TIST Training
Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) is a phase-oriented, comprehensive therapy. The process involves three stages: stabilization, memory processing, and personality/somatic integration. The model honors the client’s felt and cognitive sense of readiness and consent.
The complete TIST training includes three levels covering trauma-informed care, advanced therapeutic techniques, and personality integration. Each level builds upon the previous one to create a comprehensive understanding.
