What is TSM?

This video course introduces Innovative Clinical Psychodrama as an effective and safe method for treating trauma and PTSD. Recent research in the neurobiology of trauma and attachment underscores the efficacy of experiential, body-based approaches in psychotherapy and education. Clinicians working with trauma aim to establish a secure and contained therapeutic environment. Action therapy plays a pivotal role but can sometimes trigger unprocessed trauma material, leading to flashbacks and decompensation. TSM, developed by Board Certified Psychodrama Trainers, Educators, and Practitioners Kate Hudgins, Ph.D., and Francesca Toscani, M.Ed., TEP, serves as a guide for trauma treatment. TSM integrates classical psychodrama, attachment theory, and insights from interpersonal neurobiology and trauma theory, enhancing safety and structure when working with trauma.

As Zerka Moreno eloquently put it, Doubling lies at the core of TSM's transformative power. When your clients face roadblocks, feel overwhelmed, or become stuck, Doubling becomes your compass to guide them forward. This module presents the TSM's Doubling technique, which is transcending traditional talk therapy. It demonstrates Doubling techniques: Body Double, Classical Double, Containing Double, Triple Double, Doubling in trauma work, along with  safety considerations, intuition, prescriptive roles, and the insights of neurobiology. Join the transformative individual therapeutic session of the counselor from the US led by Linda, putting the TSM foundations into action.
