Transforming the Trauma Triangle:
Training and Personal Growth for Clinicians & Trauma Survivors
With Sylvia Israel

IMAGINE! Center for Creativity and Healing

Therapeutic Spiral International’s training and personal growth workshop brings to life the Therapeutic Spiral Model’s (TSM) unique “Trauma Triangle,” making clear the vicious cycle of victim, perpetrator, and abandoning authority. This Triangle is a closed circuit of energy and is embedded in the personality structure of those who have survived abuse or trauma, repeating itself as life-long trauma patterns. TSM training provides tools that empower you, and if applicable, those you work with—transforming neglect of self to self-care and healthy problem-solving in daily life.  As a participant, you will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the internalized personality structure of PTSD.
• Learn to integrate TSM’s Prescriptive Roles & Safety Structures.
• Experience the power and depth of a TSM group process that is used across cultures.

This workshop is open to anyone with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), those working with PTSD, as a stand-alone course, or as one of the foundation courses for Level One of International Certification Program in Trauma Therapy.
