Etiotropic Trauma Management™ Trauma Resolution
Therapy™ Since its inception over three 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 second
contribution to the field of trauma management: a strategic systems
application component which intervenes upon, manages and prevents perpetrator
based trauma causing activities. I am Jesse W. Collins II, 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 fifteen years. We wish all ETM TRT
counselors, managers and patients well. Goodbye. Jesse W. Collins II
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 thirty 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 three 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 and SHOM 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 – 2012 Jesse W. Collins II Protest Time! So some of you academes finally want
to cure combat trauma? Then, another bunch of you, combined with some
self-income-interested primarily Cognitive Behavioral and pharmacological
therapy treatment guys say that’s impossible. Worse, you’ve taken this
confusion to the National Security level by applying the discord and the
standard incompetencies attending those management issues to theater. Big
mistake; eventually to have catastrophic consequences for the capacity of
this country, and western civilization as a whole, to
defend itself. Hence, all things taken together, you’ve ─ referring to the merger of
academia, mental health clinical
researchers, those who manage the Department of Defense including its
military components and the VA, and the so called Evidenced Based clearing
house for science as related to psychological trauma ─ initiated a
controversy and life-threatening (as in American troops and civilians)
conflict that requires address in not only the so called professional, but
public arenas. The book on the left with “Whack-O-Mole” in the title
interprets the conflict and prescribes what has to be done to prevent it from
continuing to cause harm. Because we’ve been doing it (curing
psychological trauma) for a third of a century; and for the purpose of saving
western civilization (WC) and probably the rest of the world a bunch of
lives, as well a few mega-trillion dollars, and about a half century of
futile research and development, not to mention WC’s freedom from the
prospects of extinction, here is a five step summary of how to get started.

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 “Focused-caring
and cure-based epistemology” refers to the intellectual ─ to include
thought-model ─ 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 emphasis on focused-based derives from the use of a management
structure that removes former cultural impediments to achieving a cure of
psychological trauma. The “cure-based” element of the epistemology refers to
the facilitated (through the “focused-caring” management structure) but
otherwise natural extinction of the molecular substrate of trauma’s etiology,
as defined in this work. 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) so called crisis management on the scene
that delineates event rendered trauma which will become trauma etiology and a
plan (schedule) with attendant short and full form modality or methodology
(Trauma Resolution Therapy TRT) for reversing, expunging, removing – meaning
curing – trauma etiologies of both near-
(under ninety days) and long-term (past ninety days) trauma; c) the structured
to include focused-caring- and cure-based approaches to both near- and
long-term including multiple sources of trauma (today termed “complex 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 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 Pharmacological and Behavioral Whack-a-Mole.
