BRIEF SOLUTION ORIENTED TRAUMA RESOLUTION (BSOTR)

Brief & Effective Trauma Resolution

BSOTR (Brief Solution-Oriented Trauma Resolution) is a highly sophisticated skill to extinguish body memory of trauma. It works in one-to-two sessions to extinguish somatic symptoms of trauma (flashbacks, startle reaction, nightmares), that works on virtually any and all trauma.

In traditional talk therapy, trauma is resolved by desensitizing a person to the painful events of their past.  BSOTR is different in that there is no need to retell and relive traumatic events.  With only the most basic of details, your therapist will guide you to take control of your past, heal your younger Self, and empower your current- and future Selves.

This service is currently being provided via telehealth through a secure video provider. BSOTR treatment begins with an initial 60 minute assessment to get to know you and your past and your current situation in detail.  

THERAPEUTIC TABLE TOP ROLE PLAYING GAME (RPG) GROUPS

Growth & Healing Through Imagination

Currently being provided via telehealth through a secure video provider.  There is a long and powerful tradition of utilizing role-play for healing.  Through the use of RPGs we are able to help address challenges and provide skills and practice of skills helping with anxiety / social anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms as well as processing grief and loss.  We can also target games to help practice and develop social skills as well as improving a building executive functioning skills, believed to help address oppositional and defiant disorders. 

Therapeutic RPG groups are  an effective way of working with people who may be disinterested or uncomfortable with more traditional therapy. 

Therapeutic RPGs can also be helpful in supporting Family Therapy.

Therapeutic RPG begins with a short 30 minute assessment for us to understand you and your personal history to help develop the game to be most helpful for everyone. The groups then meets for 6- 10 sessions once a week that last from between two to two and a half hours long.
