Terry Brennen has studied AB/IS-TDP through the Southern California Society for IS-TDP. The people of Vancuover, BC are indeed lucky to have Terry representing IS-TDP in the Northwest. He completed our four year training program and is highly skilled and very talented in helping patients access their unconscious trauma and rapidly as well as thoroughly repair early attachment trauma. Terry is also an IEDTA eligible supervisor for professionals who may decide to use him as a supervisor. The technique of IS-TDP is a difficult technique to master: Terry has shown his mettle and has earned my strongest professional endorsement.

After having spent countless years in therapy with no success, I finally found Terry Brennen who practices AB/IS-TDP. I had ten sessions with him and feel a clear shift has happened in my life. He helped me realize how my emotional overwhelmness and recurring feelings of helplessness and despair were a defense; they were my parent’s negative voice talking and I was seeing others and myself through their eyes. He helped me experience that this is not me, and that I CAN be myself, regardless of what I went through as a child. I feel lighter now and more assertive in my relationship and with my career choices.
If you have been struggling with low self-esteem, emotional overwhelmness, rage/anger or any other issue nobody could help you with, then I strongly suggest you work with Terry Brennen. He is very skilled at this form of therapy, and he is genuinely loving and supportive, while at the same time able to hold his stand when there is resistance.
