Traumatic Incident Reduction and Life Stress Reduction (TIR)

Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) is an integrative mindfulness-oriented approach to counselling, best known for addressing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The broader subject of TIR and Life Stress Reduction provides a well developed, thorough and coherent model for mindfulness-based case-formulation and integrative mindfulness-based counselling.

The broader subject of metapsychology is a systematic approach for enabling detached, non-judgmental observation of almost any inner or outer world event, whether cognitive, emotive, physiological, behavioural or other.

Tools are varied, person-focused and applied in order to:

1. maintain congruence with the client's own experience
2. to maximise client engagement moment to moment, and
3. to cater to the client's mental resources and problem type at a given time.

The approach also consists of useful strategies for accessing awareness the client was previously unable to access. The broader subject of metapsychology is also multimodal, consisting of coaching methods for affecting behavioural changes in the service of specific values (c.f. ACT).

All tools enable the client to achieve greater equanimity with respect to his/her mental and physical environments.
