What is Rewind Therapy?

So... what is REWIND therapy ??

You may hear this therapy option referred to as a visual- kinaesthetic dissociation technique. This is a formal way of saying that it enables you to review and revisit events in a controlled and dissociative way. You expose yourself to memories without connecting to the emotional and mental impact they create.

The basic principle is that in one relatively short session ( or series of short sessions) a therapist enables you to REWIND to the start of your traumatic experience., without having to re-tell or re live it in a way that potentially adds to its harm.

Benefits of the rewind technique ???

One of the advantages of REWIND therapy in treating the symptoms of PTSD is that its a carefully measured and controlled way to explore traumatic memories.

The person with PTSD can spool back through time, without revealing sensitive or private details of their trauma for example, you don`t need to name an abuser or reveal information about a military or commercial situation during the therapy session.

It can also be used for C-PTSD and other mental health issues that are not connected to `one` specific event. You can REWIND memories and activities over a prolonged period, or replay perceived or imagined threat too as a `Dissociative` technique. Also, we at OVUS and practitioners of this method of treating PTSD believe it to be an excellent way to permanently stop involuntary recall of traumas.

You control the narrative during your session, from start to finish potentially releasing you from spontaneous recollection. Some also believe it is a quick way to address PTSD, as in some cases substantial progress can be made in a single session, or from just two or three guided REWIND experiences. The most commonly mentioned effects that the REWIND technique can have are :

• Increased confidence

• No more flashbacks

• More positive mood

• Ability to speak about the trauma without triggering alarm or difficulty

• No more fear
