the impact of your support

Healing is a movement worth joining.

Millions of people around the world are suffering alone, unable to get the care they deserve — feeling like what is available isn't working or isn't culturally relevant.

The Center for Trauma and Embodiment understands that healing is a journey worthy of effective support, where the whole person must be cared for, including their body. Our research and evidence-based healing models are accessible to everyone.

"With TCTSY, I reclaimed my body. That is a gift because I so hated my body. Or I claimed it, not reclaimed because I was so young. I claimed it. It was a long process to consider myself not an outline... I think TCTSY helped define me."

Fundraise for CFTE

Join the movement with your community.

Since 2002, CFTE has been dedicated to providing effective, evidence-based care for people around the world who have experienced chronic relational and systemic trauma and PTSD.

The impact of trauma extends to a person's whole self, including their body. Talk therapy typically leaves the body out and focuses only on the mind. The feelings of terror and the threat of danger are felt in our bodies — and that is where healing must also happen.

"The trembling, the pit in your belly, the urge to flee, the urge to fight, the shutting down and going numb. These are not pathological responses. They are biological responses to survival."

Center for Trauma and Embodiment

With over 1,000 facilitators in more than 50 countries, we estimate that over one million people have tried one of our care models. We have given over $200,000 in scholarships so that healing can stay in communities.
