Active Listening to Ensure Your Voice is Heard

Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind

 This year I completed trained in the TBR 3 step rewind technique aimed to help relieve the symptoms of perinatal trauma. This technique incorporates relaxation and visualisation techniques. The aim of this technique is to allow you to remember the event without the strong emotions which may be currently attached to it and may be having an adverse effect on your day to day life

TBR 3 Step Rewind is:

*  TBR 3 Step Rewind lifts the toxic emotion that is linked to memory.

* The memory will still exist but the disturbing emotions associated are dissipated.

* From a neurological perspective, the memory can be properly processed into the long term memory store.

* The memory is scaled using a Subjective Unit of Distress scale (SUDS) before and after to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.

* Hearing your story (should you want to tell it) and understanding the changes you would like to experience with the symptoms lifted

* Deep relaxation, remembering the event in a specific way whilst feeling safe and secure

* Imagining coping in the future and responding differently

Who is it for?

Testimonial review:

Completed the rewind sessions with Nikki to support the healing of a birthing from many years ago. Nikki’s patience with me throughout the process was incredible, Nikki responded to my individual needs and happily added on an extra session for me as my brain didn’t always play ball! I feel so much 'lighter' now and feel I have made peace. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nikki and her rewind practice to anyone who is needing to move on from a birth trauma. Cooper
