TR6 Trauma Model™Descent into the Shadow

About the paper

Deirdre Rolfe offers a novel framework that maps trauma as a universal human process rather than a pathological state. The TR6 Trauma Model™ studies the adaptive and maladaptive pathways through which individuals respond to trauma, adversity, and profound life disruption — and suggests it can be moved through in a series of defined stages.
