Past Trauma and PTSD
Rewind Trauma Therapy and PTSD
“The Rewind ” (Closure Without Disclosure) for adults and children
I have experienced trauma myself. Fear, anxiety and panic, shock – difficulty believing in what has happened, feeling detached and confused, feeling numb. Not wanting to connect with others or becoming withdrawn from those around you…
I used The Rewind Therapy. And it worked!
The Rewind Therapy (RT) has become internationally recognised as indispensable to treat PTSD.It is easily learnt; applicable to survivors trans culturally and usually requires no more than two sessions to bring about closure for single traumas.
Sexual Abuse
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: The client was sexually abused as a 6-year-old, 21 years earlier.
Before Treatment: “The smell of alcohol made we want to be sick as did if anyone grabbed my arms – the abuser used to grab my arms. I suffered flashbacks and dreams of what happened. I didn’t like going out. I was called a hermit. I was not a nice person to look at – this is how I felt inside. I wanted to be on my own.”
After treatment: “I don’t have any more flashbacks and the smell of alcohol doesn’t bother me anymore. Generally I feel like a different person, more confident and outgoing – whereas I used to be petrified. I don’t feel like a six-year-old any more. People now invite me out socially.”
Car accident
Client brain injured a child who ran out in front of her car one month earlier.
Before Treatment: “I was unable to sleep, I had flashbacks and was very emotional.”
After Treatment: “I felt like a new person. I no longer get flashbacks. I can remember the incident but it is in the back of my mind. I have the ability to deal with the issues.”
The results are enduring – a follow up of two years showed no relapses in that period of time.The Rewind is different from other imaginal exposure therapies because no details are disclosed to the therapist Hence the treatment is known as “closure without disclosure”.
The benefits of non disclosure include:
Minimizing the risk of the client being re-traumatized.
There is no fear of disclosing sensitive information e.g. In the case of servicemen, for example, about deployment.
For survivors of rape and sexual abuse the benefit of not having to disclose details of the event to a stranger is self-evident
Minimizing the risk to the counsellor of developing compassion fatigue, particularly for those therapists involved with heavy workloads.
When someone suffers flashbacks, panic attacks, phobic responses, or high levels of anxieties, a small part of the brain called the amygdala is responsible. This is part of the brain which helps activate the fight/flight response when we are in danger. If the ‘fear’ is trapped in the amygdala (there are a number of reason why this might happen) then any trigger can cause the fear feelings to rise again.
Rewind Therapy allows another part of the brain called the hippocampus to calm the amygdala down and allow the experience/event which caused the fear to become a ‘normal’ memory and therefore cause no more Panic, anxiety or flashbacks.

How Can Rewind Help?
Excellent way to permanently stop involuntary recall of traumas.
The Rewind will not erase your memory of the traumatic event – you will be able to remember it if you choose to – but it should stop involuntary recall in the form of flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks and other unwanted symptoms. As with any therapy, results aren’t guaranteed, but the Rewind Technique is estimated to be effective in reducing PTSD symptoms in about 80% of people. If you are struggling to get help for your trauma symptoms, whether because of waiting lists or financial constraints, the Rewind Technique is well worth trying.
