Dr. Gantt on ITR: World Art Therapy Conference 

Dr. Linda Gantt gives an introduction to one of her life-long works: Instinctual Trauma Response. ITR is a revolutionary approach to healing trauma developed by Dr. Gantt and her late husband, psychiatrist, Dr. Louis Tinnin. 

I love ITR. I think it will revolutionize mental health and trauma treatment. I think everyone should be trained in the ITR model. It’s effective. it’s quick, but most of all it reduces trauma symptoms and that’s what we want, these children and these adults to have healthy, happy lives."
