[ Ссылка ] This is a description of the "rewind technique". It's sometimes called the "visual-kinesthetic dissociation technique". This approach has been proposed as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias. It essentially consists of instructions to imagine what you're afraid off, with suggestions for separation/distance/'dissociation' from the image. Evidence for the use of this technique in the treatment of trauma or phobias is very limited, but due to its popularity it suggests it does have benefits.
Hypnosis Rewind Technique
The rewind technique has been used for many years to help de-traumatize sufferers. The technique is safe and does not require the individual to return to traumatic places. The sufferer needs to be fully relaxed and comfortable for it too work.
How does the Rewind Technique Work?
When fully relaxed a practitioner will encourage the sufferer to bring their anxieties to the surface, and watch uncomfortable images of the event at a distance from a bystander's point of view. The idea being that they will feel relaxed and calm as they watch these events rather than being involved in them directly. The sufferer will also be in a relaxed position such as a seat or bed.
The Rewind technique script. The rewind technique starts by the sufferer being asked to imagine they are at the cinema or watching TV at home. In other words there needs to be a screen in front of them. They are then asked to float outside their body and watch themselves watching the screen including themselves on the screen (double dissociation.)
