Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) involves re-experiencing past traumas in a completely safe environment, free of distractions, judgments, or interpretations. Positive outcomes include but are not limited to:
- Relief from anxiety, guilt, and dread of what the future may bring
- Reduction of intrusive thoughts of past traumatic incidents; these incidents lose their power over you
- Relief from the sometimes overwhelming pain of bereavement and reconnecting with the love you felt for a lost loved one
- Relief from second-guessing what you should have or shouldn’t have done in a crisis
