I appreciated the video course because I could pause as often as needed and go back to anything I wasn't sure I understood well.

I really enjoyed the way it was put together. I felt it was creative, active, engaging and incredibly informative. Well done.

Melisa Baker, AT, ITR-CTS

There is no better method out there. This is the only one I will ever use. It’s the only one that has such powerful, lasting results and so quickly.

Why This Training Is Different

The most effective way to learn ITR is to experience it yourself.

Rather than simply studying concepts, you will actively apply the process to your own work while receiving guidance from an experienced ITR® trainer. This experiential approach helps participants understand not only what to do, but why the process works for complex trauma.

Many participants describe this as one of the most valuable learning experiences in their professional development.

What Participants Are Saying

I am leaving the course with deeper knowledge, greater confidence, and practical tools that will benefit both my clinical work and my teaching. I am very grateful for such an incredibly valuable experience and the knowledge."

"This is a great way to learn how to guide someone through the ITR process by doing your own, and it shows how it can be done at a quicker pace."

"Powerful course full of valuable tools to work with traumatic experience. Thank you for sharing this important knowledge!"

"This course was informative and well-structured. Every tool was very well explained, and it helped me understand each step of the process better. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!"

Adult

Assessments 102

$147 

We all want to know if what we do in therapy is really doing the job. It is not enough to take a person’s word that he or she feels better after treatment. To show the actual response, we need to measure symptoms before and after treatment. The effects of therapy should outlast the individual sessions.

ITR is a measurement-based protocol and we have assessments we recommend for adults. They are simple to use and are very effective in understanding where your client is when they start with you and how they progress along the way. 

Assessments to determine stability and readiness for treatment, severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms and event specific post-traumatic symptoms:

• Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II), 
• Dissociative Regression Scale (DRS)
• Symptom Checklist 45 (SCL-45)
• Trauma Recovery Scale (TRS)
• PTSD Checklist 5 (PCL-5)
• Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS)
• Impact of Events Scale (IES)

 1.5 CEs NBCC and WV BSW

"These assessment courses are suitable for every type of therapist/coach/educator. These are stand alone courses and should be on every site you can get them on - and with CEs? Amazing"

Alexandria Zettler PhD, ATR-BC

"Assessments are so powerful. My clients love to see their progress and I can measure how the work is going. Assessments should be mandatory in the mental health field. We all need to be measurement-based! It is so encouraging for everybody."

Danni Davis, LCSW-C, ITR-CT
