(IARTT) Rewind Technique for Trauma
(For ages 4 upwards, children, young people and adults)
​
I was trained by the founder of the (IARTT) Rewind Trauma Therapy, DR D Muss in 2021.
​
This brief therapy intervention amounts to 1-4 sessions, which includes assessment, the rewind therapy and two follow up sessions.
​
The rewind can be used for younger children providing they are able to follow the instructions to follow the exercise.
​
Rewind can be used for a single traumatic event or for multiple traumas. It can help to desensitise the following traumatic experiences:
-
Sexual abuse
-
Combat
-
Suicide attempt
-
Past bullying
-
Victims of Violence​​​
-
Car accidents
-
Near death experiences

this list is not exhaustive
When we experience trauma it usually results in strong emotions which overwhelm our brain. This overwhelm stops our brain processing normally so it leaves the memory unprocessed. Normally an experience would go through a part of our brain called the hippocampus. This part of the brain processes the experience so it can be filed away as a memory. If this doesn’t happen the experience gets stuck in the nervous system. The stuck memory can get triggered and is experienced as if it is happening in the present, with all the emotions and sensations that go with it.
​
​
IARTT Rewind therapy offers a way of stopping the involuntary recall by filing the traumatic event in the long term memory, so it becomes under control.
​
The process uses a combination of guided imagery and relaxation, to reduce negative emotional and physiological symptoms.
The rewind is non-intrusive, there is no need for individuals to verbalise specific details of the event/events that have traumatised them. This helps avoid embedding the trauma further and re-traumatisation.
​
During the assessment we will explore emotional regulation and stabilisation, prior to undertaking the rewind.
