Etiotropic Trauma Management™ Trauma Resolution
Therapy™ Since its inception 3 decades ago, Etiotropic
Trauma Management™ Trauma Resolution Therapy™ (ETM TRT) has provided our
world with a complete and unequivocal4 cure for psychological trauma and
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). That fact has supported ETM’s
strategic systems application component which intervenes upon, manages and
prevents perpetrator based trauma causing activities. I am Jesse Collins, author, developer and ETM
Certifying Authority for the ETM TRT system of psychological trauma
treatment, management and care and attending professional, patient and
research training, educational and certification contingents. I am now ending
my primary participation within the ETM TRT dissemination system. I will,
however, maintain a supervisory role as the ETM Certification Authority,
and continue to make available through
links to this page those informational components that support the thousands
of psychological treatment clinicians already ETM TRT professionally trained
and certified. The ETM Tutorial will
also be available as continuing support for the even greater numbers of
patients still using TRT. Two trainers (left) continue with my authority to
assist special situations (online school and the local school for
organizations). There are NO other trainers. Copyrights, counselor manager
agreements and all legal particulars governing the ETM TRT system of care and
combat management continue the work and are noted in the pertinent site
locations (left). I’m asking you to help by following the rules and
information provided in this site. If you will, ETM TRT will achieve the
goals described below when I am gone. My wife Nancy and I have sustained very
poor health for the last 14 years. We wish all ETM TRT counselors, managers
and patients well. Goodbye. Jesse

I’m leaving the next generation of
dedicated ETM TRT professionals with what’s called this “Author’s Message”: It is the most important thing I have to say
about ETM TRT, showing its meaning for and importance to humanity and
concluding with clarification of the model’s goals for the rest of the
century. Restating for emphasis, ETM TRT has
endurably, completely and Etiotropically resolved the psychological trauma
affecting every case to which it was administered in accordance with its
application criteria. As ETM TRT’s author celebrating this 30th anniversary
of its initial development, I am stating what I have learned starting with
its inception and continuing thereafter to be true: “Resolution” as I’ve
employed it here means that ETM TRT has cured, stills cures, and will
continue to cure immemorially people affected by psychological
trauma and its more recognizable behavioral outcome Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD). Moreover, and in case you have not understood the full
meaning of this statement, no other secular based body of psychological
research and study has ever provided the world since the beginning of humankind’s
existence a view or experience of this phenomenon’s equal. Imagine the final
removal of the deepest, darkest vacuum of devastation that heretofore has
hollowed our hearts and minds of their essence, vacating joy and pleasure
from our lives as they have been taken inexorably over the millennia to their
endings, never having known without abuse their life’s wonderments. Now,
because of ETM TRT’s applications so far to some members of our generations,
for them there’ll be no more sequestered haunting trauma attended by
seemingly perdurable loss-causing shock, horror, hurt, shame, sadness,
disillusion and everlasting depression. Psychological trauma has 2 other
functions different from just being the intrapsychic source of individual,
family and community life long misery. These functions make psychological
trauma the Gordian knot to be untied if anyone other than me, and there are a
few of you, intends to end pain and suffering that has been reinventing
itself as if an infinite part of man for (at least) the last 3 thousand plus
years. First, psychological trauma provides
the inexhaustible fuel supply for that inveterate relic of the once dark ages
of mental health, the “cycle of violence.” Traumatized people sometimes traumatize
others, including even their loved ones. Second, psychopaths use trauma, for
example, created through the killing
of innocent citizens as a time responsive intrapsychically implanted
manipulation device that systemically controls their political oppositions’
defensive management activities. That
is called “terrorism.” Strategic ETM employs its oft
referenced to be daedal structural features in conjunction with TRT’s ability
to cure trauma affected individuals and systems in order to expunge and then
dispose of that system management debilitating fuel that repeatedly re
launches the “cycle.” Removing the fuel
interrupts the cycle and then ends it. Thereafter, what also can we expect
to succumb to our cause, determinations, and Strategic ETM strengthened
capacities? It will be those perpetrators of perpetual calamity and hysteria.
That is, strategic uses of ETM will end not just their hegemonic methods, but
also the very existences of those people who would commit the heinous and
vile deeds the methods require to traumatize their prey. The days where terrorists so adroitly
exploit peace and innocence to advance minority interests are coming to an
end. Without any equivocation, ETM TRT is the sword that will cut the Gordian
knot of criminal, as in terrorism, violence. Imagine then even more profoundly if
you dare, what our world could be like without that cycle of violence and the
ability of sociopathic offenders to use trauma to control others. Who knows?
If our 30 years past, current and near future preparations work, that is,
establishing global understanding that trauma as a horrific force can be
removed from our planet’s population’s lives, then our next generation of
determined ETM TRT professionals can more easily and readily spend their time
just finishing the job of actual implementation: extricating the rest of our
civilizations out from under trauma’s now obscenely unnecessary 3 dimensional
burden. After achieving the goals of ridding our citizenry of trauma’s
effects and then preventing it from being used by criminality and the insane,
who knows what else a world without psychological trauma can do? I intend to train and certify as ETM
TRT competent and with my authority to administer the model, only those
professionals who can and will ascribe to the referenced goals. And please know and remember: Even if you
are not the administrator of ETM’s strategic functions, it is the clinical
TRT incremental work done at the individual cure level that makes the more
grandeur view become reality. To conclude this “Author’s Message,”
from herein I will work assiduously as my health allows with those who will
help me by committing to these trauma, violence and terrorism eradication
goals. If that’s not you, enjoy the rest of your life and don’t turn the page. Jesse W. Collins II ©1979 – 2009 Jesse Collins |
Etiotropic TMT™ (also ETM TRT) is the
abbreviation of Etiotropic Trauma Management and Treatment. It represents
several integrated but all Etiotropically engineered approaches to and for the
address of individual, systemic, and strategic applications to psychological
trauma and PTSD that operate within one clinical and crisis management
paradigm. That construct is hosted by an attendant epistemology that is applied
for a single purpose: curing psychological trauma whether presenting alone or
in concert with PTSD. Cure means to end the problem now, not manage or
otherwise have to cope with it for life.
Etiotropic
TMT™ is comprised methodologically of Etiotropic Trauma Management™, Trauma
Resolution Therapy™, and its primary clinical engine entitled “Etiotropic
Incremental Fusion Induction™.” Supplanting it for brevity, we use the
shortened partial acronym “EFI”. Because there are so many interconnected
components related to implementation and discussion of this paradigm and
epistemology, I’ve summarized them under the referenced Etiotropic TMT.
2 “Epistemology” refers to the
intellectual environment needed, required and created for the exclusive purpose
of resolving trauma completely, which
is the synonym for the cure of psychological trauma and PTSD. The epistemology
consists of the learned clinical experience and rationales for a) hosting the
clinical application in an environment that accounts for and removes
resolution-interfering exogenous variables,
b) crisis management on the scene with clinical treatment follow up of near term trauma, c) clinical treatment of
long term including multiple sources (complex) of trauma, d) the removal of
near and long term trauma’s managerial (analysis and decision making) effects
on systems, and e) intervention upon and prevention of perpetrator (for
example, terrorism) use of trauma’s deleterious effects on targeted defensive
managements of antagonist systems (opposing forces as in the military).
3 I’m told that some counselor
certification boards may have promulgated the use of the terms “Cure” and
“Guarantee” in advertising as unethical for its members. I acknowledge this
rule as a necessary approach to clinical treatment given the modalities
historically engineered and vetted by that that organization and all others
thinking similarly. But it is not an appropriate concept now, if in fact, so
ruled. Regrettably, both “cure” and “guarantee” represent profound issues of
conflict for the psychological trauma treatment ideologies and the subsequent
delivery from them of ethical care. For example, claims based only on
publications in some journals that evaluate Nosotropic clinical and research
based activities that there is “no cure for PTSD” are perceived as specious by
those TRT Counselors who resolve trauma completely and daily. There is no
further need in those cases for ongoing life management of coping responses to
a trauma’s etiology that has been addressed professionally as surgeons treat
for a wound or other injury. Hence, the old attempts to keep their clan from
spouting that they could do what truly they’ve never been able to do from
within their epistemology have now been turned into political prejudice by
their own “no cure” self serving battle cry. Little do they know that the
reason they can’t cure it within their elected modalities, is that certain
cultural variables, which we call “Exogenous Variables,” interfere with their
activities. Eventually, that group of naysayers will have to confront the same
issues, which given that their ideas are adapted out of those influences, will
no doubt be embarrassing for them. In the mean time, they have created a political
process that must be responded to in kind. PTSD is not only curable, but simply
so when removing that competition’s failures from the political landscape. That
is why the term “cure” must now be substituted for the 30 year less
ostentatious phrase “complete resolution.”
So
with respectful regard, but with a decision to meet the political challenge now
laid down for Etiotropic TMT, it provides for both a cure and guarantee for the
treatment of psychological trauma and PTSD, but emphasizing, as set out in the conditions referenced
below as “Exogenous Variables” found in footnote 4, and in the book, ETM
TRT; Professional Due Diligence for the 1st Secular Cure for PTSD.
Moreover, although the process of “curing” psychological trauma seems simple
after it has been completed, it is very difficult for numerous reasons to
conceptualize pre cure. In fact, where all 39 (hard copy) books, booklets,
graphic slide representations and other tools like the Internet (free) ETM
Tutorial and School (fee based) used for professional / patient education
programs, that also electronically encompass about ½ gigabyte (500 megabytes
exclusive of video) of disk space on a standard computer, all pull together to
explain ETM TRT’s theory and application of the term “cure,” this paragraph
summarizes into as few words as I can restrain myself in order to give the
initial reader of this site as simplified view of its theory, application and
epistemological principles as I think is possible.
ETM
TRT’s “cure” of psychological trauma and its behavioral manifestation “PTSD”
refer to the complete resolution of psychological trauma within the theorem
that trauma etiology and trauma symptoms are mutually inclusive; you can’t have
one without the other. Moreover, attempts to identify and end symptoms first as
used in competing Nosotropically focused modalities like Behavioral, Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and most
psychodynamic models exacerbate, unbeknownst to the administrator, the
trauma condition (PTSD) by actually strengthening etiology, ironically ensuring
perpetuation of symptoms, probably for life absent epiphanically proportioned
intervention. One secret to trauma’s resolution, therefore, is to control that
Nosotropically enhanced installed repeating irony while reversing, expunging or
otherwise removing the correlate trauma etiology, a consequent outcome (as
opposed to a goal) being dissipation of attending trauma symptoms. The goal is
only in this use to resolve the trauma completely. Neither TRT’s goal nor its
action component involve helping people to learn how to live life or in other
words to cope with the trauma as if it were incurable. When interventions on
the trauma paradox occur outside of the ETM TRT treatment environment, they are
usually experienced as a spiritual event of substantial proportions. Hence,
when the paradox is circumvented with TRT and the etiology made extinct, people
think of ETM TRT as a spiritual model that magically or as if in a miracle
removes their lifelong condition. Importantly for the notion of the term as
used in this application, ETM TRT is NOT a spiritual program, but rather
focuses secularly on the neurological and other medical basis of PTSD’s
substrate. ETM TRT focuses its activities on identification and reversal of
all trauma etiology in a manner particular to TRT that ends trauma symptom
presentation. That “manner” necessarily requires a de paradoxing response
proportionate to the trauma’s onsetting one, especially as it may have been
supported over the life cycle by exogenous variables like the uses of formal
and informal (social drug / alcohol use) medication, Nosotropically and
conversion gone awry conceived helping epistemologies, to include their
underpinning mind controlling philosophy, stoicism, which otherwise is a very
valuable psychological necessity for surviving traumatic events. Subsequently,
facilitating its cure with ETM TRT involves temporarily setting aside during
its application the non existential elements of a culture’s thought systems,
which sequiturely assists in reinforcing the traumas’ individual and collective
staying power. Again, they are hallmarked by the myth “There is no cure for
psychological trauma and PTSD.”
4 “Complete and unequivocal cure”
refers to the complete resolution (cure) of a presenting case of psychological
trauma and PTSD. That will occur 100% of the time when ETM TRT’s criteria for
application are strictly adhered to. Certain exogenous variables and 1 model
prospective limitation (found in “e)” below) can prevent that 100% cure. The
exogenous variables that will break the 100% rule:
a) a parallel
application of psychotropic medications and previous applications of the same
even though the patient has withdrawn from that use.
b) periodic social
drug / alcohol use (not chemical dependency – see “c)” next), for example, the
patient engages in TRT group on Wednesdays and drinks two beers on every
Saturday, and no other alcohol or drug consumption occurs during the week.
c)
comorbid
issues, such as Bipolar Disorder and Chemical Dependency are presenting
parallel or in concert with the PTSD (where non pathological social use is
treated herein as an exogenous variable that will preclude reaching the cure
phenomenon {see above “b)”}, pathological drug / alcohol use is addressed as a
primary issue of its own and one of the sources of trauma that should be
addressed after the patient attains substantial sobriety within the ETM
multiple sources definition and instruction for treatment).
d)
the
application is made for the purpose of controlling or ending symptoms rather
than for resolving the trauma, that is, reversing the trauma’s etiologies
(there are two), or the person is engaged in a rigorous PTSD behavioral control
or modification program parallel to TRT’s application.
e)
The
traumatic event(s) occurred before the age of 3 years (not exogenous variable,
but a limitation of the therapy; it can, however, possibly and even likely be
addressed by TRT if done so within the multiple sources of trauma TRT
application guidelines).
f)
The
traumatized person is currently being exposed to an ongoing threat to the
continuity of life as in the role of the battered spouse.
g)
A
TRT psychotropically medicated, social drug / alcohol using, or Chemically
Dependent using TRT Therapist.
Trauma’s
“complete resolution” is described in detail in the online ETM Tutorial /
Professional / Academic / Development
/ Chapter 5 / and in ETM TRT Professional Due Diligence for the 1st
Secular Cure of PTSD, Chapter 6 (paperback purchased as a component of ETM
TRT training). As demonstrated in the ETM TRT literature, some of these
variables can be circumvented or mitigated such that the quality of resolution
approaches, but usually does not wholly attain the complete resolution or cure
goal otherwise available without these variables’ interferences with the
application. TRT can produce lots of wonderful results, meaning have results
pertaining to cognitive clarification of what happened to the person’s
psychology because of the event even when all the exogenous variables are not
considered. But those outcomes based just on cognitive understandings is not
what reverses trauma’s etiology thus curing the trauma. Thus, not addressing
all the variables will not allow the patient to achieve the best that is
available had the referenced variables been addressed by ETM’s formulas and
guidelines. But there is bad news here also. Not addressing the variables can
have in some and not necessarily always predictable applications have negatives
that dumb down the approach to the level of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or
even harm a patient further who has already been harmed enough by the initial
event(s). Such people do not need the risk of a malfeasant therapy experience
when such things can absolutely be avoided by following the directions on the
box.
These
issues, that is, identifying and addressing the variables that will preclude
psychological trauma’s optimum address, may tend to dampen one’s enthusiasm for
becoming a TRT clinician. They should and are placed in the front with the
intension of dissuading from participation with TRT anyone less than is the
therapist who is dedicated to helping people by simply removing the pain that
is hurting them. That is what TRT does; it removes ALL of that pain when
applied within the parameters described here. Although putting up with these
issues that influence the extraordinarily fine level of output one gets can be
onerous in some cultures, I’ll assure you that seeing an individual completely
cured of a previously thought to be incurable condition, in this instance
referring to PTSD, experiencing that outcome as a facilitator of it is well
worth the commitment to the discipline required to achieve that cure. That is
why I, my wife and Craig Carson have applied so much of our lives and personal
resources to making this phenomenon available to those who need it.
5 In answer to the posed question (placed at the end of the home page’s navigation menu on the left) “Is ETM TRT an Evidenced-Based approach to trauma treatment and management?”, ETM TRT is absolutely based on very solid and easily replicating evidence as provided in the book ETM Professional Due Diligence for the 1st Secular Cure of PTSD. But with regards to the meaning of the term “Evidenced-Based” as it is currently being exploited for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy dawa (although Arabic, that term is used prolifically in English) for the advancement of a competing ideology, the answer is “Not likely.” However, the question raised such significant issues at contest between helping ideas and methods that it initiated from me a fairly long study of the changes occurring in the clinical arenas while Nancy and I were ill and incapacitated from injuries and illnesses. The results of that study have been posted to our activist advocacy blog in a 3 part developing essay entitled: The Evidenced-Based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Self Help and Government Merger: Monopolistic Cultural Infusion of Behavioral Whack-a-Mole.
