Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is a method of psychotherapy that allows a person to desensitize painful experiences and reduce or eliminate the negative impact of traumatic, overwhelming events. TIR is person-centered and allows for the effective reduction of traumatic incidents. TIR involves re-experiencing past traumas in a completely safe environment, free of distractions, judgments, or interpretations. TIR is highly directive, yet non-interpretive and non-evaluative. TIR relies on the creation of a safe space, handles emotional charge experienced by the client, and utilizes powerful and precise communication. As TIR can help to resolve the negative charge of past traumatic incidents and bring about a greatly improved quality of life in a short period of time, it is often engaged with in tandem with Life Stress Reduction techniques.
