WHAT IS TCTSY?
TCTSY is an evidence-based adjunctive treatment for complex trauma and complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and is the only yoga-based practice endorsed by SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in the USA). TCTSY was developed in collaboration with the Trauma Center Boston beginning in 2003 and is the foundational program of the Center for Trauma and Embodiment within the Justice Resource Institute. TCTSY is utilised with children, youth, and adults throughout the US and in dozens of countries around the world. This weekend training qualifies as the prerequisite for the 300-hour Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga certification program.
