The fast trauma and phobia cure 
– essential skills for all caring professionals 
A two-day master course with tutor: Joe Griffin
Course overview:
Even the most severe phobic and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) symptoms can be quickly and safely treated with the precisely targeted skills taught on this two-day master course. This refined version of the rewind technique is the most reliably successful psychological treatment available – it is easy to learn and one of the most important skills you need when working with any anxiety disorder.
Using it you can, in often as little as one or two sessions, detraumatise bad memories, stop flashbacks, cure phobias, banish nightmares and reduce anxiety so you can help the victims of abuse, rape, violence, car accidents, fire, terrorism and panic attacks, heart attacks and other life-threatening experiences. It is also invaluable for helping people with phobias, those who have suffered persistent physical or sexual abuse, and people with OCD. The technique has the added benefit of being non-intrusive (there is no need for individuals to go into details of the events which have traumatised them). Those who have already done this course have brought relief to thousands.

Please Note: this course includes material previously covered on the MindFields College Workshop of the same name, but it also goes into more depth about the causes of PTSD, phobias,abreactions and alternative techniques for treating PTSD and allows for much more time to practice the rewind technique so that you can feel thoroughly confident in using it when you have finished the course.
