How does TIR work? How is it similar to something like EMDR (Eye Motion Desensitization & Reprocessing?
Both are direct exposure techniques, meaning that they get results by having trainer practitioners help the client resolve the negative effects of past experiences by looking at them, being exposed to them. Besides the differences in how each is done, one main difference is that while EMDR can leave a client in a state of restimulation at the end of a session due to many traumatic incidents having been touched upon, TIR has the client focus on one incident or series of closely related incidents in one session. In the great majority of cases a TIR session ends with the client feeling complete and satisfied that what has been opened up in that session is complete.
