Based on neuroscientific research, the Trauma Resiliency Model teaches you skills to regulate your own nervous system, empowering you to face your trauma in a new and powerful way.
Using practical skills and somatic therapy techniques, the Trauma Resiliency Model helps you re-establish a sense of safety in your own body, restoring a sense of peace and vitality.
Using TRM, our therapists will help you develop greater resiliency and restore balance in your body and mind after traumatic experiences by walking you through the steps you can take to rebalance your nervous system and feel like yourself again.
When we begin to understand that our trauma symptoms are normal, that is, they are natural biological responses to traumatic events, there is a paradigm shift in which we begin to understand there was nothing wrong in the first place.
When we learn that our symptoms are natural and biological, we no longer have to view ourselves as “weak” when we’re suffering (which just adds insult to injury.)
Normalizing traumatic symptoms allows us to move away from self-blame and shame and towards healing.
The Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) is an innovative therapeutic approach to trauma that addresses the physical response traumatic events.
TRM is a holistic, body-based approach that can be used independently or in addition to other types of therapies.
As a type of somatic therapy, TRM uses the body’s senses to build healthier pathways within our muscle memory, working with our natural reflexes, not against them.
TRM focuses on the biological and neurological causes of trauma, and the uncontrolled, reflexive defense mechanisms that the human body responds with when faced with triggers and perceived harm.
This includes fight or flight responses, freezing up, and other things the body may do to protect itself from harm.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
The Trauma Resiliency Model consists of nine skills that use sensory awareness for emotional regulation and trauma integration including:
At My LA Therapy, we understand that trauma symptoms are simply the body’s attempt to re-establish equilibrium within the nervous system.
In other words, it’s not your fault.
Using TRM, we will provide you with the skills to re-calibrate your nervous system to become more aware of your body’s internal state, restoring a sense of safety and vitality.
The best part is, these skills are really easy to implement into your everyday routine, even outside of your therapy sessions.
In addition, we will use TRM to help you challenge harmful beliefs that may be causing a negative impact on your life, or may be holding you back from the life you want to create and who you want to be.
At My LA Therapy, we are trained in the Trauma Resiliency Model and many other empirically proven trauma interventions and we are ready to help you create a customized treatment plan.
We will work with you at a pace that is comfortable for you, drawing on the latest research to help you with your specific needs and integrating other methods as needed to help optimize your care and accelerate your healing.
Working together to increase your trauma resiliency will allow you to feel empowered to face your trauma in a new and effective way so you can restore peace, discover greater freedom, and get your life back.
TRM is scientifically proven to reduce depression, anxiety, and hostility symptoms, as well as improve stabilization of the nervous system.
The skills taught within TRM can be practiced by people of all ages, in response to all types of trauma.
TRM is beneficial for any person who has experienced or witnessed an event that was perceived as life threatening or posed a serious injury to themselves or others.
It has been designed as both a trauma reprocessing treatment model as well as a self-care model.
At My LA Therapy, our TRM therapists use the latest research and methods in order to help you reach your highest potential.
Therapy can successfully improve your life by helping you minimize your anxiety, identifying and changing underlying thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to your struggles, and providing you with strategies to decrease discomfort while restoring an overall sense of peace.
To experience true and lasting joy in our life, we must face and conquer our pain by healing our underlying trauma and confronting our fears.
TRM is an evidence-based, scientifically-proven intervention that has been demonstrated by research to be effective in addressing a wide range of mental health conditions including trauma, anxiety, depression, and other related disorders.

I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂
