Therapy (TRT) is the application of ETM theory. It is a five phase structured process for resolving trauma at the source. All aspects of TRT support keeping the focus of the work on the etiology until the etiology is reversed i.e., the trauma is resolved. The five written phases can be completed in individual or group settings. There is a long form and a short form of TRT. The long form (five structured phases) is applied to long term trauma. Long term trauma refers to trauma or a series of related traumas that occurred at least more than 90 days ago, but usually many years ago. The short form is applied to near term trauma which has occurred within the last 90 days. It involves using only phases 1,2 and 5. There is also a crisis management tool used with crisis managers who have experienced on the job trauma either directly or indirectly.
