TRAUMATIC INCIDENT REDUCTION WORKSHOP
About the TIR Workshop
This workshop covers the nature of trauma, the consequences of traumatic incidents, and the Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) technique, a one-on-one, highly structured, yet person-centered approach to resolving the emotional charge contained in traumas and permanently eliminating their negative aftereffects in a brief amount of time.
It also contains data on how past traumas may be triggered, and how unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, attitudes, and pains (“themes”) arising from past trauma may be traced back to their origins and eliminated.
The workshop also teaches Unblocking, a technique that is highly useful in preparing a client for TIR and for handling issues that are not directly trauma-related relationships. Unblocking can be applied to broad areas of life (e.g. “your self-esteem”, “your career”, “your relationship with your spouse” etc.)
The TIR Workshop presents a new paradigm of safety and effectiveness for helping others. Upon completing this training, a practitioner can expect to have excellent results applying what has been learned.
To quickly raise a newly trained practitioner’s level of skill and confidence, a post-workshop internship is recommended. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of practicing social workers, psychologists, therapists, counselors, clergy, Lay Ministers & CIS debriefers.
How is TIR Learned
Traumatic Incident Reduction is taught in a 3 or 4-day, 28 hour workshop. It consists of a small group of usually 6-10 students. Most workshops are given on site in Smithfield, Maine, but a workshop can be brought to your location, as well. Please contact us by email or phone.
The information is learned through teaching, watching real videos of real clients receiving TIR, and is practiced in co-facilitation sessions where the students both give and receive sessions. Although this is strongly advised, a student does not need to participate in co-facilitation to receive the 28 CEs.
The workshop can be given on 3 or4 consecutive days or over a period of a of couple weeks.
TIR is a form of "integrative learning" and is not considered counseling, therefore it can be used by professional counselors as well as those in other help-related environments. TIR is well suited for use in the areas of family violence, sexual assault, veteran's services, public safety, churches, school settings, crisis debriefing, etc.
TIR is not culture specific. It is used around the world in a variety of settings.
