Center for Trauma and Embodiment (CFTE)
For over 20 years, CFTE has been a global leader in empirically validated, clinical interventions for complex trauma and PTSD, having established the original framework for trauma informed programming used by many other organizations today, including the TCTSY model of Trauma Sensitive Yoga, the original yoga for trauma, plus Trauma Informed Weight Lifting and ReScripted, a theatre-based therapeutic intervention for trauma-impacted adolescents. Our trainers, facilitators, and participants come from over 40 countries, territories and First Nations. In 2022 alone, more than 30,000 people around the world participated in at least one of our care models by way of individual or group sessions, trainings, or research studies. We have published studies in JAMA Network Open and have been featured in multiple publications, including the New York Times.
