Book Review

I should have this book review done hopefully in a week or two weeks. Regardless, this book puts a new perspective on PTSD. I need to think more to write a review because this book gives me a lot of questions. Mahalo.

Update 5-25-18
My feelings about this book are still mixed. Mostly negative. However, I could be wrong. I am open to seeing it in another light. I have PTSD. It why I have mix feelings. Since that might make me biased, I am going to skip this review. Mahalo.

The author told us why his technique works and why other techniques don’t work. I agreed with some of what he said and there is some interesting information. However, I felt the book was basically a long infomercial for his course. Maybe I will someday take the course in the Rewind Technique. But right now I feel disappointed that he didn’t share more of the “how” in this book.

I've been following Mark Tyrell YouTube channel( https://youtube.com/c/UnkPractitioners) for awhile.. he introduces very helpful content for practitioners and also non practitioners

It's a brief book about PTSD but very helping and substantial
Just wished more details about rewind techniques application more of HOW
But seems like Tyrell excluded it to his online course

Waiting to read the rest of his books

Clearly explains trauma and the process of removing it painlessly

Tyrrell does an excellent job of clarifying the causes of PTSD and other trauma, and delineates the boundaries between good and bad trauma processing methods. Although this text was written for clinical folk, it's devoid of technical jargon so that even the person experiencing trauma can understand the "how" of their problem, and the "why" of choosing Rewind therapy to break the negative conditioning of trauma.

The ego of this man is unbearable, acting like he’s gods gift to earth while writing an 100 page long ad for his online classes. Full of holes and pseudoscience which is a shame because the rewind technique is actually interesting and would help a lot of people if it was used alongside some of the techniques (with actual referenced merit) he spent half the book shitting on.

Mark has lifted the veil on a topic that has left many wandering in the wilderness of turmoil with no guidance and shown us how to comfortably navigate it. A concise and enlightening read that I would recommend to anybody in the/a "hepling" profession.

Horror in the mind.

Very interesting book with good valid points. I am interested in reading more. Also using the techniques that we discussed in the book

[Geraldine · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok and free. Some basic ideas explained but they never really got into depth of the rewind technique.

[James]

Easy reading and informative.
I took the online course, and have used it in my practice several times, to great success.
It really does work.

Very Informative

I am a big fan of Mark Tyrell's work and very interested in the Rewind process. His YouTube videos are always interesting!
