I expect taht was partly TIC, but as you probably know, one of my family's cars is a TC auto (the Golf diesel). I don't drive it like a go kart, I listen to the engine note and encourage it to change gears when I want it to by subtle use of the throttle. This helps smooth out gear changes (even TC autos can be jerky if not driven with skill) and is a more mechanically sympathetic method overall.
