Innovating Mental Health Care
For 15 years, the Australian Trauma Research Institute (ATRI) has been revolutionizing mental health treatment—shifting the focus from prolonged therapy to prevention and single-session empowerment.
Research confirms what many therapists see in practice: Most people attend just one counseling session (Talmon 1990, Bloom 2001, Young 2018, Sarikaya 2021).
ATRI’s breakthrough approach, Self-Empowerment Therapy (SET), flips traditional therapy on its head. Developed by Professor David Sarikaya, it’s built on four foundational principles:
Self-Knowledge – You understand yourself better than anyone else.
Power Over Problems – Distress comes not from events, but from feeling powerless to change them.
The Problem Pattern – Life’s struggles aren’t random; they follow a predictable, repeating cycle.
Rooted in Development – This pattern forms early, shaped by unresolved inner conflicts and skill gaps during key life transitions.
How SET Works
SET is practical, evidence-based, and aligned with CBT, but goes further—helping you:
✔ Identify your unique problem pattern
✔ Regulate inner conflicts
✔ Apply micro-strategies to build a resilient, integrated self
The method is distilled in The Five Minute Therapist, a book born from 15 years of research and 5,000+ patient cases. It tackles:
Depression
Anxiety
Addiction
PTSD
Suicidal ideation
"The book psychiatrists read when they’re truly depressed."
Proven Results
ATRI’s studies, including "Blame Gabriel: Acute Grief After Loss" (accepted for presentation at the 8th European Conference on Mental Health), show SET’s real-world impact. More trials are underway.
