The Tearless Trauma Technique was developed by Gary Craig to help clients deal with traumatic events too intense to even think about, TTT is gentle on the client but as effective as any other approach. As with EFT in general its simplicity should not be overlooked.

Start by having the client identify the problem from a distance, making sure they understand that they are not to talk or even think about the problem yet. Ask them what they think the intensity level would be if they were to visualize the event/problem. Now treat this probable feeling with EFT in the standard way.

‘Even though if I were to think about this event I would be very angry, I deeply and
completely love and accept myself’

Once they have reached a 0, have them start to slowly get closer and clearer in their mind to the event. As with the story approach treat each step that brings up the intensity level, until all stages are complete and the client can not only think about, but describe in vivid detail the event without any emotional intensity.
