TIRM — Trauma-Informed Relational Model
Most couples therapy teaches communication tools.
TIRM changes the entire system.
Our Trauma-Informed Relational Model reframes conflict, intimacy, and emotional patterns through Dynamic Psychosocialsomatic Psychotherapy (DPP) and systems biology, offering a deeper, more accurate understanding of how relationships actually function.

💠 Why TIRM Is Different
Most therapy treats conflict as the problem.
TIRM treats conflict as information.
Conflict shows the couple’s:
• nervous system states
• early attachment patterns
• maladaptive attractor dynamics
✨ Conflict isn’t failure — it’s a system trying to reorganise.
✨ Repair is biology — not a communication skill.
✨ The relationship itself becomes the therapy.
This is the future of treating relational trauma:
work with the system, not against it.

🧠 The Science Behind TIRM
TIRM integrates:
• Affect Regulation Theory — partners regulate each other’s emotional states
• Systems Biology & Attractors — conflict reveals system organisation
• Object Relations — internal templates reorganise through live corrective experience
• DPP — biology, emotion, identity & behaviour unified into one model
Your relationship is seen as a living adaptive system capable of coherence, repair, and transformation.

💞 What Couples Learn in TIRM
• Map nervous system interactions
• See reenactment cycles without blame
• Build emotional capacity and regulation
• Shift out of rigid or chaotic attractor states
• Strengthen synchrony, repair, and co-regulation
• Restore polarity, connection, and direction
• Turn conflict into intimacy and integration
This isn’t conflict management.
It’s relational reorganisation.

🌿 A Relationship That Heals You
TIRM turns your relationship into a regulatory ecosystem:
a space where trauma patterns are understood, safety returns, and new relational behaviours emerge naturally through synchrony and repair.
This is how relational trauma actually heals.
