The TAG Method

Become The Healing Presence 

Every Nervous System Longs For

The TAG Method is a groundbreaking approach to nervous system regulation that synthesizes the best of Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, IFS, somatic release, attachment science, and trauma-informed relational practice—creating the world’s most effective set of tools for navigating a trauma response in oneself or in another, and using it as a doorway to profound healing.

With dozens of practitioners already certified, the TAG Method is empowering therapists, clinicians, medicine providers, and healers of all backgrounds to hold even the most intense moments with grounded presence, navigate them with precision, and catalyze lasting transformation in their clients.

No More Dead Ends… Just Gates, Waiting To Be Unlocked

If you’ve found your way to this website, chances are you’re someone who cares—deeply. 

You’re a healer, a guide, a space-holder. You see the state of the world, the emotional unraveling all around us, and you’ve felt the pull to ease that suffering—not just one client at a time, but in the greater arc of our collective human experience. 

And yet, all of us in this work are navigating uncharted terrain… humanity has never carried this much trauma in our collective nervous systems. 

Every act of cruelty, every fracture in connection, every self-destructive spiral—it’s all a symptom. 

The psychology theories and techniques we learned made perfect sense on paper, but sitting across from someone whose pain is raw and relentless… that’s a responsibility and pressure far greater than any textbook can prepare you for. And the tools we were taught were never designed to heal trauma. 

Holding space in the presence of that much fear, rage, or grief can feel like standing in the middle of a storm with no compass. 

Sessions stall…
You circle the same themes over and over…
You pour yourself into their process, only to watch them walk away without the breakthrough they need. 

Yet, what if every practitioner was trained in a proven system that rewires and thus resolves  the very heart of their trauma—in order to unlock the emotional prison they’ve been trapped in for years, and finally step into lasting relief, freedom, and transformation?

How much of an impact would that have for your clients?

And how many lives would change, as their healing rippled out into every other life they come in contact with?

What would the world look like then? When anybody can be a healer?

Our Dream

Imagine if every interaction you had contained a healing possibility, that every person you met had the ability to see differently, past the surface, and the ability to open their hearts with curiosity and compassion…

What if we could all help each other reduce the triggers all around us, even just a little bit, and not be burdened in the process?

This is the world our students are creating with The TAG Method

Our graduates “learn to hear with their eyes”, learn how to hold an open, curious heart, and how to maintain a state of attuned, unconditional positive regard. 

Imagine if your doctor did this – or your boss, your local law enforcement officer, your children’s teachers, even the checkout person at the grocery store?

We believe that we can teach anyone, everyone, to see – and be – differently with one another and that it will have a positive ripple effect with every interaction.

For decades trauma has not been properly understood by medical or psychotherapy communities – if it were, the DSM would be a thin pamphlet and not a 900-page tome!

Methods for dealing with the symptoms associated with PTSD have been developed, but for many, learning to live with PTSD has remained the only option.

That is not good enough for us.

We envision a world where people don’t have to live with trauma overtaking their nervous systems and affecting their relationships.

The TAG Method aspires to full healing.

This does not mean that you forget what happened; rather, that it no longer has the power to negatively impact your life or your future.

Even if trauma is ongoing, The TAG Method can help ease the impact of ongoing traumas on a person’s nervous system.

The TAG Method is the next evolution in lasting trauma healing.

We all just want to be seen - to be received with compassion and curiosity.

The TAG Method will train you to do so, in your particular professional capacity, and will become the lens through which everything you do will be filtered.

Once you learn to hear with your eyes, you cannot unlearn it and you will want to share it with others – just like we do.
