TIR for Children Workshop

An excellent two-day workshop for those Practitioners that work with children, as well as for Practitioners who would like to work with children.

Incorporating the use of play with TIR, this is a structural yet person-centered approach to resolving the emotional charge contained in a child’s trauma and eliminating the negative aftereffects in a brief amount of time. This workshop also teaches the technique of unblocking, especially designed for children in a language they can understand.
