Rewind Technique and You

The Rewind Technique Review


In one of my previous postings we looked at how the allostatic response of some individuals, which is the ability to calm and rebalance after stress, can become impaired and that this often leads to a wide array of physical and emotional discomforts.

One risk factor in allostatic dysfunction is when toxic memories have not been processed correctly. Some authorities estimate up to 30% of people exposed to a traumatic event will have lingering symptoms as a result and this includes 5% of men and 10% of women in the general population.

Fearful and upsetting situations activate the body's fight or flight response and the emotions take precedent over thinking so that you will take decisive action. Careful contemplation is not a good idea when being chased by a wild dog!

For some time afterwards the sights, sounds, smells or sensations associated with the hazard may for a time trigger fear.  An example, someone exposed to an explosion may panic when they hear fireworks or a car backfire.

Under ideal circumstances, eventually the memories lose their emotional charge and become part of what is known as narrative memory. You remember what happened, but it no longer bothers you that much and the memory is not readily triggered.

However for some the memories do not get past the emotional part of the brain and sort of remained trapped there.

One sign that a memory has not undergone the healing transformation is that it will seem more fresh and vivid than other recollections from that time. Maybe years or decades have passed yet it seems like the event happened yesterday or last week.

During the past year I was fortunate enough to complete a training on what is known as the Rewind Technique, which enables people to move past the effect of toxic memories rather quickly.

Although the basic premise for the method has been around for a long time, recent refinements have been made that enable it to not only rapidly resolve upsetting memories quickly but comfortably as well. In fact, a basic premise is that if the client is experiencing stress or discomfort during the Rewind Technique, the practitioner is not doing it right.

So far I have seen very positive results by integrating this method into my practice and welcome any questions you may have about it. You can connect by calling me directly at (732) 714-7040
