Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) can improve or even eliminate for most people the negative impact of traumatic events and painful incidents; the loss of a loved one, a serious conflict, a separation, a car accident, a form of abuse, etc. The consequences are often anxiety, anger, irritability or other unwanted or unexplained emotions.
​
Stress Reduction (Life Stress Reduction - LSR) is a complementary approach that allows the person to reduce emotional suffering and bring greater clarity and comfort in difficulties: complicated relationships, lack of self-confidence, problems of work and career, financial problems, health concerns, anxiety, fear of the future.
​
TIR is a brief, simple one-on-one method for removing the negative effects of past traumatic events within a person-centered context. For more information on the modality of Traumatic Incident Reduction please visit www.tira.org.
WHAT IS A TRAUMATIC INCIDENT?
Life is made of ‘times when’. Imagine each of those times as an activity cycle. Each cycle has an intention: to have fun, to be loved, to be safe, to succeed, go somewhere, etc. Finishing, closing the cycle is crucial. We do poorly when we have many incomplete cycles. Fulfilling the intention is one way of completing the cycle. We can also consciously end the intention. TIR is another way of closing the cycles. It helps recover full awareness of the incidents and any intentions you may have formulated during it and to let go of the incident. It becomes no longer unfinished business and no longer traumatic.
