A Brief Description of TIR :
Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is a non-evaluative, client-led
mindfulness-oriented procedure that enables the client to undo repression
and increase awareness of past events that still effect his present. The
basic TIR procedure also responds to how traumatic experiences 'network' and
identifies other less obviously related incidents that can be complicit in
the maintenance of symptoms. The broader subject of TIR consists of a range
of theoretically consistant counselling tools, designed to respond to many
different needs and situations.
TIR workshop Level I Module II Thematic TIR and Unblocking , 2 day (TIRW
Certificate)
Two days
Fee: £220
Prerequisite Introductory day - Basic Traumatic Incident Reduction Workshop
Venue: Belsize Park, London
This workshop completes the first level of TIR training and is the second
part of the introductory two day workshop. It includes the second form of
TIR - Thematic TIR. This is a method for reaching traumatic incidents that
the client is unaware he has. TIR is a client-titrated approach and
therefore the client decides what he/she is ready to confront. The
unblocking technique is also contained in this workshop.The 'Unblocking'
technique is a broadly applicable technique, based on a range of concepts in
line with the mindfulness movement. Here are some examples of areas that are
may be addressed with unblocking:
* 'Your marriage' (a general area of a persons life)
* 'Your fear of heights' (any phobia or other recurring unwanted
emotion)
* 'Your boss' (specific people you client has issues with)
* 'Arrogant people' (general personality types the client has trouble
with)
* 'Learning' (areas or abilities the client struggles with)
* 'Money' (particular things or subjects the client has problems with)
* Your self-esteem' (abstract concepts referring to any part of a
person's subjective world)
As you apply the Unblocking technique, awareness is expanded using a
repetitive exercise designed to maximize the client's focus and perceptions
of his mental environment. Inner objectivity and perspective are increased
by asking the client to look from the point of view of a range of specific
concepts (20 in all). These concepts are based on the common ways we stop
ourselves from being mindful i.e. common ways in which we judge and suppress
our own thoughts and feelings to ill effect.Training in the Unblocking
procedure, a method for reducing stress in a general area of a client's life
such as 'Your job', 'Your marriage'. Unblocking is also useful for preparing
a client for more intense exposure work. A training in TIR grounding
procedures
