Advanced Trauma Intervention & Processing for Clinicians Using The Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)™ – Training for Indigenous Communities
January 18-22, 2027
This five-day, advanced online training is designed specifically for therapists, counsellors, and clinical professionals who would like to provide trauma-specialized therapy using a step-by-step protocol. Therapists should be in a role that allows 1 hour sessions with individual clients. This course delivers a comprehensive, clinically focused exploration and application of understanding the neurobiology of trauma and trauma-Informed emergency and disaster response and trauma processing and intervention using the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)™. Participants must be able to attend the training in full in order to attend.
The training is grounded in the latest research and is structured to address the real-world complexities clinicians face when supporting individuals and communities in the aftermath of crisis, disaster, or acute trauma. Trauma processing using ITATM™ can be used in a single session, brief, or ongoing format.

Who Should Attend
This session is intended for therapists, counsellors, and clinical staff working in non-profit community based and government funded mental health and addictions organizations. Unfortunately we are not able to offer registration to therapists working in private practice.
It is ideal for those providing emergency and crisis intervention support, post-incident support, or those who wish to provide this support and those providing ongoing therapy to individuals impacted
by trauma, and who wish to enhance their clinical toolkit with an advanced, trauma-specialized processing model
What You’ll Learn

Learn how to use and apply the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)™ protocol, a step-by-step protocol for processing trauma in a safe, structured, and neurosequential way.
Learn how to adapt the ITATM protocol in response to emergencies, disasters, and extreme states of stress to effectively process trauma and acute crises. This approach can also be used to provide post-incident care, including brief therapy and ongoing treatment.
Learn to assess and address dissociation, tonic immobility, and shutdown responses. Learn the various layers of the ITATM protocol, which integrates somatic therapy, sensory approaches, and neurobiological techniques specific to how the brain is impacted by trauma. Participants will be introduced to bilateral stimulation, sensory and somatic modulation, and reframing to support nervous system regulation and consolidation of the trauma memory.
Develop strategies for trauma-informed interviewing and supporting clients through acute stress reactions.
Build clinical confidence in managing challenging trauma responses and supporting resilience in clients and communities.

About ITATM™
Developed by Lori Gill, the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)™ is a neurosequential, evidence-based approach that combines evidence based techniques such as drawing, somatic therapy, visualization, resource installation cognitive-behavioural techniques, and bilateral stimulation in an efficient step-by-step protocol.
ITATM™ allows clinicians to address trauma without requiring clients to recount distressing memories, supporting regulation and healing at every stage of recovery. The model is adaptable for use in single incident, acute crisis, post-incident, and ongoing therapeutic contexts, and is recognized for its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of suicidality, self-harm, addiction, anxiety, and depression.
