The Trauma Resiliency Model™ (TRM®) is a body-based, neuroscience-informed approach to understanding and treating trauma, developed by the Trauma Resource Institute (TRI). It focuses on teaching individuals—both professionals and clients—practical skills for nervous system regulation by helping them become aware of their internal sensations and restore balance after stressful or traumatic experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy models, TRM® emphasises the biological and somatic impact of trauma, offering tools to track bodily responses and gently guide the nervous system back into a state of resilience and safety. It is especially effective for individuals who struggle with trauma symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation, or dissociation.
We have integrated TRM® into this course because it complements counselling work by equipping professionals with accessible, non-verbal tools that can be used across a wide range of clients, including those who may not yet have the words to describe their trauma.
It aligns with Humanitas’ commitment to holistic, ethical, and evidence-based practice, and allows practitioners to support healing not only through conversation but also through the body—where trauma is often held.
