TSM, The Samara Method, is an advanced psychological treatment created by Dr. Samara Aldahwi. It integrates virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and multisensory technology into a single clinical system designed to support deep emotional processing and psychological clarity.
TSM creates a structured virtual environment where clients can safely explore unresolved memories, past experiences, phobias, and symbolic representations of meaningful emotional content. The method can recreate the presence of a dead parent, a loved one who has passed away, a former partner, childhood figures, and internal parts of the self. It can also generate visual representations of body-related concerns such as weight, scars, or amputations. Each scenario is designed to help clients observe, interact with, and emotionally resolve material that carries psychological significance.
TSM is used for trauma recovery, closure, commitment-related fears, identity conflicts, self-image concerns, and a wide range of emotional blocks. The immersive format allows clients to engage with their internal world in a focused and guided way while remaining within the safety of a clinical setting.
TSM is offered in several structured formats.
TSM Voice is an audio-based version that provides accessibility and convenience.
TSM VR is a full virtual reality experience supported by AI-generated environments and multisensory elements such as heat, sound, vibration, or texture when clinically appropriate.
TSM Hologram Haptic is designed for clients who are blind or visually impaired and uses holographic representation with touch-based feedback.
TSM Box is a gentle and specialized version created for terminally ill children who require a different therapeutic approach.
TSM is practiced within the professional scope of licensed mental health treatment in the State of California. All clients receive a detailed informed consent that explains the process, potential risks, boundaries, and ethical standards. TSM is not a medical intervention and does not claim to diagnose or cure medical conditions. It is a psychological framework that uses technology to support emotional understanding and personal transformation in a clinically guided manner.

A hologram of the chosen individual is projected in front of the client.
The therapist speaks using AI-generated voice cloning to create a realistic interactive experience.
The client can physically touch the hologram, which provides a sense of presence, grounding, and emotional connection.
This version is ideal for:
TSM-Hologram Haptic offers a deeply intimate and accessible form of emotional contact.
For terminally ill children only
TSM-Box is a gentle therapeutic experience created exclusively for children with terminal illnesses.
Its purpose is not to treat trauma, but to reduce the child’s fear of death and help them feel safe and calm.
TSM-Box uses a holobox to project comforting holograms directly in front of the child. The child does not need to wear a headset, move, or interact physically. They simply observe and listen.
The holograms can appear as angels who speak to the child and explain what heaven looks like in a soft, reassuring, age-appropriate way. The angels describe a peaceful place filled with beauty, love, and safety, giving the child something to look forward to rather than fear.
The therapist speaks through the hologram using AI voice technology, guiding the child through a comforting interaction that eases fear and creates emotional peace during the final stage of life.
TSM-Box focuses entirely on comfort, reassurance, and reducing fear of the unknown, giving terminally ill children a sense of clarity, safety, and emotional protection.
