Multi-Sensory Trauma Processing (MTP)

Multi-sensory Trauma Processing is a treatment technique created by Dr. Davis to treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), partial PTSD, job-related trauma, complicated PTSD and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue.  MTP helps to process traumatic memories and flashbacks (move a traumatic memory which is stuck in present memory to past memory) and to reduce or eliminate symptoms, such as problems in sleeping and concentrating.   MTP can be used as a stand-alone technique or included as part of short-term or long-term therapy.  MTP is designed with protocols that can be used by therapists of varying experience and skills.

“The psychotherapist can help a client “in the mastery of trauma through putting the experience into symbolic communicable form, such as words, thoughts and feelings” (van der Kolk, 1995).
