We are pleased to announce that The Murray Method®  now is an official  TRADEMARK!

This significant milestone comes after a rigorous multi-year review process during which the distinctive nature and validity of The Murray Method® was thoroughly evaluated.

Initially, our intellectual property attorneys cautioned us about the challenges ahead, as the term “Murray Method®” could potentially be considered generic across various fields.  However, our four decades of experience, along with the method’s widespread recognition both nationally and internationally, proved instrumental in securing this trademark protection.

This achievement reflects the unique value and established reputation of The Murray Method® in our industry.

We remain committed to maintaining the high standards and innovation that have made The Murray Method® the trusted approach for our clients worldwide.

The Trauma Egg® – A Milestone Achievement

The Trauma Egg® – in active use since 1983 as a foundation stone of the Murray Method® – received official trademark protection as we celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2023. Our new tagline captures its enduring impact: The Trauma Egg® – a Timeless Tool for Healing

The Trauma Egg® is a powerful therapeutic instrument that guides individuals in documenting painful experiences within a vertical diagram format, creating a profound visual representation of their personal trauma journey. Throughout four decades The Trauma Egg® has established itself as the “go-to” primary tool for chronicling both childhood and present-day trauma, earning recognition from countless healthcare professionals, counseling centers, and inpatient rehabilitation facilities .  We offer a special thank you and acknowledgement to Dr. Patrick Carnes for making The Trauma Egg® a required exercise for all CSAT and IITAP participants and extensively championing its use

The effectiveness of The Trauma Egg® has led to widespread implementation throughout the United States and Canada, with particularly strong application by Murray Method®  International Centers in Ukraine, Russia and Central Asia. Today, The Trauma Egg® continues to expand its global reach as more practitioners discover its transformative potential in the healing process.

Murray Method® in Ukraine – Poltava Murray Method® Center: 20 Years of Healing

Dr. Ruslan Ilchenko and his wife Ludmila have been dedicated practitioners of the Murray Method® since 2003. As active Murray Method® instructors, they established a center in Poltava, Ukraine, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.

When war erupted in Ukraine in 2022, the Ilchenkos and their staff immediately mobilized to address the overwhelming trauma experienced by civilian refugees. Their compassionate response led to the establishment of the Murray Method® War Trauma Treatment Rehabilitation Center in January 2023.  This specialized rehabilitation center provides free in-patient treatment to 50 war victims each month, using the Murray Method® as its primary therapeutic approach. The effectiveness of this methodology in addressing severe high-crisis trauma has been demonstrated through successful treatment of over 1,300 civilian victims of war.

The work being done in Poltava exemplifies how the Murray Method® can be adapted to address even the most profound trauma, offering hope and healing in circumstances of extreme crisis. Patients who complete this program leave with a transformative confidence in their ability to survive, maintaining a deep sense of internal value and courage for the future.

Prestigious Carnes Award Recognition

The Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH) presents the annual “Carnes Award” to honor exceptional researchers and clinicians who have made significant contributions to the field of sexual health. This distinguished award is a tribute to Dr. Patrick Carnes, the founder of sex-addiction treatment and research.

In 2022, Marilyn Murray was honored with this prestigious recognition for her transformative work in the field. In a special gesture, Dr. Carnes made a personal effort to present the award himself.

We invite you to watch the attached video featuring these two influential pioneers who share not only professional respect but also a longstanding friendship and collegial relationship spanning many years.

"It was obvious to me after a while that Marilyn’s job in life was to help people. Marilyn’s job was to take big strong scary men that society had rejected and make society accept them again and make them excel while they’re being accepted.

She was talking the right talk a hundred percent to me. I owe Marilyn a debt that can never be repaid for getting me into the recovery world. Marilyn took me to a place that I could never have been able to go. She believed in me."
