Trauma Regulation & Integration Process
What is the T.R.I.P. Method?
The T.R.I.P. Method, developed by Monique Hoving-Smeets, is an integrative approach designed to help individuals feel more internally connected and less torn between conflicting emotions, thoughts, and responses. This method aims to increase awareness of how past trauma continues to affect a person visually, physically, emotionally, cognitively, and relationally. By accessing both the brain and body in unique ways, T.R.I.P. facilitates a deeper understanding of trauma’s impact.
Key Processes of the T.R.I.P. Method
1) Projection Process:
This process emphasizes how each eye, brain, and body response is unique and demonstrates the lingering effects of past trauma on present functioning. As healing progresses, the intensity of past projections onto present experiences decreases, allowing individuals to perceive the external world more accurately. It fosters a clearer understanding of boundaries, safety, dissociation, and their relationship with the nervous system.
2) Permission Process:
Trauma often involves experiences where our autonomy—our ability to say “yes” or “no”—was compromised. While some parts of us may have learned to express our needs in the present, other parts remain stuck in the original trauma. T.R.I.P. utilizes eye-brain methods to ensure that all parts of us understand consent and establish clear requirements before diving into trauma work. This step ensures a safe and clear process for addressing trauma.
3) Compassion Process:
Survival and coping mechanisms often develop as a means of pushing forward and avoiding past traumas. However, even when the immediate danger has passed, these mechanisms can persist, preventing us from addressing our emotional and psychological needs. Trauma can also be stored in the body, manifesting as pain, tension, or unexpressed movements. The compassion process within T.R.I.P. promotes reconnection with the self and fosters self-compassion, reducing harsh self-criticism. It helps identify and alleviate somatic responses, teaching the brain and body that past traumas are no longer present threats.
How T.R.I.P. WorksThe T.R.I.P. Method integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques, including:
- Eye-brain techniques
- Emotional validation and regulation
- Somatic therapy
- Psychoeducation on attachment and trauma
This holistic approach recognizes that trauma affects different parts of the brain and body, supporting individuals in their journey toward healing and integration.
