Using the Trauma Reintegration Process to Treat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder with Dissociation and Somatic Features: A Case Series

Sise, M.T. · Healthcare · 2025

Case series👥 2 participantsPreliminary✓ Source-checked
In plain English. Two patients with PTSD and dissociation had their tapping treatment stall until a new technique called the Trauma Reintegration Process was added, after which nightmares and flashbacks improved substantially. As a two-patient case series, this shows a promising combination approach but cannot prove effectiveness broadly.

What they found

2
people took part

In both cases, EFT treatment stalled when the patient dissociated, but after the Trauma Reintegration Process (TRP) was introduced, EFT treatment regained momentum, leading to significant improvement in PTSD symptoms including reduced nightmares and flashbacks.

How the study worked

Who took parttwo women with PTSD and dissociation: one after a motor vehicle accident, one with childhood abuse history plus adult trauma (n=2)
What they didThis is a detailed report following a small number of individual cases through tapping.
Measured withclinical observation of nightmares, flashbacks, and somatic symptoms
