In my practice I treat many highly anxious or traumatised clients using a wonderfully simple and effective treatment, known as The Rewind Technique.

This relatively recent breakthrough in psychotherapy treatment is a fast, safe and painless method of helping people to overcome high anxiety conditions such as Phobias, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).  The treatment was originally developed by Richard Bandler, a founding father of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and was known as The VK Technique. The Rewind Technique is the version that is recommended by The European Therapy Studies Institute (ETSI) as it has been refined to emphasise the elements that are now known to be essential in making it a highly effective treatment.

So, how does it work?  Well, when we encounter an event or stimulus that we perceive as threatening, our attention becomes locked onto the source of the threat to the exclusion of everything else.  At this point the survival mechanism of fight and flight is activated, the emotions become highly aroused prompting the body to instantly gear itself for survival action.  In the normal course of events this physical and emotional energy will be used up and the body will restore itself to normal.  The brain is then able to process what has happened by separating the emotional response from the physical experience, filing both away in separate parts of the brain, enabling the person to make calm, rational sense of the event.

Occasionally, this separation doesn’t happen and the entire event gets trapped in the emotional centres of the brain, resulting in phobia or trauma.

The Rewind Technique works very simply to unhook the emotional experience from the actual event, enabling the brain to recode the information, freeing the sufferer from the debilitation of high anxiety.

Two weeks ago, I noticed that one of my many amalgam fillings had a crack the size of the San Andreas Fault so, supported by my smug awareness that ‘I can do the dentist’, I headed off for the emergency dental appointment. With all my phobia management techniques firmly in place, I sat in the chair taking deep, relaxing breaths while the dentist selected his sharpest (it seemed to me) instrument to assess the depth of the crack. Once he’d established that the fissure was not actually causing me any physical discomfort, he told me that it was not an emergency so I should make another appointment and come back.

So now, here’s a mixture of relief and concern, as I recalled a colleague once telling me of the dangers of amalgam fillings and potential mercury poisoning. My dentist seemed unconcerned, though I couldn’t get the thought from my mind.

When I got home, I booted up the google engine and did some checking. What I found is that, as always with the internet, there is a whole raft of information and misinformation out there. However, my attention was caught by this:

I guess that until there is a unified position from all the so-called health watchdogs, it’s up to us to make our own minds up based on how we feel. In my personal case, I’d become aware of a general malaise that’d been around me for a couple of weeks and it seemed plausible that I could be becoming toxic. I was getting headaches and nausea and I also felt as though my eyesight was weaker. Eventually, after much searching, I found a dentist who would safely remove the offending filling and replace it with a clean, safe alternative. Since the treatment, my headaches have stopped. The nausea has lessened and is continuing to do so. The amalgam replacement cost me £200 and, despite being a national health dental patient, I want to tell you that it’s just about the best £200 I’ve ever spent.

If dental amalgam is of concern to you, find out as much as you can about it and search for a dentist that can safely remove it. I was prepared to travel to Portsmouth to Cathedral Dental Practice as they came highly recommended.
