My Prosperous World

The human brain has posed serious challenges to scientist and despite the advancements in biology, the scientists are not fully aware of it. However, psychologists have done several experiments and found many therapies that help in enhancing the mental and emotional capabilities. The rewind technique is one such therapeutic technique, which is based on a system of therapy known as Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

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.

While reliving the incident the patient visualizes or sees the incident again and from a different perspective. It is like asking the patient to view the video of the incident. Except that it would be his mind that would be generating the video and it would be the mind’s eye viewing the video.

It helps the patient is the sense that he doesn’t have to actually use words to tell the psychologist that embarrassing or traumatic incidents again and again. Secondly, the patient can actually detach himself from the anxiety he feels at the time when his phobia triggers.

A great thing about this technique is that the patients who take this therapy do not have to explain in words to the psychologist about the traumatic incidents. They just have to visualize themselves. It saves them from the embarrassment of retelling the incidents again and again.

Although, the rewind technique has yet to become common but the technique is a promising one. It is great for a patient in the sense that it becomes effective in a short time and the patient is saved from the monotonous task of repeating embarrassing incidents that started the phobia to the psychologist. The patient can do his therapy himself with the psychologist just instructing.
