Within two weeks time--during which, as I recall, we had four or five sessions--he crawled out of the bars, picked up his books, and went back to studying. He's now graduated, with an MBA, and working hard in a very good job. He has read just about everything that he can get his hands on that has to do with TIR. He's extremely interested in learning all of the processes and procedures, and would like to pick it up himself.... But again, here was an individual who was heading down the wrong track, knew he was heading down the wrong track, needed a "tour guide" to turn him around, got one ... and turned around. He's doing great!

This says something too me about TIR and this persons involvement within it. It says, that possibly it wasn't just the TIR that helped people, but instead the actual person himself, and especially being an Ex Lt Col, a hard and tough man as described, thus being the type of authoritive person to actually implement such a procedure and MAKE it work, not attempt to ALLOW it to work. I think TIR could actually be a big failure because it is possibly dependant upon the actual person delivering it, and not the treatment itself.
That transcript goes into how he generally allowed sessions to go past the safe limits, which are what got him the results. How many using this would go past the safe limits to actually achieve what needs to be achieved, and do so with some personal understanding about the person that is infront of them?
I think if it works for people, then why not... hell, its better than living with some of the torment that PTSD provides. I believe its like all treatments available, some work for some, some work for others, one thing certainly does not cater everyone though. Give it a try, if it fails you, then move to something else.
If anyone has had success or failures though with TIR, I would love for them to post their personal accounts on the board.
