ATTCH is pleased to be offering a live online certification series for those of you in the UK! This will be a 2 part training to break up time on the computer.
Part 1 (Clinical & Non Clinical) - November 24 & 25, 2022 Live online form: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM GMT 6:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST (both streams). Part 1 is also available pre-recorded via distance learning.

If you are ready to take your trauma skills to the next level or are seeking effective interventions to add to your trauma practice this training is for you. All too often systems treat the smoke (symptoms) rather than the fire (underlying issues). ITATM treats the fire which then has a direct impact on the smoke.

The Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) ® is an embodied model for reprocessing and reappraisal of the central details of trauma memories using a neurosequential approach layering somatic release, bilateral stimulation, visualization, resourcing and reframing in an integrative and structured manner to regulate the body, brain and mind simultaneously. This rich approach layers integrative techniques of bilateral stimulation, sensory processing, mindfulness, breathwork, cognitive reframing, toning and vocalization, movement and somatic work, visualization, resource installation and parts integration work and has been used with great success in the treatment of complex trauma.

We are pleased to be offering our ITATM training in UK time to make it more accessible. We only do this once a year! If you are in the UK and looking to unhand your trauma treatment repertoire this is the right resource for you.

The Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)® was created by Lori Gill, Founder and Clinical Director Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH).

The Integrative Trauma Treatment Model (ITATM)® helps people to depotentiate trauma experiences and help people become embodied in a safe structured way. This training is open to coaches, counsellors and mental health professionals.

Therapists around the world are learning the efficacy and power of this treatment model - and one of the best features for clients is that they DON’T NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED! We have actively been using this model at our 2 treatment centres (@ATTCH Niagara and @Lori_Gill_Psychotherapy) with great efficacy for treating complex trauma. It is a highly effective and accelerated treatment model for treating the underlying issues causing the pain, addiction, suicide ideation, high risk behaviour etc. Using the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)® we observe statistically and clinically significant reductions in suicide ideation, tension reduction behaviours (self-harm, addictions, high risk behaviours), anger, depression, anxiety, and dissociation are observed with the use of our treatment approach. These are areas that often impact daily life skills, education, employment, the ability to remain regulated, maintaining safe housing, utilization of high risk and crisis services, etc.

Results from the program evaluation of our model completed by Victoria Dobson and Dr. Paul Frewen, Western University Hospital demonstrated clinically and statistically significant changes in these areas, often with observable reductions occurring in as few as 5-6 sessions! This is not to say everyone is fully recovered at the completion of treatment as we are working with complex trauma and as such there are no easy solutions. However these are outcomes that are very realistic of a complex trauma population and demonstrate that there is benefit to the treatment being offered.

Average reductions at the time of review in high risk areas were as follows:
Depression 9.61 reduction
Suicidality 10.20 reduction
Anger 9.98 reduction
Dissociation 8.71 reduction

These are areas that often impact daily life skills, the ability to remain regulated, maintain safe housing, utilization of high risk and crisis services etc. As such any reductions in these areas demonstrates a positive shift towards a more emotionally regulated state.

If you are ready to become trauma-informed or enhance your trauma treatment this training will help you to learn an effective and efficient model for doing so. A wide variety of continuing education options are also available online and soon will be launched in a new platform (www.attchacademy.com). Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) also offers custom trauma trainings and certification to meet your agency, community, or practice needs. Join us to learn leading edge approaches to treating complex trauma and promoting post-traumatic growth. Let’s work together to heal life’s hurts and hearts!

The fields of attachment and trauma research and intervention are growing rapidly. It is apparent that this is an area all clinicians can benefit from training in as it crosses all sectors and populations in some manner. However, we know that it can be difficult to keep up with all of the readings and resources. As this is our area of specialization, let us share what we have learned through our literature and research reviews and what we have effectively put into practice with you in an engaging and practical manner. This comprehensive two-day training will provide insight into current trauma, attachment, and neuroscience research ensuring an understanding of critical information and best practice strategies for working with trauma. This training will also help you to enhance your clinical skills and learn how you can add trauma regulation and attachment healing strategies to your repertoire.

Day 2 will focus on putting it into practice. Through this Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM) participants will learn how to make historical connections, engage in integrative trauma-specific treatment approaches, and promote resiliency and wellness.

What People are saying about our certification and conference events:

Kevin K This was a fantastic course. I've long been a critic of trauma-informed practice because there's usually little that's trauma-informed about it, i.e., patients would be admitted to the addictions facility with PTSD or BPD or CSA on the chart and little attention was paid to it that directed care, never mind a more integrated response. I felt (and still feel) I am breaking the rules by introducing trauma specific work, but nevertheless got approval to run a group for Adverse Childhood Experiences. As a music therapist this course validated the use of music and the arts while containing and exploring trauma. Numerous clients were referred and numerous self-referred (ideal). Lori's course speaks to the value of treating the root causes of mental health and addictions issues. Clients are saying they love the group. This changed my approach because Lori advised that often you need to get in there right away, and since adopting that viewpoint it's made such a difference when I begin working with clients shortly after admission rather than waiting until they are "stabilized". Having a serious history of trauma myself, I've often felt like facilities are afraid of trauma - in fact, most of them call it trauma though that term means many kinds of events - they say trauma when they mean childhood sexual abuse. This course has set me on a path of doing more depth work, toward training other staff on trauma and recovery, and doing research on ACE. I can't thank you enough for this inspiring and forward-thinking approach.

Danielle Alexandria, Toronto, Ontario: "I’m currently completing my certified trauma integration practitioner training through ATTCH. Lori Gill, the director, is an incredibly gifted teacher. Her knowledge, intelligence, integrity, and compassion make her a rare and very bright light in the industry. I have been blown away by what I’ve learned! If you’re interested in learning the latest and most effective trauma therapies, I recommend their courses and programs without hesitation!”

Carol Cowan, St. Catharines, Ontario - The Trauma and Attachment Certification provided by Lori Gill is essential to any practitioner in the field today. The solid foundation and framework provided in the certification is fundamental to understanding many of our clients struggles in their lives today. The certification also provides great tools and techniques that can be used with our clients to provide the profound levels of healing that are required. The conference itself is also a wonderful opportunity to network with other professionals in the field. I look forward to the conference every year and have used the skills and knowledge gained almost daily in my social work practice.

Jennifer Bolt Bauline, NL - Very informative, excellent take away and a wonderful presenter.

Shannon Vanderveen, St.Anns - Really grateful for this learning opportunity, networking with others and taking time to grow as a young student! Thank you!!!

Valerien Lannan, Placentio NL - What an amazing week. I have learned so much for both myself and the children + youth i serve. i am very grateful for this experience. Thank you!

Seema Sharma, Ontario - Thank you so much for your warm and engaging presence and sharing your expansive knowledge with us. This training has been amazing, I have learned so much as a practitioner and about myself. This lens has truly shifted the way i understand those I serve and hope to support. It feels so right. Thank you so much for the opportunity to do the live demo. It was so experiential and different than I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for creating a space and presence to make me feel comfortable enough to try and engage in it. All the best.

Christine - Attended the 5 day trauma and attachment certification training and truly loved every minute. the information and psycho education was very helpful and the live demos of clinical process and experiential/role play was extremely powerful and helpful in integrating the new information and trauma processing. Thank you again Lori and the ATTCH team, Sue, and Lisa. A very healing and inspiring experience.

Debbie S I felt this training was so valuable. The information presented was informative and rich in understanding trauma and useful for everyone. Lori shares the information in a very comprehensible way. Learning about the ITATM was wonderful. The approach combines many useful approaches in a simple and easy to apply way. I am leaving this training feeling confident given the instruction, pace and support I was offered throughout the workshop. I highly recommend this training to any clinician who wants to further their knowledge and skills surrounding trauma or learning an empowering approach in supporting a client in processing past triggers. Thank you Lori!

General comments from some of our conference evaluations:

“Looking forward to tomorrow.”

“Doing the role-play was eye-opening and fast.”

“An incredibly valuable learning experience. Each session with Lori I leave with extended resources, practice, and theoretical knowledge."

It was most valuable first to observe the live demonstration by the presenter. It was powerful to be present as the volunteer processed her experience. It was equally as powerful to get to practice the treatment model with another attendee. Thanks Lori!

Excellent balance between information sharing about the model and its application and experiential opportunities for participants. Lori's presentation and engagement with the participants. I found her asking participants to challenge our beliefs that may hinder or help clients with moving through their trauma. This invitation really made me reflect on the question, how is what I believe as helping professional helping or hindering the client. I'm still process the training, so I will need ot further reflect on this training before I join in for the final 2 days.

The demos (recorded and live) are a valuable aspect of the presentation. It is helpful and informative to watch the processing unfold. I appreciate having the opportunity to practice processing as well.

I was happy to volunteer and was glad I got to work on that specific trauma.
I appreciate these sessions.

I am glad that it is short yet packed with value. That I do not need years and years of training to start impacting peoples lives.
Participating in the processing as well as practicing the script was helpful.
It was beneficial doing this virtually bc this is how my agency is practicing at this time.

Role play and debrief with my partner after processing. Knowing how each other felt was helpful to dismiss any areas where I felt I wasn't doing things correctly, and increase confidence.
