TCTSY @ The Base Health
Offering Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga
You are likely here because your clinician @The Base Health has suggested that you may want to consider a body based intervention along side your existing talk based therapy.
People may have suggested that you try yoga before, however, TCTSY is not another “type” of yoga.
Just like EMDR, IFS, CBT, or other interventions, TCTSY is a scientifically-validated care model provided by trained facilitators.
Originally developed by the Justice Resource Institute’s Trauma Center in Brookline, Massachusetts it has origins in;
trauma theory, attachment theory, neuroscience & hatha yoga
Through TCTSY, you will be invite to
reconnect with your body,
rebuild your inner sense of safety,
and reclaim your power,
one step at a time.
Here is a video of the founders of TCTSY explaining a bit more about it….
THERE ARE 4 CORE PILLARS OF A TCTSY SESSION
Practice choice making
Experience interoception - an invitation to noticing what’s happening within
Practice being in the present moment
Experience taking effective action - action that feels aligned to you
If you have any questions about TCTSY there is more information below, plus there is also the option to book a free meet and greet session if you have any specific questions prior to booking.

The practice has played a significant role in allowing me to feel calmer more often and better able to make decisions and be more independent in my daily life.
