Gentle Support for Trauma, Flashbacks, Phobias, Anxiety and Distressing Memories

Are difficult memories, triggers, fears or past experiences continuing to affect how you feel today?

At Reset Your Mojo CIC in Grantham, Lincolnshire, we offer Rewind Therapy alongside hypnotherapy in a calm, compassionate and supportive environment.

The Rewind Technique is a structured approach that uses deep relaxation, guided imagery and visualisation to help reduce the emotional intensity connected with difficult or distressing memories.

One of the important features of Rewind Therapy is that you do not necessarily have to describe every detail of what happened.

For some people, knowing that they do not have to repeatedly talk through a distressing experience can make seeking support feel more manageable.

Our approach is always:

Compassionate • Respectful • Individual • Confidential • Client-Centred

What Is Rewind Therapy?

Rewind Therapy, often known as the Rewind Technique, is an approach that combines relaxation and guided visualisation.

During the process, you are first supported to become deeply relaxed.

You are then gently guided through a structured visualisation exercise involving the memory or situation from a psychologically distanced perspective.

The aim is to help reduce the strength of the emotional response that may have become associated with the memory or trigger.

You remain aware and in control throughout the process.

Rewind Therapy does not erase memories and it does not change what happened.

Instead, the intention is to help the memory feel less emotionally overwhelming so that remembering the experience does not necessarily create the same intensity of fear, panic or distress.

At Reset Your Mojo CIC, Rewind Therapy may be incorporated into a wider hypnotherapy session where appropriate.

Hypnotherapy can help you enter a state of focused relaxation in which your attention becomes calmer and distractions reduce.

You are not unconscious, asleep or out of control.

You remain able to hear, think, communicate and stop the session whenever you wish.

Using relaxation alongside the Rewind Technique can provide a gentle environment in which you can work with difficult memories without repeatedly discussing every detail of the experience.

Every client is different, which is why we begin by understanding you, your circumstances and what you would like to change.

What Can Rewind Therapy Help With?

People may explore Rewind Therapy because they are experiencing difficulties associated with:

Distressing or intrusive memories

Flashbacks

Nightmares

Specific phobias or fears

Anxiety connected with a past event

Panic responses and physical fear reactions

Accident-related memories

Difficult medical experiences

Bereavement-related distress

Relationship or separation experiences

Bullying

Workplace incidents

Experiences of abuse

Fear associated with driving or travelling

Fear of medical or dental procedures

Fear of flying

Fear of animals, insects or particular situations

Emotional triggers connected with previous experiences

Rewind Therapy is not appropriate for every person or every situation. Your circumstances will therefore be discussed before deciding whether it is suitable for you.

Do I Have to Talk About What Happened?

One of the reasons some people consider the Rewind Technique is that detailed disclosure of the distressing event is not necessarily required.

You will still need to provide enough information for your practitioner to understand your needs, assess whether the approach is appropriate and ensure that you can be supported safely.

However, you are not normally required to describe every detail of an experience simply for the Rewind process to take place.

For people who find talking repeatedly about a difficult experience uncomfortable or overwhelming, this can be particularly important.

What Happens During a Rewind Therapy Session?

1. Initial Conversation

Before beginning Rewind Therapy, we will talk about what has brought you to Reset Your Mojo CIC.

We will explore:

What you are currently experiencing

What situations or memories trigger the response

How it affects your everyday life

What you would like to change

Your physical and emotional wellbeing

Any relevant medication or professional support

Whether Rewind Therapy or another approach would be more appropriate

Your safety and wellbeing always come first.

2. Relaxation

You will be guided into a calm and comfortable state of relaxation.

This may include breathing, progressive relaxation, guided imagery and hypnotherapeutic techniques.

There is nothing that you need to force.

You remain completely in control.

3. Creating Psychological Distance

Rather than experiencing the difficult memory as though it is happening again, you will be encouraged to imagine observing it from a safe and detached perspective.

This psychological distance is an important part of the Rewind process.

4. The Rewind Process

Your practitioner will guide you through a structured mental imagery exercise in which the memory is imagined moving backwards and forwards from this distanced perspective.

The process may be repeated several times depending upon your individual response and comfort.

5. Looking Towards the Future

Where appropriate, we may then use positive imagery to help you visualise yourself responding differently in situations that previously created fear or anxiety.

For example, this might include imagining yourself:

Feeling calm in a situation that previously frightened you.

Driving confidently.

Travelling comfortably.

Feeling safe.

Responding calmly to a previous trigger.

Managing a situation without the previous automatic fear response.

You Remain in Control

A common misconception about hypnotherapy is that the therapist somehow takes control of the client.

That is not what happens.

During hypnotherapy you remain conscious and in control.

You cannot be forced to reveal information you do not want to share or do something against your wishes.

At Reset Your Mojo CIC, our guiding principle is:

Helping, Never Harming.

Your comfort, dignity, autonomy and wellbeing remain central to every session.

Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy in Grantham

When someone has experienced an overwhelming event, seemingly ordinary situations can sometimes become connected with powerful emotional reactions.

A sound, smell, place, person, physical sensation or situation may unexpectedly trigger fear or distress.

Our approach recognises that you are more than the experience that brought you to therapy.

We provide a compassionate space where your experiences are respected without judgement.

We will never deliberately pressure you to disclose details you are not ready to discuss.

Hypnotherapy for Phobias in Grantham

Rewind techniques are also sometimes used when working with specific phobias and learned fear responses.

These may include fears associated with:

Flying

Driving

Heights

Needles

Dentists

Medical procedures

Dogs

Spiders

Insects

Enclosed spaces

Crowds

Public transport

Vomiting

Particular places or situations

A phobia can feel irrational when viewed logically while still creating a very real physical response.

Hypnotherapy aims to work with those automatic patterns while helping you develop a calmer response.

Rewind Therapy for Flashbacks and Triggers

A flashback or powerful emotional trigger can sometimes make a past experience feel very immediate.

Your body may respond before you have had time to think about what is happening.

You might experience:

A racing heart.

Panic.

Sweating.

Shaking.

Fear.

Feeling frozen.

Wanting to escape.

Difficulty concentrating.

Disturbing images or memories.

Rewind Therapy aims to help reduce the emotional intensity associated with the memory rather than simply asking you to suppress the response.

Individual outcomes vary and no therapeutic approach can guarantee a particular result.

Rewind Therapy and PTSD

Some practitioners use the Rewind Technique when supporting people experiencing symptoms associated with traumatic events and post-traumatic stress.

However, Reset Your Mojo CIC does not suggest that hypnotherapy replaces assessment, diagnosis or treatment from appropriately qualified medical or mental-health professionals.

If you have been diagnosed with PTSD, complex PTSD or another mental-health condition, or are experiencing significant psychological distress, we may ask about the professional support already available to you.

Where your needs fall outside our practitioner's professional scope, we will discuss this openly and help signpost you towards appropriate specialist services.

Your wellbeing is more important than simply providing a session.

How Many Rewind Therapy Sessions Will I Need?

There is no single answer because everyone responds differently.

Some people notice changes relatively quickly, while other people benefit from additional sessions or a broader programme of support.

We will not promise that a particular difficulty will disappear within one session.

Instead, progress is reviewed individually and honestly.

The aim is to provide the level of support that is appropriate for you.

Reset Your Mojo CIC provides accessible wellbeing and hypnotherapy support from Grantham, Lincolnshire.

We support people from Grantham and surrounding communities, as well as offering online support where clinically and professionally appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rewind Therapy

Is Rewind Therapy the same as hypnotherapy?

They are not exactly the same.

The Rewind Technique is a structured psychological imagery technique. Relaxation and guided imagery are important components, which means techniques used within hypnotherapy may work naturally alongside it.

At Reset Your Mojo CIC, we may integrate Rewind techniques with hypnotherapy when appropriate for the individual client.

Will I have to relive my trauma?

The intention of Rewind Therapy is not to force someone to repeatedly relive or describe traumatic experiences.

The technique uses psychological distance and imagery, and detailed disclosure is not necessarily required.

Will hypnosis make me lose control?

No. You remain aware and in control during hypnotherapy.

You can speak, move or stop the session whenever you wish.

Can Rewind Therapy help with phobias?

The Rewind Technique is used by some practitioners when working with phobias and learned fear responses.

An initial consultation helps establish whether it is appropriate for your particular fear.

Can Rewind Therapy cure PTSD?

No responsible practitioner should guarantee a cure.

PTSD is a recognised mental-health condition. Rewind techniques may be used by appropriately trained practitioners as part of support for trauma-related symptoms, but they should not be presented as a guaranteed replacement for medical or specialist mental-health treatment.

How quickly does Rewind Therapy work?

People respond differently.

Although Rewind is sometimes described as a brief therapeutic technique, the number of sessions required depends upon the person, their circumstances and the complexity of what they are experiencing.

Where do you provide Rewind Therapy?

Reset Your Mojo CIC is based in Grantham, Lincolnshire, supporting people from Grantham and surrounding areas. Online sessions may also be available when the approach is appropriate for remote delivery.
