This workshop greatly expands upon the first level of TIR training, moving you into the subject of designing detailed treatment plans. This is done using a well developed approach for integrating a wide range of tools into a single course of treatment. This highly coherent model of treatment planning offers further insight into integrating mindfulness-informed therapies. See below for more details. This workshop was developed after extensive interviews with graduates of the TIR Workshop. The transdiagnostic method taught in this workshop enables students to administer detailed and coherent treatment plans for addressing many of the issues encountered in general practice.
