Differences Between TIR and Other Methods
Although certain discrete elements of Traumatic Incident Reduction can be found in other methods, the technique, when taken as a whole, is unique in the following ways:
TIR is highly directive, yet non-interpretive and non-evaluative TIR is based on the creation of a safe space by employing:
A definite division of labor between facilitator and viewer Stringent rules prohibiting interpretations and judgements Powerful and precise communications skills
Applied-Metapsychology sessions have no fixed length; you stop a session when the viewer reaches an appropriate end point.
TIR handles emotional charge resulting not only from what has been done to the viewer but also what he/she has done to others, observed others doing to others, and has done to self.
TIR uses repetition as a powerful tool to reduce charge after it has been located. TIR is systematic, and requires a minimum of special ability on the part of the facilitator.
TIR can be learned more quickly and easily than most traditional approaches.
