The Inner Room (TIR) Method
Certification Program Overview
The Inner Room (TIR) Certification is designed for therapists (ASW, AMFT, LMFT, LCSW) who are seeking to enrich their therapeutic approach through utilizing the client’s inner wisdom. The TIR model is grounded in the following foundational beliefs:
- The human mind and body possess an innate drive toward homeostasis and healing.
- Each client holds, often subconsciously, the internal wisdom necessary for their own healing process.
- Therapeutic progress involves the removal of conscious barriers that inhibit access to this internal healing process.
- The exercise is client-led through free association and visualization, with the therapist providing facilitative support through strategic questioning.
- Therapeutic guidance is non-directive; the therapist follows the client’s lead, ensuring that the client’s inner experience remains at the forefront.
Certification Objectives:
- Understand and competently utilize the TIR method with appropriate clients (adults who are moderate to high functioning)
- Adequately apply the TIR method in any outpatient mental health program (telehealth or in-person)
- Confidently approach individual therapy with a strong emphasis on cultural sensitivity due to the TIR method being client-led and non-directive
Target Audience:
Therapists engage in outpatient psychotherapy with adult clients who are moderately to highly functioning.
