THE REWIND TECHNIQUE


The Rewind Technique | The Wellness Directory LtdThe Rewind technique is a non-intrusive, safe and highly effective psychological method for detraumatising people, which can also be used for removing phobias. It should be carried out by an experienced practitioner and is only performed once a person is in a state of deep relaxation.

When they are fully relaxed, they are encouraged to bring their anxiety to the surface and then are calmed down again by being guided to recall or imagine a place where they feel totally safe and at ease.

Their relaxed state is then deepened and they are asked to imagine that, in their special safe place, they have a TV set and a video player with a remote control facility. They are asked to imagine floating to one side, out of body, and to watch themselves watching the screen, without actually seeing the picture (creating a double dissociation). They watch themselves watching a 'film' of the traumatic event that is still affecting them. The film begins at a point before the trauma occurred and ends at a point at which the trauma is over and they feel safe again They are then asked, in their imagination, to float back into their body and experience themselves going swiftly backwards through the trauma, from safe point to safe point, as if they were a character in a video that is being rewound. Then they watch the same images but as if on the TV screen while pressing the fast forward button (dissociation)

All this is repeated back and forth, at whatever speed feels comfortable, and as many times as needed, till the scenes evoke no emotion from the client.

If the feared circumstance is one that will be confronted again in the future — for instance, driving a car or using a lift — the person is asked, while still relaxed, to see themselves doing so confidently.

Besides being safe, quick and painless, the technique has the advantage of being non-voyeuristic. Intimate details do not have to be made public.


REWIND for Trauma and Phobia


With this highly effective technique almost all traumas and phobias can be cleared in just one session of 1–1½  hours.  It is safe, quick and painless, with no drugs, diets or follow-up tasks to be done at home.

A huge advantage is that it is not at all distressing to the client - in fact, true healing cannot occur if the client is stressed in any way.  Therefore the client is kept calm, relaxed and feeling safe throughout the whole therapy treatment.  This enables the brain to fully process the event into 'past' memory, so that the distressing symptoms can no longer be triggered by any sensory (or other) reminders.

The session consists of assisting the client into a deeply relaxed state, and maintaining this enjoyable relaxation whilst guiding him/her to review the event in various ways, using dissociation techniques and particular sequences.  Clients report the process as an enjoyable experience that has successfully freed them from their discomfort.
