Rewind Therapy
What is Rewind Therapy?
Rewind Therapy is a specialist therapeutic approach used for trauma, phobias, PTSD and anxiety-related problems. It offers a gentle, non-intrusive way to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories or fears without having to revisit or relive the events in full detail. In a relaxed state you are guided to imagine the memory or fear-trigger as if on a screen, “rewinding” and fast-forwarding it until it no longer holds the same emotional power. The memory remains, but the intensity of fear, flashbacks or physical reactions is reduced or removed.
Key features:
-
You don’t need to describe every detail of the trauma or phobia.
-
It works by creating distance and safety around the memory or fear response.
-
Often the change is felt quickly—sometimes after one session.
-
Works well alongside other therapy methods or as a focused treatment for specific trauma or phobia.
How Does It Work?
The process involves guiding the client into a deeply relaxed state, often likened to a meditative or trance-like condition. Once relaxed, the therapist leads the client to imagine their traumatic memory as if it's a movie playing on a screen. The client then mentally rewinds and fast-forwards this "movie" at high speed, reducing its emotional charge each time. Over several repetitions, the memory loses its distressing impact, allowing the individual to recall it without triggering anxiety or flashbacks.
