What is Traumatic Incident Reduction Therapy?

Traumatic Incident Reduction, or TIR, is a method designed to help you process and let go of the emotional charge tied to painful memories. Developed by Dr. Frank Gerbode, TIR is a structured yet personal process that works by revisiting those experiences in a safe, supportive environment. It’s not about re-traumatizing you, it’s about giving your mind the space to finally process what it’s been holding onto.


This therapy has helped countless people reduce anxiety, release fear, and gain peace after experiences that once felt overwhelming. Research shows that TIR can be highly effective in addressing intrusive thoughts and emotional stress, giving you the freedom to move forward with confidence and clarity.

How Does Trauma Incident Reduction Differ From Other Trauma Therapies?

Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR) stands out from other trauma therapies in a few important ways:


Quick and Effective: TIR works faster than most traditional therapy methods, often helping people feel better in fewer sessions.


Client-Focused and Organized: This method puts you in charge of your healing process while following a clear, step-by-step approach that keeps everything structured and focused.


Safe Space for Healing: TIR lets you revisit and work through past traumas in a safe, judgment-free environment without anyone interpreting or analyzing your experiences for you.


Clear End Goal: Every TIR session has a clear stopping point, where you’ve reached emotional relief and can refocus on the present.


Rewriting How You Store Memories: TIR helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so you can fully heal, instead of just learning to cope or relying on someone else’s guidance.
