Using the TRAC Technique to Treat Trauma

The TRAC technique is a powerful tool used in trauma recovery and emotional regulation. It helps individuals slow down, reflect on their reactions, and create space for healthier responses. Trauma can make us feel like we’re stuck in automatic emotional loops — reacting without understanding why. The TRAC process interrupts that cycle by inviting mindful reflection at each step. The worksheet includes a form to help people record their progress with this technique. (Trauma, PTSD, triggers)
