Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) is a neurologically grounded path toward healing. It helps you understand your behaviors by reframing parts or behaviors as protective responses to trauma, especially prolonged trauma in early life. It helps change your responses to your symptoms. TIST is a model designed to help you work with symptoms of emotional overwhelm, shame, and inner conflict, and to see them as adaptive — responding to those parts with compassion rather than fear or shame.
