Group Consultation Calls

Level 2 Consultation Calls

When: 10:00-10:50 am Central Time Every Wednesday (some holiday exceptions).

One-hour group calls are hosted bi-weekly by an ITR Instructor. These calls allow the learner to participate and learn from others presenting, get questions answered, and present the full ITR process (1-5) and 2 Graphic Narratives and 2 Externalized Dialogues to the group.  If a person needs to update any section of their presentation this will be noted and reported to the presenter after the call. Coaching will be given during the call so all participants can learn. Please come with a student's heart to learn and be coached. ITR is very specific to make sure you are addressing the science behind the process and will really help the client heal.

The calls are designed to help learners advance quickly in their skill level, be comfortable with resolving simple traumas and succeed in the exit call for level 2 certification.

1. ITR recommended assessments (how to score and interpret them) See ITR Specialist Resources  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1VoELj_i9uodLdIXwQpzbnYcxMK2zklJX?usp=sharing
2. How you would explain psycho-education and why ITR works to a client.
3. A Safe Place sample with description and guidelines used
4. True-Self and Parts explained with an example of a Parts map
5. A sample and explanation of building a Timeline and coding it
6. A simple (or extended) Graphic Narrative (2 needed)
7. A sample of Unidentified/Guided Externalized Dialogue after GN re-presentation (2 needed)

It is recommended to work with another ITR training participant and do some of your own work together.

You may also enroll two, or three volunteer subjects (like a friend or colleague at your agency.  Often a spouse, family member, or a client is not the best choice for this exercise.

Sign-up through email or a call when you are ready to present.

The exit call consists of a new full presentation of 1-7 and must be acceptable to be certified. 

By the end of the exit call, you will have presented the full process (1-5) twice and 3 Graphic Narratives, and 3 Externalized Dialogues. 

Calls must be completed within 6 months.

Private consultations are available and may be helpful with individual concerns or case consultations.

If you miss a Wednesday call it's understandable. Just come back when you can. 

Use the checklist to be certain you have included all the elements things for your presentations.  

A learner must show competency in facilitating ITR to demonstrate they are confident with the process and are able to keep fidelity to the ITR model. Learning objectives are:

• Show your ability to work with a client and apply the ITR tasks effectively.
• Facilitate a full ITR program session from start to finish as if doing it with a client.

Successful completion of the exit call results in becoming a Level 2 ITR Certified® Trauma Specialist (ITR-CTS).

The certification is good for 2 years.

Call Policies:

Calls must be completed within 6 months.

48-hour cancellation policy.

The best practice is to do your first presentation within the first 5 calls.

We may not be able to reschedule you if you cancel and are running out of calls you must book a 30- minute private consultation call to finish.

1. Be prepared: Do not sign up to present a Graphic Narrative or Externalized Dialogue until you have checked your work with the ITR checklist. Presentations must address all areas on the ITR checklist. Please bring an appropriate story.

The instructor will stop any re-presentation they feel is inappropriate.

A. Have completed assessments and know what they mean (agency-required assessments are accepted if you can not administer the ITR recommended assessments). 

B. Have a Graphic Narrative® re-presentation recorded to share on Zoom.

C. Have a completed Unidentified/Guided Externalized Dialogue® written out to share on Zoom. 

2. Be courteous: Video on. Be muted. Raise your hand if you have a question at the end of the presentation.    

3. Be responsible: Please be aware this material can be triggering. Know how to ground yourself and please keep the calls private. If you are in your home NO CHILDREN or others should be present to hear or see these calls.

4. Get practice: Please work with a colleague or any individual who is open to processing a simple story. Practice right away after the course to get the best results. The ITR Community has a place to seek out peer-to-peer connections for doing this practice work on this website.
