TREM Questions and Answers

Q: One of our group members has missed several sessions because of a medical illness. How can I help her "catch up" on the material?

A: You and she can use the self help version of the TREM intervention, Healing the Trauma of Abuse: A Woman’s Workbook, by Mary Ellen Copeland, MA and Maxine Harris, Ph.D. (New Harbinger Publishers, 2000). Copeland and Harris have taken the 33 session TREM format and converted it into a workbook. This workbook is a companion to TREM, and includes a variety of exercises and questions for each session topic. This workbook can be used by a woman individually, in an individual therapy context, or with a close friend or companion. You can order the workbook through our website’s publications page.
