Q:How long have you been a TIR trainer?
A:Since 2018
A:Since 2018
Q:What inspired you to become a TIR trainer?
A:I saw the results using TIR and wanted to equip other people. There are many other techniques that people are using in South Africa. None of them help people the way TIR does. I saw a lot of people that came to see me after they have been to psychologists, and TIR was the thing that brought the healing. I want more and more people to be equipped to help other people properly. South Africa is a traumatized country and we desperately need people to be equipped with a technique that can be learned in a short amount of time.

Q:What do you find rewarding about it?
A:When I hear the stories of people that have been trained and started using TIR it is rewarding. Hearing how they applied what they have learned and telling with excitement what the outcome is, it is definitely rewarding.

Q:Are you willing to travel to deliver training, if so under what conditions?
A:Yes I am. I would like my expenses to be covered and also that everything must be taken care of for example the venue, food etc.

Q:Do you have a private practice?
A:Yes I do. I am a Minister and see a lot of my congregation members, but I also see any person that wants to be helped. The same with training. I already trained with Yvonne Retief some of the people in the congregation and we also did workshops in other towns with non-congregation people.

Q:Besides TIR, what other things are you interested in?
A:do a lot of reading on trauma and the physiology that is going on in the brain with trauma. I also read a lot and work with parents on the prevention of trauma in children. Together with that we are busy, in our congregation to look into ways and doing research to establish mechanisms to help children in a systemic way in the local school and community to cope with difficult circumstances. We are establishing an after school centre where we can work with the families and the individual child in resolving dysfunctional behavior.

Q:Describe your professional background.
A:I first studied ecology and did my masters degree in that. Then I studied theology for six years and started to work in the Dutch Reformed Church as a minister. After I did my training in TIR my ministry changed a lot so that at the moment a lot of my time goes into helping people with the techniques of AMP. I also do a lot work with children, using TIR and other play therapy techniques.
