What is TPYG?
TPYG is an evidence-based model created by Amy M. Battersby, MS, LMHC, CTSC, RYT in collaboration with Elizabeth Butler, E-RYT in 2013. TPYG has three levels and has shown to significantly reduce common symptoms and negative cognitions associated with trauma and bring transformational healing to participants.
TPYG is a 12 week psychoeducation and psychotherapy group to treat symptoms resulting from interpersonal trauma. This model incorporates guided meditation, education about mental health and services, group process (the behaviors of members of small, working groups) and yoga for a completely unique and effective healing experience.
