"I have done EMDR, DBT, IFS, CBT and Somatic Experiencing. I truly love all of them and have benefited in some ways from all of them. What I love about this training is that it is the first one that the training showed how the interventions addressed the different symptoms clusters of PTSD.

I truly enjoyed all the videos. They are straight to the point, focused on the topic at hand, lead to experiential learning, and a test of our knowledge."

Alpha Marcella Gunn, MA, LPC

Assessments 102

$147 Special Offer $79

We all want to know if what we do in therapy is really doing the job. It is not enough to take a person’s word that he or she feels better after treatment. To show the actual response, we need to measure symptoms before and after treatment. The effects of therapy should outlast the individual sessions.

ITR is a measurement-based protocol and we have assessments we recommend for adults. They are simple to use and are very effective in understanding where your client is when they start with you and how they progress along the way. 

Assessments to determine stability and readiness for treatment, severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms and event specific post-traumatic symptoms:

• Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II), 
• Dissociative Regression Scale (DRS)
• Symptom Checklist 45 (SCL-45)
• Trauma Recovery Scale (TRS)
• PTSD Checklist 5 (PCL-5)
• Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS)
• Impact of Events Scale (IES)
