We’re deeply moved by this participant’s reflection. This highlights the transformative impact of the trauma-specialized work we do at ATTCH Inc. Healing through connection, insight, and compassionate care can open the door to true rest and renewal.

I use the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM® by Lori Gill, Trauma & Attachment Specialist, Trainer, Consultant & Supervisor from Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing ) as the base for my work. Alongside this, I bring in EMDR , but rather than using EMDR in a traditional, stand-alone way, I weave it into the ITATM® approach. I also draw on elements of Parnell’s Attachment-Focused EMDR, which places special emphasis on the healing power of safe, supportive relationships. This is great when working with complex trauma rooted in childhood or dysfunctional relationships, rather than a single event trauma.

The goal is not only to reduce the impact of trauma, but also to strengthen your sense of self, safety, and resilience in everyday life.

Here is an excellent review by a client who had traditional EMDR in the past with another therapist, and went on to our Specialist Integrative Trauma Therapy.

Highlighting Our Latest Training Success: Understanding and Responding to the Neurobiology of Trauma

Last Friday, ATTCH Niagara hosted the Ontario Corps Partners Training: Understanding and Responding to the Neurobiology of Trauma and Extreme States of Stress In Emergency and Disaster Response, a powerful event bringing together professionals and volunteers dedicated to supporting Ontario in times of crisis.

Thanks to funding from the Government of Ontario, this interactive session was provided at no cost, equipping participants with practical tools to understand trauma’s impact on the brain and body, and delivering strategies for trauma-informed care in emergency and disaster situations. Led by Lori Gill, the training introduced the Integrative Trauma and Attachment Treatment Model (ITATM)®, helping attendees gain foundational skills and knowledge essential for future certification.

We're honoured to provide this life-changing content through ATTCH Niagara, with the course platform offered courtesy of ATTCH Inc. Participant feedback means everything—check out some of the testimonials in the image below!

As therapists, our work requires deep presence, compassion, and continual learning.

Remember that healing trauma is a process of guiding clients safely through their nervous system’s signals—helping them stay within their window of tolerance while gently expanding resilience.

Taking care of your own nervous system through mindful breath and self-compassion enhances your ability to hold space for others. You are making a profound difference every day.

…Or perhaps due to hypoarousal due to the trauma, exploitation and lack of human connection that is occurring at an alarming rate? Curious of your thoughts 💭

Self-protection, a rejection of positivity, or a cultural message?

Congratulations to the therapists who completed our ITATM Adaptations for Emergency and Crisis Situations training. This training focused on adaptations to the ITATM protocol for preparing for and responding to emergency, disaster and crisis situations.

We are in the process of rolling out trainings across Ontario to help emergency response professionals become trauma informed and to build capacity for trauma intervention with counsellors working in emergency response.

Are you interested in crisis and emergency response training? If contact us to see if there is space for you to join the training session in your area. Details can be found at www.attchniagara.com under upcoming trainings.

We invite you to complete the adapted ITATM protocol for emergency, disaster, and crisis response situations in our free, one-day training and to join the roster of therapists available for deployment through Ontario Corps (https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-corps). Being prepared to respond effectively in times of crisis is vital for therapists committed to trauma-informed care.
