Rewind Trauma Therapy

Freedom from Trauma starts here

Trauma is a normal response to an abnormal event. Your reaction to what you have experienced is understandable. But the trouble is?

Trauma feels like hell

At best? The effects of trauma are irritating rather than debilitating. But these effects can last for years without treatment.

At worst? Trauma can turn life upside down.

Trauma changes people

Trauma can feel like the real you has been lost

Like all normal life has ended. And there’s no way back. You might not even remember what ‘normal’ feels like.

But some traumas can be more subtle. Life may seem good. But an unresolved trauma can lead to more subtle long term changes in emotions & behaviour.

Either way? All these normal trauma symptoms make life harder than it needs to be.

So given the strong and complex emotional responses a traumatic experience can lead to?

It’s only natural to want change

“Everything’s changed – I feel so much better!”

– Jo (Traffic Collision)

Rewind Trauma Therapy is Freedom from Trauma

Most people associate trauma with years of therapy. They expect sessions to be emotional, draining and painful. And that’s just for one traumatic event…

REWIND MAKES THERAPY EASIER

The rewind trauma technique (RTT) is fast and effective. You don’t even need to talk about the trauma for Rewind to be successful.

– SB (Bullying)

When Rewind combines with Hypnotherapy the ‘head based’ work of Rewind is balanced with the somatic & calming qualities of soothing Hypnotherapy.

And whilst the old ‘map it out’ style reframe is rightly regarded as outdated? The confidence building methods of solution focused therapy & hypnotherapy can naturally rebuild your self perception in a truly comfortable way.

“I am amazed that your Rewind sessions could make such a difference!”

– PK

I help traumatised clients who are:

1. Effected after a single trauma
2. Struggling with 2 or 3 separate traumas
3. Symptomatic following years of trauma
4. Overwhelmed by the complexities of trauma
5. Suffering from common symptoms of anxiety, low mood, fear, phobic responses or avoidance. But are unsure if these symptoms are caused by a known trauma
6. Undiagnosed
7. Diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress disorder, Complex PTSD or birth trauma
8. Seeking therapy after a recent trauma
9. Seeking therapy decades after the trauma

Whatever the reason?

What is Rewind Trauma Therapy?

Rewind Trauma Therapy helps the mind to recognise a trauma as a past event. This means the mind can view the event or events from a controlled, non-threatening perspective without connecting to the emotions. Rather than its current state of fear and danger.

The Rewind is different from other imaginal exposure therapies because details do not need to be disclosed to the therapist.

And there’s no need to talk about your past.

Originating from NLP Rewind is also often described as a visual-kinaesthetic dissociation technique. Rewind has been updated with the most effective method being the Dr David Muss Rewind – Rewind Trauma Therapy.

How does Hypnotherapy help trauma?

Think of hypnotherapy as a holistic continuum. When you set out to positively change one thing? Other things start improving as well.

So whilst Rewind helps to file away past trauma into long term memory. Hypnotherapy helps with the knock on effect of all the other problems caused by trauma.

Because trauma doesn’t just cause flashbacks, fear and intrusive memories.

TRAUMA CAN DEEPLY EFFECT YOUR SENSE OF SELF ASWELL

How does the rewind technique work?

First let’s look at how non-threatening memories vs traumatic memories are processed.

Normal events are passed from short-term memory to long-term memory through part of the brain called the hippocampus.

During a traumatic experience the natural survival mechanism (fight/flight/freeze response) activates and floods the body and mind with stress hormones.

Stress hormones can stop the hippocampus from processing disturbing events in the same way as normal events. This means the event can get stuck in short-term memory where it continues to feel present or like a threat. This means the memory of the traumatising event keeps triggering the stress responses.

Rewind is a logical technique that allows the mind to see the traumatic incident from a calm, dissociative perspective.

So the trauma stops feeling like a threat.

Rewind helps the brain process the trauma like a normal event.  So the trauma memory passes into long term memory where the mind has emotional control (as it does all other non-traumatic memories) and helps to calm the central nervous system.

The Rewind Technique is nuanced

Establishing your role is one of the keys to rewinds success. So we will establish if you were the:

• Victim
• Onlooker
• First responder
• Offender
• 3rd party after the event
• Therapist

What can you expect in your first session?

Events: If you have experienced multiple traumas we will prioritise what to rewind and in what order. Lifting the emotional & psychological effects of the most ‘triggering’ events is the key to success.

IES: I will read you a series of statements on a form called an IES (impact of events) form. Your answers will help us decide if rewind is helpful and which events to rewind first.

Role: Establishing whether you are the victim, onlooker or other will inform our methods within the rewind technique.

Rewind: I will talk through the technique and explain how to do it from a non-emotional perspective. Staying non-emotional is not needed for therapy to be successful – it is for your comfort.

Repetition: We will repeat it several times until you are happy that you completed fully. After each repetition, you can expect to find it easier and more calming.

Assessment: I will ask you a series of simple questions after each rewind to check that you followed instructions. I shall give you feed back and offer to repeat the rewind.

Repetition: Be reassured that everyone needs to repeat this at least 4 or 5 times in a session to be sure that we have done enough. And the technique takes just 2 minutes.

It’s explaining what to do that takes the time

What happens in the Rewind?

During Rewind I will ask you to:

• Imagine the trauma as a film on a screen
• Play that film through a fast forward and a faster rewind
• Start the film from a ‘good’ moment before the usual start of the traumatic intrusions ( I will help you identify this good starting place)
• Stop the film at the worst possible point
• Include what you imagined as well as what happened
• Enjoy the increasing sense of calm you will experience
• Do enough repetitions to get it right

Healing without Revealing

This is about healing – not raking over the past.

So tell me what happened. Or don’t. Do what feels right for you.

Don’t dig into the trauma. Don’t relive the trauma.

Because unlike other therapies?

You don’t need to:

• Describe the trauma over and over…
• Share all the traumatic details….
• Focus on all the triggers…
• Relive the events

And I won’t ask you to tell me about your childhood!

This is healing without revealing.

Time to leave trauma behind

Therapy shouldn’t be traumatic

Unlike other trauma therapies. You don’t need to ‘build yourself up’ before sessions. You don’t have to talk about the traumatic event for this to work. Unless of course you want to.

Because therapy should be comfortable.

And Rewind Trauma Therapy is certainly comfortable

So this is a gentle process. That does involve work. But you can come to therapy feeling reassured. Knowing that sessions will get easier and easier.

Are you ready to start living again?

“It feels completely different. I know we did a good job!”

Set Yourself Free

Symptoms of trauma are resolvable.

A calm mind is just a few sessions away.

Expect to feel better after every single session.

And look out for the positive changes – they might surprise you!

Because holistic approach combines the best of multiple trauma therapies to help regulate body & mind to a renewed normal.

When the mind experiences something deeply stressful it goes into emergency mode (fight/flight/freeze). Most people will naturally find their mind settles within a few weeks. But when the mind get’s stuck in the trauma leads to symptoms of hyper-stimulation, avoidance, flash backs, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, fear and more. 

Long term unresolved trauma can lead to chronic anxiety, anger, guilt, low mood or depression, including post natal depression. And can be linked to disordered eating, eating disorders & addictions.

It’s normal – but not helpful.

So let’s start lifting this with a therapeutic transformation therapy that helps to resolve even the little things.

Rewind trauma therapy & trauma informed hypnotherapy gently combine to help lift the symptoms of trauma, sooth the central nervous system and reprogram the mind to a state of calm.

Are you ready to come alive again?

There’s no need to struggle

Trauma is one of the most damaging and stressful conditions a person can suffer.

And whilst almost everyone will experience trauma in their life time, for most it gets filed away into long term memory and ‘parked’. But for a small unfortunate few, this doesn’t happen.

This can lead to symptoms of trauma, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt and more. For some it leads to increased anxiety or fear across all aspects of life. For others the traumatic event stays vivid and real. Trauma can leave a person in a constant spiral of fight/flight/freeze, making the normal ‘you’ feel like a world away.

Trauma is resolvable. And you can be free of it.
