FAQs

1. What is the Ibrido Method?

The Ibrido Method is a neuroscience-informed framework that gives practitioners a practical, step-by-step process for addressing emotional distress and the effects of trauma. It integrates established frameworks and techniques from Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Memory Reconsolidation, and Progressive Counting. Training blends these foundations with practical instruction so you can confidently apply the method in your own work with clients.

2. Who is the Ibrido Method training best suited for?

The training is open to licensed mental health professionals, coaches, and peer support specialists who work within their professional scope of practice. It is appropriate for those serving clients in a variety of settings, including private practice, community agencies, recovery programs, inpatient treatment, and structured short-term programs such as IOP or PHP.

3. How do I know whether the Ibrido Method is right for me and my clients?

The Ibrido Method can be a good fit whether you are new to the field and looking for a clear, structured way to approach trauma work, or you are an experienced practitioner wanting to add a flexible, neuroscience-informed method to your existing toolbox. It is especially well-suited for professionals who value approaches that go beyond detailed verbal retelling and who want strategies that can be adapted to different clients and settings.

4. Can I integrate this method with other modalities I already use?

Yes. The Ibrido Method is flexible. You can use it as a complete, standalone protocol or select specific elements to combine with other approaches you already practice. This makes it easy to fit with your personal style while still keeping the method’s core principles intact.

5. How is the Ibrido Method different from other trauma treatment models?

The Ibrido Method does not require clients to move their eyes, tap, or recount traumatic events in detail. It focuses on helping clients reach a regulated state and then guiding the integration of memories and sensations within a structured sequence. This allows for effective processing without sometimes distracting physical actions or potentially retraumatizing storytelling.

6. Is there research on the Ibrido Method?

A doctoral dissertation focused on the Ibrido Method is in progress, with findings expected by May 2026. While formal research on the method itself is forthcoming, the training is based on established, evidence-informed theories and techniques.

7. Is the Ibrido Method appropriate for working with veterans or first responders?

Yes, when applied within scope of practice. The method’s focus on regulation and adaptable processing can be a good fit for populations that may prefer approaches not requiring detailed verbal recounting. Training includes discussion of veteran-specific considerations, such as moral injury.

8. What can I expect from training?

This training combines conceptual instruction with demonstrations and guided practice. Participants learn core concepts and practice the steps in small groups to support appropriate use in their work. This training provides 7 continuing education hours (CEs) for eligible professionals.

9. Will this training qualify me to use the Ibrido Method with clients right away?

Yes. Completion of the training provides the knowledge and practice needed to begin integrating the method within your professional role and scope. Certification in the Ibrido Method is included at no extra charge for participants who complete the required training components.
