This therapy is a brief intervention that seeks relief of PTSD symptoms experienced by a difficult or distressing birth. The treatment will take place over 3 sessions, corresponding to the 3 steps of the technique:
Step 1: Preparation. During the first session if you are comfortable to do so, you can talk me through your experience. It is not essential for you to share this, but some people find it helpful. We will explore the impact it is still having on you and how it would feel to move beyond these feelings. To finish, I will take you through a guided relaxation. You will take a recording of this home with you to use between sessions. This should all take about 90 minutes
Step 2: Rewind. One week later we will go through the TBR Rewind process. This involves a guided visualisation of your memories whilst in a deeply relaxed state. This will help you to reframe your experiences, without the overwhelming feelings which would normally accompany these memories. We will move on to visualising yourself in the future, feeling confident and doing well. This will take about 60 minutes
Step 3: Review. 10 -14 days later we will complete the final step where we will revisit and consolidate any personal insights and transformations you have gained from the previous session. This can be just 30 minutes.
Sessions are available via zoom or in person. You will need to ensure you are child-free and totally undisturbed for each of the sessions.
