Trauma Model Therapy Consultation

Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) consultation is a highly-specialized supervisory process designed to help mental health professionals understand, conceptualize, and treat clients with complex, pervasive trauma, chronic dissociation, and complex comorbidity. Developed by Dr. Colin A. Ross, TMT moves beyond single-modality symptom reduction, providing a foundational framework for understanding how trauma affects the structure of the self and relational dynamics. We focus on integrating the five-stage TMT framework—from stabilization and safety to structural integration—to achieve profound psychological healing and recovery.

Who This Consultation Is For

This consultation is ideal for:

Trauma Specialists: Clinicians who routinely work with clients diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and other complex dissociative or personality disorders.
Clinicians Struggling with Complex Comorbidity: Therapists who find clients "stuck" in treatment due to overlapping issues (e.g., substance abuse, eating disorders, and self-harm) that are rooted in trauma.
EMDR/Other Modality Practitioners: Professionals who need a robust theoretical foundation to safely and effectively integrate their current techniques with clients experiencing chronic or severe dissociation.
Programs and Teams: Clinical teams or treatment centers seeking to implement TMT principles to improve program stability, enhance staff training, and create a truly trauma-informed environment.

What We Offer

We provide tailored support based on the clinical and research principles outlined in Dr. Ross's Trauma Model Therapy:

TMT Case Conceptualization: Assistance in applying the TMT framework to understand how a client's history of trauma, attachment, and relational dynamics dictates their present symptoms and treatment needs.
Stabilization and Dissociation Management: Practical strategies for achieving client stabilization, effectively working with internal systems and safely managing active dissociation in session.
Treatment Planning Fidelity: Guidance on implementing the TMT framework to move clients systematically toward structural integration and healing.
Comorbidity Solutions: Learning how TMT offers a solution to the problem of comorbidity by identifying a single, underlying trauma-based etiology for multiple symptom clusters.
Modality Integration: Support in safely interweaving other evidence-based practices (like EMDR, DBT, IFS, CPT, TF-CBT, Somatic, etc.) within the stabilizing and containing structure of TMT.
