I too am on trauma model therapy. its a therapy technique that does not limit a client and therapist on what they can and cant do. its more working on the symptoms as they arise instead of lumping a person into one direct type of therapy. it combines many kinds of therapy depending on ones own individual problems....

example I have stress problems so instead of saying ok we are going to do DBT or Emdr or what have you. my therapist and I work on many angles .....

relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, grounding techniques, cognative behavior techniques, DBT, art therapy, music therapy... and more....

in other words its more individualized, relating directly to what my problem areas are but yet has structure to it, homework and other elements too.
