Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)
Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is a person-centered yet intensely focused approach to trauma resolution based on the principle that the very act of trying to repress painful memories is what holds them in place and gives them power over the individual.
TIR is designed to examine the cognitive, emotional, perceptual or other content of past incidents, to reduce or eliminate the emotional charge contained in them, and thus to relieve the patient of their negative consequences, whether or not a diagnosis of PTSD applies to the patient.
Traumatic Incident Reduction provides a safe space and the means to fully examine that which had been blocked. In the process, we release our resistance and the painful emotions and negative thought patterns contained in that past trauma.
Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is listed on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices www.tir-nrepp.org. It has also been successful in treating specific phobias, depression, anxiety and addictions.
