Road Trip Trauma Therapy

Abstract

RTTT is mindful of generational, developmental, and experiential trauma that can overwhelm the nervous system.
An additional element of trauma is its impact on time. This can be borne out as difficulty in past, present, and future in various ways.
RTTT is a therapeutic model that uses the metaphor of a road trip to give thought and language to past, present, and future as well as occasions of all three co-occurring.
