Trauma-focused therapy will help you to:

  • Come to terms with what happened
  • Begin to set postive goals
  • Start to re-engage with people and positive activities
  • Move forward 

The Process

Following a telephone consultation, if it is agreed that you would benefit from trauma-focused therapy, you will complete assessments to get a good overview of exactly how your symptoms are impacting on your daily life. We will arrange regular sessions.

  • The perpetrator of the traumatic event, e.g. driver who unintentionally caused an accident

benefits

  • No requirement to talk through the traumatic event, ensuring privacy and reducing the risk of retraumatisation
  • No requirement to disclose sensitive information about the event (e.g. armed forces personnel / frontline workers etc.)
  • Usually just 1 - 2 sessions required per traumatic event 
  • Can be stand alone treatment, or included as part of a programme of counselling

The Process

The session will last between 30 - 50 minutes and will include: an assessment to find out the severity of your symptoms, information to help you understand why you are experiencing involuntary trauma memory recall, followed by the Rewind Trauma Therapy.
