subject: Learn How Rewind Technique Works? [print this page] Psychological therapies are becoming common these days. With the rapid advancement of this field, many theories about therapies have been published but most of them have not gained popularity yet. One such area called the Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a system of therapy which helps people to overcome their mental and emotional phobias by self-awareness. The rewind technique associated with NLP is used for treating post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias.
As the name suggest, this technique makes a person rewind and watch the incident that was traumatic or became a phobia and affected their life throughout. The technique is not yet common but is being used by psychologists.
It is called so because a person replays the incidents that triggered the phobia and then is asked to visually view him or herself during that phobia. This lets a patient become a spectator to their trauma and let them relive the experience in a totally different situation and away from the stress he or she was feeling at that time. It helps lessen or even completely eradicating the post-traumatic stress or phobia.
It helps if a person has a visual power and can imagine or picture oneself in that situation. It also helps if the psychologist who is working with the patient has some practical experience in this therapy. Psychologists with only bookish knowledge cannot help a patient as effectively as the ones that have practically walked patients through this therapy session.
It is important to choose a psychologist who has a practical experience of this technique because this technique is relatively new and not everyone has the skill set to perform it properly. A good psychologist will be able to lessen your phobia or even completely eradicate it in just one sitting.
With a psychologist skilled in the NLP rewind technique, the phobia's stress on a person's life and work can easily be eradicated or lessened in one session. If the rewind technique becomes common and psychologists start practicing it, it can help people in unimaginable ways. It's a simple, fast and very effective procedure that doesn't have any side effects. What more could you want?
