Heal trauma at the source.

What is ITR?

Intensive Trauma Response, referred to as ITR, is a structured, non-invasive and evidence-informed therapy method designed to resolve trauma at its roots. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. Louis Tinnin and art therapist Dr. Linda Gantt, ITR is based on neuroscience, parts psychology, narrative therapy, art therapy and somatic approaches.

The central premise of ITR is that trauma is stored as fragmented, sensory-rich experiences causing symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, dissociation and hypervigilance. These symptoms persist until the trauma is fully finished, time-stamped and reconsolidated into long-term memory. ITR resolves and completes traumatic memory, rather than just managing symptoms.

Who ITR benefits most

• Individuals with fragmented or preverbal trauma not easily accessed through talk therapy
• Anyone seeking a gentle yet effective method — minimal re-traumatization
• Those wanting structured protocols to actively finish trauma stories
• Those with a strong interest in self-leadership, self-awareness and integration
