Training in TIR for psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and social workers

read my e-book
TIR is an evidence-based technique. It is used to resolve the symptoms of PTSD and Complex PTSD. It has also been proven effective as a psychotherapy technique used to bring about spontaneous change in the symptoms of most psychological issues and psychiatric disorders. It is a rapid (compared to traditional therapy) method of effectively reducing traumatic stress from emotionally and/or physically painful events in the past.
