Advanced T.R.I.P. Modules
After acquiring the fundamental skills and theories for the Projection, Permission, and Compassion process, the therapist can use the integrative skill set to delve deeper into their learning. These advanced modules expand the application of these skills and deepen the knowledge and clinical skills to work regarding very specific presenting concerns or contexts.
All advanced modules require the Core Foundational training as a pre-requisite! All training, except the nervous system regulation exercise, needs to be attended live. No recordings are being made of the training modules. Each training offers access to the online learning platform with relevant resources, live demonstrations, and video recordings of clients experiencing TRIP within the specific application. All training modules are highly interactive and provide relevant learning activities.
Please note that all TRIP training offers powerful trauma-processing experiences, which may be activating for the participating therapists. It is highly recommended to ensure you have (therapeutic) support during the training.

- Working with Couples ( 2-day training)
- Driving-related anxiety & Phobias (2-day training)
- Nervous system regulation exercise (Self-paced and self-guided, available for purchase)
Somatic Symptoms, Parts & Eye Movements
Uncover the profound link between persistent psychosomaticpresentations and specific trauma & attachment experiences linked todifferent Parts of ourselves, connected differently to each eye. Explore how TRIP identifies and processes how the body becomes thevoice for communicating needs connected to wounds of the past. Differentiate the four categories of wounding underneath the(chronic) psychosomatic symptoms, such as buried secrets,unprocessed trauma emotions, unresolved attachment dynamic orsomatic flashbacks Observe and identify specific eye indicators that directly relate to theunprocessed trauma material and utilize the application of specificeye movement skills. These techniques encompass 'tracking' todiscern eye indicators, along with the application of 'Calm & TraumaTrails'—particular types of eye movements tailored to specificindicators—for the purpose of regulating and integratingpsychosomatic intensity
Working with Couples
Recognize how past trauma and childhood attachmentdynamics influence adult attachment patterns. UtilizeTRIP’s projection process between partners to identify how past wounds are projected onto the current relationships, creating entrenched patterns that seem hard to resolve. Navigate TRIP’s permission process withthe Processing Partner & facilitate the Compassionprocess, focusing on the chosen trauma reminder,between the Processing and Participating partner. Utilize TRIP to help the brain, body, eyes and mind to accurately discern safety and threat in their current relationship and help rebuild healthy attachment between the two partners.
Driving Related Anxiety& Phobias
Utilize TRIP’s 3 core processes combined with gradual and gentle incrementing reminders or images to highly regulate activation. Strategically implement the projection process, working with distance and proximity with these reminders or images to additionally titrate exposure to the activating stressors. Help clients recognize the different levels of intensity of thoughts, feelings, and somatic sensations by engaging in various switching techniques. Safeguard progression by consistent use of the permission process and based language. Heal the impact of terror and fear by skillfully working towards integration during the Compassion process
Nervous System Regulation Exercise
Trauma impact makes it often difficult for the brain toexperience calm, or to feel alive and present. Bothhypervigilance and hypo-vigilance serve as the brain'snatural defense mechanisms for survival. Requesting thebrain to embrace calmness or presence can be met withhesitation or resistance as it means temporarily pausingthese defenses. Utilizing TRIP’s permission process providesa gateway to safe regulation and calming. Choosing a mindfulimage, we utilize eye movements with the “calm eye” tofurther enhance regulation. Integrate this newly found calmwith the trauma eye by engaging in the well-known switchingand quick flash skills.
I found this training to be incredibly valuable and thorough. Monique did a wonderful job of making sure we got through all the necessary material while allowing us space to explore our questions and curiosities. I find TRIP incredibly valuable when working with people as they navigate complex and childhood trauma. I was debating between several trainings that incorporate eye-brain strategies and am so happy that I chose TRIP. It incorporates so many approaches that are evidence based and valued by clients including parts work, eye-brain techniques, somatic work, trauma-informed emotion-focused strategies, and a deep integration of trauma-informed attachment work. People I work with have shared that they appreciate the ongoing consent, pacing, the meaning-making that are part of using TRIP in their healing journeys

“ I just have to share how much I'm enjoying this training. I knew when the universe tossed TRIP in my direction that it was no coincidence, this is the first training I've taken in almost a decade that really resonates and just feels right. Watching you be with clients in videos, and then witnessing your passion in training, is so inspiring to me! It is amazing to be in the company of someone who is as rabidly passionate about trauma work as I am. I feel very blessed to be participating and learning from you.”
