Our new websites empower our community though a new 'members area' with information on IDT Peer Support Groups, and IDT Supervisors, access to our Thousand Words flyer and course and personal details. We also send regular emails with discussions and hints and tips of how and when to use IDT. Forums, and demonstrational videos are on their way in 2015 as well.
IDT has a strong community, with over 8,000 granduates, Peer Support, and Supervisors networks, wide recognition and accreditation, and several articles on IDT published in academic journals. We are also keen to help resource and facilitate more research into the uses, processes and effectiveness of the IDT modality going. If you would like to contribute to any or all of these then please contact us.

We all face turbulence in life, increasingly so in the busy world we live in. With the increasing visibility and presence of wars and conflict, disease and pestilence, death and chaos, one would be forgiven for thinking the world is approaching the apocalypse. But turbulence is more than an environment full of metaphorical horsemen. Turbulence can be interpreted as a lack of direction, decreased visibility, increased confusion, and disruption to ones path.
The modern world is a hectic place and we are constantly stimulated by external stimuli. Often it’s only when you go somewhere really silent, and ‘off the grid’ that we realize how much is going on around us. I guess this may be partially why people are now averse to introspection. When we are overwhelmed by the outside world the inside one is just too daunting.
Context is a very powerful thing. Much more than a catch phrase for politicians caught out with a gaff (“I may have said that but you’re taking it completely out of context”). It can mean the difference between a message and meaning, a pretence and an inner truth, and even one’s definition of right and wrong.
