3 Step
​Rewind

3 Step Rewind Method for healing birth trauma
Package of 3 Zoom sessions for £222


'I had a bit of a tough time in the fourth trimester that followed, as I'd had quite a traumatic experience and the healing took some time. The 3 step rewind has re-framed my birth experience and enabled me to move forward emotionally and practically with my life. I'd felt harrowed by the birth experience and it was damaging my experience of motherhood and every day life. Now I feel confident in myself, my mothering abilities and can look fondly on the birth of our son! Thank you so much Sofie, what you do is priceless and it's changed my life in so many ways.'

What is it?
The 3 Step Rewind Method is a gentle and safe way to lift heavy and suppressing feelings and emotions that can remain after a difficult or traumatic birth, baby loss, postnatal or breastfeeding experience, or any other perinatal trauma. It also works for extreme phobias including; needles, Tokophobia (extreme fear of childbirth/and or pregnancy) or a c-section delivery.

The 3 Step Rewind has its roots in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) and uses guided relaxation, language, visualisation and reframing to enable you to reduce and even eliminate uncomfortable emotions and replace them with a sense of lightness and positivity about your future. 

​As you are guided through these relaxing and effective steps, over 3 separate sessions, you will find that you naturally activate your own ability to heal yourself and are no longer held hostage by difficult emotions of the past.

How does it work?
Your brain is amazing but sometimes, if something difficult and upsetting happens, the amygdala, which lies In the base of the brain and manages your fight/flight response to environmental stimulus, isn't able to process emotions correctly and therefore store them in the right place. So, if we have experienced something difficult or traumatic the amygdala tries to protect us by not sending these emotions to a different part of our brain, the neocortex, to be stored and filed away in the long term memory bank.  This means that when an experience we perceive to be traumatic isn't processed properly, our brain replays it on a loop, in the short term memory, rather than sending it off to be filed, thereby making us relive those painful memories and emotions over and over again.

The 3 Step Rewind does not change your memory, only the emotions that were associated with it no longer control you. 
This process takes place over three sessions, each, one week apart.

Session 1 - approx 90 minutes
REFLECTION – in this session you are supported to reflect on your past memory  (either by sharing your story if you want to OR just talking about the emotions that are upsetting you). Through a guided relaxation you will be encouraged to think about the way you would like to feel as you start to work through the 3-step process.

Session 2 - approx 60 minutes
REWIND – this is the Rewind process itself. Here we go through a long guided relaxation in a way that enables you to feel at a safe distance from your memory and feelings. Although you will be in a deeply relaxed state you will be completely aware about what is going on around you, so if you want to stop, we will stop and return to the relaxation before we proceed again.

Session 3 - approx 60 minutes
REFRAMING THE FUTURE – in this session we de-brief how you have felt since the Rewind and I guide you through a relaxation to anchor how you would like to feel in the future. Creating a happier, lighter more positive version of yourself.

This treatment will help alleviate painful feelings about a traumatic event weeks, months and even years after the event happened. However, if your traumatic memory is very severe you may require further sessions with a qualified mental health professional,  psychologist, hypnotherapist or psychotherapist.

Why choose me?
I am a qualified 3 Step Rewind Practitioner, Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner and hold a Level 2 & 3 Certification in Counselling Skills and Studies.  I will ensure your comfort, safety and confidentiality at all times.
