SSP
Dialectical (DBT)
Post Induction Therapy
A skills based therapy, separated into 4 modules. Including, mindfulness, distress
tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Each module
includes skills to help clients problem solve and change unhealthy behaviors.
These skills better help individuals manage the stressors and anxiety in life by
utilizing homework assignments, and setting goals revolved around unhealthy
behaviors that they are looking to change.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a simple but
efficient trauma focused therapy using bilateral stimulation (BLS) – tapping,
auditory tones, or eye movements – to accelerate the brain’s capacity to process
and heal traumatic memories in the context of a safe environment. EMDR assists
the brain in forming new associations between the traumatic memory and more
adaptive memories or information. These new associations result in complete
information processing, new learning, elimination of emotional distress, and the
development of cognitive insights about the memories.
Based on Pia Mellody’s Overview of Developmental Immaturity Issues model, PITtreats childhood trauma that leads to problem behaviors in adulthood, includingproblems with codependency and addiction issues. PIT utilizes various therapeutictechniques, including experiential therapy, to directly address unresolved childhood trauma and allow individuals to heal and move forward.
Brainspotting (BSP) is a trauma therapy intervention in which eye placement helps to process traumatic memories that cause the individual distress. Brainspotting allows forfaster healing from trauma leading to a better quality of life.
A talk based therapy that helps in identifying negative thought patterns that contribute to overwhelming feelings, and negative behaviors. By becoming more aware of these feeling and behaviors, clients feel more in control and better able to apply new skills and behaviors. Over time, these skills, behaviors, and new thought processes become more integrated in the client’s everyday life.
Safe and Sound Protocol or SSP is a sound protocol that provides a neuroplatform of safety for the client’s process and is used as a preparatory tool, during treatment in order to kindle/ help clients stay within their “window of tolerance” as they advance in their healing process. By actively attending to filtered music the middle ear muscles are challenged to contract to improve the ability to process human speech and dampen low frequency sounds associated with predators (threat) with the goal of decreasing sound sensitivity and activating neural circuits that assist in titrated down regulation of client’s chronically overly activated nervous system and increased ability to self-regulate.
Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a trauma-focused approach to psychotherapy that defines and addresses multiple internal sub-parts (or “families”) of self within each person’s mental system. Often the internal parts are in conflict with one another and with the person’s core Self. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the internal parts of self.
