About Tanner and CPTSD Medicine
Welcome to CPTSD Medicine, where healing is approached with precision, depth, and intention. My name is Tanner, and I’m a Marriage Clarity Mentor. I work with high achievers who are stepping into the role of Empowered HouseHolder. Through deep inner work based in Internal Family Systems, external relationship clean-up, and alignment with their Sacred Blueprint, I guide humans to break free from survival mode, reconnect with their inner authority, and build magnificent, joy-filled lives rooted in peace and purpose.
How the Healing Protocol Came to Be
The CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol was born from my personal journey. After leaving a career as a tenured professor of Applied Developmental Psychology, I turned inward to heal my own childhood trauma and navigate the complexities of my relationships. What started as personal notes, reflections, and practices evolved into a structured guide—a curriculum for healing that integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, ancestral medicine, and practical tools for navigating everyday life as a potent site for healing complex trauma.
As an IFS Level 3 trained practitioner, I have a sophisticated understanding of this life-changing approach and woven it into every aspect of the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol. This protocol has grown into a 464-page text that has been refined over the years. It serves as the foundation for all of my work, including The Journey, a 10-month healing sabbatical I offer to those ready to transform their lives from the inside out.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Relationships Come Last in CPTSD Resolution
That is the core belief here. True healing begins within, and relationships thrive only when the foundation is strong.
In a world that often urges us to “fix” relationships first, it is no wonder so many people feel stuck in unhealthy dynamics. But focusing on relationships without addressing the fundamentals of self-belief, trust, curriculum, and leadership only prolongs the cycle of pain and confusion.
I believe there is a better way—a way that prioritizes building the inner scaffolding required to approach relationships from a place of clarity, strength, and peace.
When we focus first on self-belief, rebuild trust in ourselves, evolve with a potent healing curriculum, and develop leadership in our own lives, we create the conditions for healthy relationships to emerge naturally.
This is the work of healing at the deepest level, and it is the path to lasting change.

What Is a Healing Sabbatical?
A healing sabbatical is a 10-month journey of personal transformation designed for high achievers who feel maxed out by the demands of work and family life but sense there is more waiting for them. This structured time-out from the hustle of daily life allows you to slow down, focus on resolving your complex trauma, and make decisions from a place of clarity and strength.
This isn’t about escaping your responsibilities; it’s about creating space to reconnect with yourself, unburden the trauma energies you’ve carried, and align your life with your values. The sabbatical follows the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol, offering a step-by-step map to guide your healing through the everyday moments of your life.
