Hello and welcome

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) Therapy

Traumatic Incident Reduction therapy is a one-on-one therapeutic technique performed by trained professionals, called “facilitators,” in a highly structured manner. TIR is considered a rapid therapy form as it may not last as long as traditional methods. Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes in length and generally offered weekly. The number of needed sessions is determined by each individual and their specific needs and progress.

TIR can work to improve negative thoughts and emotions; therefore, it can help to lower stress and anxiety, enhance a positive mindset, and increase pleasure. It can also help people to recognize their potential more fully and therefore become more self-efficient and have a greater expectancy of success.

I have more than 20 years of experience in counselling and work on Companion Animal grief, War Veteran Trauma, Group Debriefing and Individual Trauma.

Traumatic Incident Reduction E-Notes

“In deciding truth or falsity, all we have to go on is our own life experience. We have no direct knowledge of things outside our experience. Epistemology, the study of how we know things, is senior to ontology, the study of what exists. We must start with what we know from our experience to arrive at a view of what does or does not exist. But that does not mean that there is no reliable way of determining truth or falsehood.” – Frank A Gerbode, MD

Fear of Future Events (Probable or Improbable)

by Frank A Gerbode. MD

As you may know, Traumatic Incident Reduction is excellent for resolving painful memories of stressful past events. What if your attention is stuck, not on the past but the future? What can be done about that? You might think that nothing can be done, since the event we dread has not happened (yet). Good news, there is an application known as – you guessed it – “Future TIR” that works very well.

Here are a few examples where Future TIR may be useful:

Fear of loss of a loved one
Fear of loss of a job or career
Fear of a medical condition, injury or accident
Fear of a social shaming event

(Specific case examples in the article if you follow “Read More…”)

It is possible that such fears may be rooted in the past. If so, we can address them with TIR. At the same time, being a person-centered method, Applied Metapsychology (the larger subject of which TIR is a key part), uses your attention and interest to discover the most useful way to proceed.

Dear TIR Association Members –

Very good news! Former Detective Chief Superintendent with London Metropolitan Police and Borough Commander for Kensington and Chelsea, Ellie O’Connor will speak at this year’s Symposium!
