3 Step Rewind is a technique to help you to rewire your response to your experience. The primary goal of the process is to decrease the emotional intensity of memories.
Let me explain the process and how it works.
The brain’s limbic system, the ‘old brain’ stores everything we earn, we see, we hear and creates an emotional response. One purpose of this is for threat avoidance. Think about the cave people - they would store experiences of relentless threat and learn to avoid them by relying on their inner alarm system. Sabre toothed tiger = attack. Alarm goes off at any environmental reference to the tiger.
Following the Rewind process, we are aiming to disassociate from the experience, unhook the memory from the amygdala and rewiring the alarm system so it isn’t constantly going off - altering the reaction to the experience, re-filing it. Across three sessions, I will guide you through a meditative script, prompting you along the way to help you to disassociate from your experience. Deep relaxation allows us to access our subconscious - a receptive and fertile place for re-encoding.
Afterwards, you should feel a difference in your responses to certain experiences. The word ‘birth’ should no longer be filed in the ‘trauma’ drawer of your brain's filing cabinet and will elicit a new response. You will still have the memory, it just won’t be attached to ‘survival’ anymore
The brain weights traumatic experiences for protection - loops them round so we are protected from the same thing happening again. The brain is predicting threat and replaying it strengthens the response. But the threats, the trauma we experience in modern society, we don’t need relentless protection from. The sabre toothed tiger is a constant threat, and that response being heightened is important.
