TRAUMA THERAPY ASSOCIATION (tTA), MALAYSIA
The birth of Trauma Therapy Association in 2020 was a response to the urgent need for professional, ethical, and accessible trauma therapy services in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the world grappled with the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic there was an increased demand for trauma-informed therapists, as many individuals were facing heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and distress. Concurrently, there was a surge in individuals seeking to train in the field of trauma therapy to address this growing need, thus creating a unique opportunity to establish the Trauma Therapy Association.
For a dedicated group of individuals, this development marked the realisation of a longstanding dream and vision. They aspired to create an Association that would serve as a beacon for ethical practice in trauma therapy and a trusted resource for those seeking trauma-informed care by well-trained and reputable trauma therapy practitioners,
It was a journey marked by collaboration, perseverance and unwavering determination, supported by the generosity of sister associations (namely EMDR Singapore) that eventually culminated in being recognised and taken under the wing of EMDR Asia as an affiliate.
Looking ahead, the Association is poised to offer regular talks specifically focused on EMDR therapy, with the aim of heightening awareness about its benefits and potential applications. This proactive stance not only empowers practitioners but also ensures that the broader community is informed about this crucial modality in trauma therapy. This dynamic approach reflects a commitment to continuous learning, growth, and the shared advancement of trauma therapy.
