Human Givens And Rewind Therapy

[postodave]

I have been reading some stuff about human givens and rewind therapy. I was wondering whether anyone here has come across this and whether they have found it helpful. Here are a few links

I am currently reading books from the Human Givens school of thought. So far it's making an awful lot of sense.

Hi

I am to see a Human Givens therapist very soon who uses the rewind techniques in an attempt to detraumatise people. I'll let you know how I get on. I'd recommend anyone to read the Human Givens literataure - it's a complete theory - nicely scientific and has the potential to explain a tremendous amount about how we can get trapped by our primitive responses. That's how PTSD works - our knee jerk responses come from the primitive brain - where the traumatic memories are 'stuck'. They need help to get out of there and into the higher, more rational parts of the brain. That's why CBT etc doesn't work so well - it operates at too high a level - like trying to fit the top on a bottle of pop (soda) after it has exploded.

Anyway, will report back on progress
