Some experiences do not simply pass.
They stay — in the body, in memory, in the way something tightens before you have time to think.
This can happen after birth.
During pregnancy.
Across fertility journeys.
Or in moments that felt overwhelming, frightening, or unresolved.
You may notice it in ways that are difficult to ignore.
A reaction that feels stronger than it should.
A memory that returns without invitation.
A sense that something is still present, even though the moment has passed.
The TBR Three Step Rewind offers a way to meet these experiences differently.
Not by avoiding them —
but by approaching them in a way that feels safer, more contained, and workable.
What the process involves
The TBR Three Step Rewind is a structured therapeutic process, designed to help the brain process an experience fully and place it in the past — where it belongs.
When something overwhelming happens, the brain does not always complete this process.
Instead, the memory can remain “open”, which is why it can continue to feel present — even long after the event itself has ended.
The aim of this work is not to remove the memory.
It is to allow it to be processed in a way that creates distance, perspective, and relief.
The process takes place over three sessions, allowing space for this to happen gradually and without pressure.
The process includes:
1. Relaxation
A guided settling of the body, creating a sense of safety and ease before any memory is approached.
2. Rewind
A guided revisiting of the experience — not by reliving it at full intensity, but by engaging with it from a more resourced and supported state.
The memory is still accessed.
But the way it is experienced is different.
You remain aware, but not overwhelmed.
3. Reimprint
A stage that supports the memory in being re-stored in a way that feels less charged, allowing space for a different internal response to emerge.
You do not need to describe what happened in detail unless you choose to.
The process can work without full verbal retelling, which allows for a level of privacy and containment that many find reassuring.
Who this may support
This process can be helpful for those who feel something from their experience has stayed with them, including:
- a difficult or unexpected birth
- miscarriage, baby loss, or fertility challenges
- fear or anxiety connected to pregnancy or birth
- distress linked to medical environments or interventions
- any experience that continues to feel unresolved or intrusive
Some come with a clear memory in mind.
Others come with a feeling they can’t quite place.
Both are valid starting points.
Why this work matters
Experiences that have not been fully processed do not simply fade.
Sometimes, they remain in the present — not as something that is happening now, but as something the brain has not yet recognised as complete.
When this happens, the experience can continue to shape how you feel, how you respond, and how safe certain situations or environments seem.
This work supports the brain in recognising that the event is over.
In allowing it to be stored as something that has happened — rather than something that is still happening.
From there, the body often follows.
Reactions soften.
Space returns.
Perspective becomes available again.
Many people describe:
feeling lighter
noticing fewer automatic reactions
a sense of being able to move forward without being pulled back
Not because anything has been forced —
but because it has been processed.
A note on scope and support
This work is offered within a trauma-informed, non-clinical framework, and is best suited for those navigating perinatal experiences and emotional responses within this scope.
I am not trained to work with individuals who have been diagnosed with severe or complex mental health conditions, and in those cases, more specialised clinical support may be appropriate.
If you are unsure, we can explore this gently before beginning.
If this feels relevant to you, you are welcome to explore this offering.
We can begin with a simple conversation — there is no need to share more than you feel comfortable with, and no expectation to commit to anything before you’re ready.
You remain in control of the process at all times.
