Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR)

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is a short term therapy for people of all ages who have been exposed to violent crimes, natural disasters, abuse, war, traumatic bereavement or other emotionally disturbing events. TIR is specifically aimed at resolving the symptoms of a range of shock induced conditions, including PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) integrates the emotional and cognitive memory. While some sessions generally last 90-120 minutes, it may be necessary for the client to attend repeated sessions to reduce residual distress. Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is an effective and highly recommended therapy for people who have been exposed to distressing events or situations.
