Anchored Relational Model (formerly AIR Network)

Many of our therapists are trained in the Anchored Model which is a therapy for complex trauma and neuro-dissociative states. The model looks at individual’s lifespans and takes into account the impacts of complex trauma along with consideration to development, resilience, vulnerability, and so on. The goal is for individuals to gain freedom to be able to fully engage with themselves and in relationships with others, to step free from trauma and find one’s center.

The Anchored Relational Model has three phases that make up the Therapeutic Arc.

Phase One: Creating Context and Resource Stabilization

This phase focuses on survival strategies and learning how to distinguish between memories, parts, and conditioning which increases internal safety.

Phase Two: Developing Networks and Anchored Resourcing

This phase supports internal relational networks which allows one to be present with all of themself and who they are at any given moment. Identifying who they are and how they are separate from the trauma.

Phase Three: Future Resilience and/or Memory Processing

The option to do memory work is available for individuals partaking in this model. It is their choice to process memories, not one of a clinician. This expands one’s freewill which strengthens decision making and promotes further healing.

The model is originated by Patti Miller, MA, LP and Phyllis C. Solon, PsyD, LP
