WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
We have over 20 years of experience in teaching the rewind technique to health
and welfare professionals – we’ve drawn on that experience to develop a course
which gives you enough time to thorough absorb and practice the technique,
understand why it works and to experience it yourself, so that you leave
confident in your ability to use the rewind safely and effectively.
The Rewind Technique* is an effective psychological intervention for
successfully treating trauma and phobias and one of the most important skills
you need to master to be able to work successfully with any anxiety disorder or
condition which may have developed as a result of unresolved trauma. Even the
most severe phobic and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms can be successfully
addressed using the the rewind technique taught on this 2-day course, which has
been refined
[https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training-workshop/#refined]*
in line with understandings from neuroscience to make it as safe and reliably
effective as possible.
An essential therapeutic technique to have in your therapeutic ‘toolkit’, it is
important to learn and practice it under the careful guidance of our expert
tutor
[https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training-workshop/#note] –
you will leave the course knowing how to use the rewind technique safely and
effectively having watched live demonstrations, had plenty of time to practice
the steps involved with fellow students, the opportunity to experience the
technique yourself and more.
[https://www.humangivens.com/college/rewind-technique-training-workshop/#gain]
Our workshop has limited numbers so you will have plenty of opportunities for
asking questions and the tutor, who has extensive clinical experience.
Using the rewind technique you can, often surprisingly quickly, detraumatise bad
memories, stop flashbacks and other PTSD symptoms, cure phobias, banish
nightmares and reduce anxiety so you can help the victims of abuse, rape,
violence, car accidents, fire, terrorism and panic attacks, heart attacks and
other life-threatening experiences.
Another key benefit of this technique is non disclosure – there is no need for
people to repeatedly revisit or talk about specific details of the events that
have traumatised them. This helps avoid embedding the trauma further and making
the situation worse – as can sometimes inadvertently happen in other therapeutic
approaches to treating trauma – and helps prevent the therapist or counsellor
being vicariously traumatised by what they might hear.
It is also invaluable when working therapeutically with people who have suffered
persistent physical or sexual abuse, and people with OCD. People suffering from
other conditions, such as depression, addictions or uncontrollable anger, may
have experienced a traumatic event, which needs to be successfully detraumatised
in order for them to move on with their lives.
As a result of our training in the rewind technique – which we have been
delivering for over 20 years – our graduates have brought relief to literally
thousands of people (eg. case history / PTSD Resolution).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE
This is a powerful technique, which needs to be implemented with care – we
recommend you take the time to learn it in person in a small group with a
skilled and highly experienced tutor who can guide you through the important
steps involved, oversee you as you practise them, answer your questions and give
you crucial direct feedback. The version of the rewind technique* you will learn
on this course has been refined in line with understandings from neuroscience to
make it as safe and reliably effective as possible.
The course is taught over two days to ensure you have enough time to thoroughly
absorb and practice the steps involved so that you are confident in using it and
know how to do so safely and effectively with clients. You will also learn when
it is NOT appropriate to use this technique and how to ensure you avoid
embedding any trauma further, or making a phobia worse.
Guided imagery and visualisation skills form an essential part of the rewind
technique, which is why they are a requirement for attending this course.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
* How to detraumatise people quickly and safely
* The necessary skills to treat even severe phobias
* Why this version of the rewind technique is so effective, and how it works
Under careful guidance from the tutor, you will:
* revisit key skills for relaxing clients in order to successfully work using
the technique
* walk and talk through a step-by-step breakdown of the rewind technique
* see a live demonstration of working with a phobia or trauma
* practice each stage of the rewind technique in pairs
* practice the entire process, with other course participants, under
supervision
You will also gain:
* Vital tools for psycho-education – both adding to your own understanding and
to pass on to clients
* A clear understanding of the fear response and how PTSD and phobias develop
* The detrimental impact traumas and phobias can have on a person’s life
* The crucial role of the pattern-matching processes in the brain in triggering
phobic responses and post traumatic stress symptoms
* How the main treatment techniques for treating post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), sub-threshold trauma and phobias (including EMDR, EFT and CBT) work –
their advantages and disadvantages
* Why the rewind technique draws on the innate ability we all have to recover
from trauma
* Pre-disposing factors for suffering a problematic post-traumatic response (or
developing a phobia)
* Why critical incident debriefing increases the incidence of PTSD
* How this version of the rewind technique has been modified to make it safer
and more reliable
* Trauma-focused rewinding: the psycho-biological reason why this refined
rewind technique works so consistently well
* A step-by-step breakdown of the essential stages of the rewind technique
* The chance to see a live demonstration of working with a phobia or trauma
You will leave with:
* The confidence to begin using the technique ethically and safely
* A clear understanding of the advantages of using a non-intrusive
psychological technique to treat trauma, PTSD and phobias (where the client
does not have to go into details about or repeatedly ‘revisit’ what has
traumatised them)
* What to do if a client as an abreaction
* Important information about when not to use this technique – and what can be
done instead
* An understanding of how the rewind technique can be used to work with Complex
Trauma and cases involving ‘freeze’, shutdown or dissociative responses
* How you can carefully apply this technique to relieve a huge range of anxiety
disorders
* Greater confidence in dealing with anxiety disorders and distress caused by
trauma, phobias and flashbacks
* An understanding of how rapidly transformative this technique can be; on the
last afternoon we view a filmed therapy session (and follow up) in which Joe
Griffin uses the rewind technique to relieve a young man of his severe shark
phobia
There is also plenty of opportunity for you to ask questions and to experience
and practice, under careful guidance, the various stages of the rewind technique
yourself.
WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
Anyone working with distressed, phobic or traumatised people, who has already
taken our Guided Imagery and Visualisation workshop (and ideally the Therapeutic
Power of Language workshop too) as these skills are essential components of the
rewind technique.
If you help traumatised people (including children) or people suffering from any
form of phobia or anxiety disorder – this includes: psychotherapists,
counsellors, mental health nurses, OTs, health visitors, social workers,
psychiatrists, GPs, clinical psychologists, midwives, welfare officers, youth
workers, hypnotherapists and those working with traumatised members of public
services, such as: firefighters, police, paramedics and military personnel – you
will find the rewind technique and associated skills hugely helpful.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Guided imagery, relaxation and visualisation are an integral component of the
Rewind Technique – if you don’t already have experience in using these skills
therapeutically with others you must complete our Guided Imagery and
Visualisation for Therapeutic Change workshop before attending this course (this
is always run the day before our rewind technique training).
This is to ensure you get the most out of this 2-day course and also have the
necessary skills for practising the rewind technique safely and effectively.
You would also find it useful to attend the Therapeutic Power of Language
workshop beforehand if you can. All 3 workshops count towards Part 1 of the HG
Diploma.
Ros Townsend’s live online training Trauma: Patterns of the past is also useful
for anyone working with or supporting someone suffering from unresolved trauma,
or who would like to understand their own experiences of trauma better. She also
runs a workshop on working with Complex Trauma.

*ABOUT THE REWIND TECHNIQUE
The Rewind Technique originated from one developed by Richard Bandler, one of
the founders of NLP, when it was called the Visual/Kinaesthetic Dissociation
protocol. A variant of this was developed by Dr David Muss, who called it the
Rewind Technique.
The version of the Rewind Technique you will learn on this 2-day course was
refined by Joe Griffin and Ivan Tyrrell, co-founders of the human givens
approach, to make it as reliably effective and safe as is possible by aligning
the method with their insights into how trauma and phobias are processed in the
brain. HG Therapists now follow a specific Rewind Protocol which follows the
essential steps of the process that Griffin and Tyrrell set out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COURSE FORMAT
This intense 2-day training proceeds through a blend of talks, live
demonstrations, skill-developing exercises, practice sessions (under careful
guidance) and deconstruction of filmed examples of the technique being used,
including one with a severely traumatised young woman. There is also plenty of
opportunity for networking and discussion during the breaks.
