Trauma Systems Therapy (TST)
A Comprehensive Approach to Healing from Trauma
Trauma affects not only individuals but also the systems and environments they live in. Trauma Systems Therapy (TST) is a holistic, evidence-based approach that addresses the complex interplay between a person’s emotional and behavioral challenges and the broader systems that influence their recovery. We specialize in TST to help individuals and families heal and thrive after trauma.
What is Trauma Systems Therapy (TST)
TST is a framework designed to support individuals who have experienced trauma by addressing two key components:
1. Emotional and Behavioral Dysregulation: The challenges individuals face in managing emotions and behaviors in response to trauma.
2. Environmental Stressors: The impact of external systems, such as family, school, or community, on the individual’s ability to recover.
By working on both personal and systemic levels, TST provides a comprehensive path to healing and resilience.
Who can benefit from TST
TST is particularly effective for individuals, especially children and adolescents, who:
• Have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or violence.
• Struggle with emotional regulation and behavioral challenges.
• Face stress or instability in their environment, such as family conflict, school challenges, or systemic issues.
• Require support not only for themselves but also within the broader systems that influence their recovery.
How TST works
TST is a multi-layered approach that integrates:
1. Regulating Emotions and Behaviors: Teaching skills to manage emotional and behavioral responses to triggers.
2. Improving Systems Support: Addressing environmental stressors and strengthening supportive systems, such as family, school, or community.
3. Strengthening Relationships: Building trust and communication within key relationships to create a stable foundation for recovery.
4. Collaborative Care: Involving caregivers, educators, and other stakeholders in the healing process to ensure a cohesive approach.
