The following exercises are taken from Relationship Trauma Repair. RTR is a multisensory, experiential, and relational model for treating PTSD that was designed by the author. RTR offers a cohesive progression for treating PTSD and relationship trauma issues within the context of a treatment center, outpatient clinic, or private practice. The exercises are based on an integration of sociometry and current research on subject areas being explored in each unit They may be used with or without psychodrama, depending on the level of training of the clinician using the model. Exercises are a hybrid developed by Dr. Dayton in response to a need within the addiction field for user-friendly approaches to experiential work that are both safe and effective, and that honor the field’s longtime tradition of a psychoeducational approach to treatment. The model is composed of four parts: two books, a DVD, and a CD.
