Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)

Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) is a holistic, attachment-centered approach designed to meet the needs of children who have experienced trauma, loss, or disrupted early relationships. Rooted in connection, structure, and nurture, TBRI supports healing by creating emotionally safe environments where children can rebuild trust and regulation skills. At Five Seasons Therapy, our therapists use TBRI principles to support both children and caregivers in their healing journey.

TBRI emphasizes practical strategies to support connection, correct behavior, and empower the child’s voice. It can be particularly helpful for adoptive families, foster placements, or children with histories of neglect or institutional care. Therapy sessions also guide caregivers in responding with empathy, consistency, and co-regulation, creating a secure foundation for long-term development.
