Critical Incident Desensitization Protocol- ATIP/CID
When Something Traumatic Just happened...
Critical Incident Desensitization (CID/CIDP) is a brief crisis-intervention approach designed for use following a recent critical or traumatic incident. Rather than requiring you to repeatedly describe everything that happened, CID techniques use brief periods of bilateral or other distracting stimulation while helping you remain grounded in the present.
The goal is to help reduce the intensity of the immediate distress associated with the experience so that your nervous system can begin moving from crisis toward stabilization.
CID may be helpful following experiences such as:
-
Accidents or medical emergencies
-
Sudden or traumatic loss
-
Assault or violence
-
Natural disasters
-
Frightening workplace incidents
-
First-responder or healthcare-related critical incidents
-
Unexpected traumatic news
-
Other recent overwhelming experiences
What is A-TIP?
A-TIP — Acute Traumatic Incident Processing — is another approach developed by Roy Kiessling for responding to recent traumatic experiences.
A-TIP provides a structured way of addressing the thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and disturbing images that can remain highly activated following an overwhelming event.
The focus is not simply on talking about what happened. Instead, the intervention helps the individual remain grounded while working with the parts of the experience that are creating the greatest disturbance.
