Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) Niagarawww.attchniagara.com
ATTCH Niagara specializes in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, attachment dysregulation, grief and loss, attachment-informed parenting, wellness, and the prevention of compassion fatigue. Their primary approach to treatment is the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Model (ITATM)®. ITATM is a layered / integrative model that incorporates multiple modalities and layers to regulate the body, brain and mind simultaneously. This model provides a safe structured way to work through trauma by de-potentiating the fear looping process, regulating the nervous system, and promoting integration in a manner that seems to consolidate the memory in proper space and time. It is a rich integrative approach with components of sensory processing, somatic therapy, resource installation, bilateral stimulation, sensory regulation work and cognitive reframing.
ITATM is not a talk therapy model. Research has helped us to understand that trauma and negative states decrease integration in the brain, body and nervous system whereas positive states increase integration. Brain images have demonstrated that when recalling trauma right hemisphere (centrally involved in our senses emotional felt state and embodied awareness) where as left hemisphere (centrally involved in reflection, meaning making, and also where are speech centres are) demonstrates little to no activity. This is part of why we often can't talk about what happened.
