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.

This video module introduces TSM Safety Structures, outlining their significance in establishing a safe therapeutic environment. It covers key Safety Structures including Observing Ego, Circle of Strengths, Locograms and Spectrograms, Hands on Shoulders, Step-in Sociometry, and the Art of Integration. Participate in two transformative therapeutic sessions – an individual session with a U.S. counselor and a group session with a counselor, therapist, and a business consultant from the U.S., all led by Mario, applying TSM foundations in action.
