From Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Effective — in Five Hours.

If you're carrying the weight of helping people recover from trauma, this is the foundation course. Instinctual Trauma Response® (ITR®) has helped clinicians and paraprofessionals get their clients unstuck — faster and more lasting — for over 40 years, developed by psychiatrist Dr. Louis Tinnin and art therapist Dr. Linda Gantt.

This course is the introduction and prerequisite to every other ITR training.

• Understand trauma's neurobiology — how the brain and body actually respond to overwhelming events
• Recognize trauma triggers and fixed states before they escalate
• Learn the Trauma Timeline and get an introduction to the Graphic Narrative®
• Get introduced to Externalized Dialogue® and parts work, and why it's effective for complex trauma
• Understand victim mythology and how it keeps clients stuck
• Receive the Digital ITR® Workbook (English and Spanish) and Psychoeducation Cards
• Earn 5 Continuing Education Credits, approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors and the WV Board of Social Work

The ATC 101 is essential for mental health practitioners, first responders, child advocacy workers, educators, parents, and all support roles. No clinical background required.
