The Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) is a somatic approach that incorporates sensory and mindfulness tools to help regulate the nervous system in states of fight, flight, or freeze. TRM is based on the belief that we all possess inherent resilience and we have the capacity to restore balance within our minds and bodies after traumatic experiences.

The Resilient Zone is an internal guide that illustrates if we are in the high zone (angry, stressed, irritable, edgy, or anxiety), low zone (sad, lonely, exhausted, tired, or disconnected), or are we operating in the middle. The goal is to widen our resilience zone and ultimately use the TRM skills to bring us back into alignment aka away from the high and/or low zone.

TRM involves using nine skills. The first six skills are used in the session and can also be used outside of the session. The last three skills are only used in the session to reprocess traumatic memories through the guidance of a therapist. During a session, the therapist invites the client to shift from the traumatic memory to TRM skills that include tracking sensations within the body, a resource, or grounding to allow the nervous system to gently come back into alignment.
