Webinar Description
RITTM
(Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model)
(MODULES 2 & 3)
The Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model (RITTM) is a comprehensive approach to trauma treatment which integrates different modalities of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), somatic psychology, and mindfulness-based interventions to provide a holistic approach to trauma healing.
The RITTM approach recognizes that trauma affects not only the mind but also the body, emotions, and spirit. Therefore, it emphasizes the need for a multi-dimensional approach that addresses all these aspects of the individual's experience.
RITTM includes specific techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), mindfulness practices, and somatic therapies. These techniques aim to help clients regulate their nervous system, develop new coping skills, and process traumatic memories in a safe and effective way.
Overall, RITTM aims to empower clients to reconnect with themselves and the world around them by building resilience, developing healthy self-regulation skills, and creating a new narrative of healing and growth.
MODULE 3:
Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model is a mind-body connection based integrative approach that treats the whole person. RITTM teaches the therapist to use an integration of the following modalities: EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic therapies, Gestalt, Energy Psychology, and Mindfulness.
The RITTM philosophy says that trauma creates an internal disconnection. Trauma disconnects clients from their body, from their emotions, from their mind, from friends and family, from God or spirituality—ultimately from who they truly are. RITTM emphasizes stabilization before trauma processing, utilizing a three phased approach to trauma treatment: Stabilization Phase, Processing Phase, Integration Phase.
(Trainer, Dr. Darsa is a licensed psychologist, an author, creator of RITTM (Reconnect Integrative Trauma Treatment Model), and founder of Reconnect Treatment Center, in CA. She has more than 20 years of clinical and administrative experience in trauma and mental health disorders.)
