What is TSM?

This video course introduces Innovative Clinical Psychodrama as an effective and safe method for treating trauma and PTSD. Recent research in the neurobiology of trauma and attachment underscores the efficacy of experiential, body-based approaches in psychotherapy and education. Clinicians working with trauma aim to establish a secure and contained therapeutic environment. Action therapy plays a pivotal role but can sometimes trigger unprocessed trauma material, leading to flashbacks and decompensation. TSM, developed by Board Certified Psychodrama Trainers, Educators, and Practitioners Kate Hudgins, Ph.D., and Francesca Toscani, M.Ed., TEP, serves as a guide for trauma treatment. TSM integrates classical psychodrama, attachment theory, and insights from interpersonal neurobiology and trauma theory, enhancing safety and structure when working with trauma.

In this video module, we highlight crucial prerequisites for trauma work. The focus is on the protagonist identifying and embracing their strengths. Practical strategies are employed, guiding the protagonist through Role Reversal with Strengths, ultimately aiming for Post-Traumatic Growth. Join the transformative small group (counselor and business owner from the US) therapeutic session led by Dr Kate, putting the TSM foundations into action.
