The Rewind technique is deceptively simple to use, yet it is highly effective. Dr Muss himself claims an 80% success rate using his technique, however this figure is likely to differ from therapist to therapist and to be influenced by client group. As well as PTSD the technique is also used to help with panic attacks and phobias.
The aim of the technique is to help sufferers put the traumatic incident behind them by stopping unwanted thoughts and images intruding during their day to day lives. It is known as the Rewind Technique due to the use of the clients memory of the event to ‘experience’ rewinding occurrences of the incident(s) in their own mind’s eye.
The technique can be practiced 'content free' which means that the therapist can use the technique without having to know details of the incident. This is often a relief to clients who may otherwise have difficulties discussing their experiences.
It is also an advantage as the client does not experience unnecessary re-telling of their story, and the upset that this can cause.
It is believed that the process works as the traumatic memory is 're-processed' and re-encoded in the brain. This re-encoding stops the automatic triggering of the fight or flight response whenever the memory is accessed and it is this process which stops the unwanted symptoms of PTSD from occurring.
it is from the human givens
