• What is the TRM Protocol?

    The Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol is a gentle, non-invasive therapeutic approach designed to help individuals reduce or eliminate symptoms related to trauma, such as nightmares, flashbacks, and intense emotional distress. It’s particularly effective for those experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other trauma-related conditions.

How Does RTM Work?

RTM does not require you to relive or retell the details of your trauma. Instead, it uses imagery and memory reconsolidation techniques to safely reprocess how traumatic memories are stored in the brain. Most clients report significant relief in just a few sessions.

Key Benefits:

  • No exposure or re-traumatization

  • Fast-acting (often 3–sessions)

  • Can help with sleep, anxiety, and emotional reactivity

If you’ve been feeling stuck in the aftermath of a traumatic event and are looking for a safe, effective path forward, RTM may be a good fit for you. A brief consultation can help determine if this protocol aligns with your needs and goals.

Who Can Benefit from RTM?

The RTM Protocol is ideal for individuals struggling with:

  • PTSD or trauma-related symptoms
    (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance)

  • Anxiety related to past events

  • Phobias or intense fears linked to specific experiences

  • First responders, veterans, survivors of violence or accidents

  • Anyone who avoids triggers due to past trauma

Because RTM does not require retelling the traumatic story, it's especially helpful for those who feel overwhelmed by traditional talk therapy or have found it difficult to discuss their trauma in detail.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or haunted by past experiences, RTM offers a safe, structured path toward relief.

What to Expect in a RTM Session

RTM sessions are structured, calm, and focused on helping you feel safe and in control. Here's what you can expect:

  • No need to relive or retell your trauma
    You will not be asked to go into graphic detail or emotionally re-experience painful memories.

  • Guided visualization
    Your therapist will walk you through a series of gentle mental imagery exercises designed to help your brain reprocess how the traumatic memory is stored.

  • Short-term protocol
    Most clients see significant relief within 3–5 sessions, each lasting around 60–90 minutes.

  • Comfortable pace
    You’ll move through the process at a speed that feels right for you, with the therapist checking in regularly to ensure you feel grounded and supported.

RTM is different from traditional talk therapy. It focuses on helping your nervous system let go of the emotional charge tied to the memory—without erasing the memory itself.
