Traumatic Incident Reduction is a one on one, person centered,
structured method of therapy that is effective for permanently
eliminating the negative impacts of past traumas. The therapy is
simple and brief. The method was created by Frank A. Gerbode. He
is a graduate Stanford University, Cambridge University and Yale
University. Traumatic Incident Reduction Basic Setup The client,
known as the “viewer” is assisted by the therapist called the
“facilitator”. Traumatic Incident Reduction is a process in
which the client views a traumatic memory in their mind under
specific conditions which are meant to enhance safety and
minimize distractions. The incident is viewed from the beginning
to the end. The facilitator is only to give appropriate
instructions to help them to view the incident in its entirety
and keep the structure of the session on course. The facilitator
offers no opinions, no evaluation or interpretation, no advice
or reassurance. How a Traumatic Incident Reduction Session Works
