EMDR therapy and counselling for trauma and PTSD
REWIND therapy is a safe, fast and effective treatment for PTSD and other symptoms caused by psychological trauma. Many of us will face trauma at some time in our lives. Witnessing or experiencing an event that causes fear, helplessness or horror can produce an intense, emotional response leading to the development of PTSD.
Symptoms may include a combination of emotional and behavioural difficulties, intrusive memories, avoidance and numbing. Psychological trauma is any sudden, shocking unexpected event that overwhelms our ability to respond adequately. These events include, but are not limited to:
PTSD is treatable even when problems persist many years after the traumatic event. It is never too late to seek help. During the Rewind Technique, you access the trauma whilst in a safe, relaxed state.
I will guide you through a sequence of observing the trauma in forward 'film' and then in rewind. We will do this as many times as necessary in a single session. I will talk you through the process and ensure you always stay relaxed. This allows the brain to reprocess and store the traumatic memory as an ordinary, albeit unpleasant, and non-threatening memory rather than one that continually activates a terror response.
People often say that after REWIND they are surprised that they don’t feel ‘bothered’ by the trauma anymore. The event is not forgotten, but when recalled it doesn’t pack the same punch, so it won’t be accompanied by those old feelings of anxiety, fear or panic.
The cost of REWIND therapy is £160 including a follow up session. Payment is required within 24 hours of booking.
If we are treating a single traumatic incident, I would expect a good result after one session of REWIND therapy. However, the trauma you have been through will be different from what someone else has endured. All our minds are beautifully diverse, which means I can't promise you a level of result after one treatment.
For multiple or complex trauma, we will deal with the most difficult ordeal in the first session, and then if necessary move onto the others in subsequent sessions. You will find that once the worst memories are dealt with, the power goes out of related memories too.
REWIND therapy can be carried out in your own home via video call. To maintain confidentiality, please ensure you have use of a room where you will not be overheard or disturbed.
Although research into the Rewind Technique is still in its infancy, one study carried out by the Human Givens Institute in the UK showed the following results on a study size of 30 people.
No one rated the Rewind Technique poor or as a failure.
This represents an improvement of 167.4 per cent on their original ratings.
A four-year study carried out within NOVA (part of the Barnardo's charity) showed similarly impressive results:
Study size: 47 people, 57% of whom were treated with Rewind alone.
