[@michaelgintowt5023]

Thank you, Mark, for this informative video. I appreciate the time and attention you devote to cultivating therapist skills in others.

[@etrebelle9812]

I love you. Please all listen to him. He knows it all.

Thank you - thanks for the tips on protective language. 1. Individual can repeat whatever word caused them trauma in order to condition them. 2. Practitioner can say the word before showing image

“Out of date video” - love it! When can someone book a rewind session?

[@Aphex1471]

Great information as usual Mark, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

In interpersonal therapy we teach it’s ok to experience these negative emotions and in transference show them how to accept them so they can recover not hide from dangerous emotions inside. But expose and experience them so they can learn that these feelings don’t have to be concrete

Thank you so much

For me the way out of trauma has definitely been to be able to connect with and sit with the pain. I'm actually very surprised that you say this will only make things worse. I don't think it's the case that one type of therapy is right and the others are wrong, but finding what works for you, we're all different and respond differently.

[@rochiebro]

Agreed. Avoiding or skirting around pain will not work. It sounds like the guy’s first therapist was encouraging him to relive to find an answer to a question that may not have been/ever be accessible.

@krystle8534 Where did you get this from? If you listen closely, he says talking this through *can* re-traumatise people. In fact Mark specifically says that for around a quarter of people, talking about the trauma will deepend it, if they're severely traumatised. Also, there's a difference between trauma and PTSD.

[@jiujuntang]

It's necessary to distinguish sitting with emotions from mentally reliving and verbally recounting an event.

I have dealt with 12 therapists and 10 of them did not "do nothing" to me... they made me WORSE. They forced a desperate person (me) who was screaming for solutions and ways to leave that life-threatening mental environment, to reinforce and re-narrate all the negativity shame and fear possible so that I could have even more of that and be the victim of them too, not just the other people I was victimized by. Absolutely CRIMINAL. I told all of them all the time, I kept telling them, I even told them what I needed to get to ideally. Yet they played friends and talked of issues of trust on my side, problems on my side, unconscious resistance (it was healthy resistance and a glimpse of respect for myself and will to live), then did it all over again the same... just make me reinforce the problem. Consider also that I was extremely weak, with a destroyed personality, and in a position of absolute desperation. I wish they would all go to jail !! This is not an exaggeration: they took loads of money and actively damaged me for years to come making sure I'd not get a chance for a loooong time. Criminal scammers they are. They should do time.

@@etrebelle9812 I am really sorry to hear about the malice your therapists treated you with. Having you relive the experience is not okay. How are you doing today? Have you gotten what you needed to move through your trauma?

[@shaamkechai]

Thank u sir really learning a lot from you.

[@Medietos]

Confirmation of the reason why I can''t think/feel/write about things even to myslef: I am too harmed and stress-exhausted to have the energy, calm, fiúnctional-time and access to my soul-forces, to process my things.

[@launderedcotton8070]

Agree.

[@MaryRenaud]

How does this technique, the rewind technique, do with cPTSD? That doesn’t respond quite as reliably to EMDR, I believe. Does Rewind work similarly for both PTSD and cPTSD?

[@yfa6244]

Okay but what exactly is the rewind method? I have never heard of this...
