Regardless of our training backgrounds, coming to an understanding of the profound neurobiological changes in affect, memory, self image, and our relational capacity that occur when we are traumatized is of extreme importance in applying our various skills to help our client to heal. Our basic capacity to process information and regulate affect is profoundly impacted by a traumatic experience.

NTR will help develop the skills needed to stabilize and regulate affect (including our own) and to witness and assist our patients in re-experiencing traumatic memory without re-traumatization. It also helps us to resolve unproductive levels of dissociation and shame that make up the core of a traumatic experience.

NTR, while incorporating aspects of Ericksonian Hypnosis, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, and Sensori-motor Therapy, uses a flexible protocol. NTR incorporates the many levels and planes of reality that must be reprocessed in order to achieve a more complete healing and integration of a traumatic situation. It is cross-cultural since it is less culturally bound by rigid perspectives, and it is thus more respectful of each individual´s specific background than other forms of treatment. NTR-trained practitioners learn to use the protocol rather than have the protocol use them. Come and hear more about this new and effective modality.

About the presenter

A psychoanalyst in practice for 42 years, author of "Ericksonian Hypnosis: Strategies for Effective Communication," hypnotherapist, expert for post-traumatic stress and interfaith minister, Mr. Stephen Paul Adler, Ph. D., has worked with populations suffering the effects of trauma in Mexico and Central America since the mid-1990's. While doing that work, Dr. Adler recognized the acute need for a focused training effort as a way to enable the people who work with these badly under-served groups to provide effective help. He created the first program offering such training in 1996. Dr. Adler founded the Global Institute for Trauma Resolution in 2006 and in 2009 the Act Institute in Mexico in order to offer his training programs on a larger scale.

Dr. Adler divides his time between Cuernavaca, Mexico, and New York City, and teaches at the Federal University, Sao Paolo, Brazil, and the Gestalt Center for Psychotherapy and Training in New York City. He has a private practice in New York City and offers various forms of psychotherapy such as psychoanalytic psychotherapy, gestalt, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, or Satir family therapy.
