The Rewind Therapy doesn't erase the memory but files the memory away in a "mental filing cabinet", you will then be in control as to whether you want to revisit the traumatic memory rather than the traumatic memory revisiting you, uninvited.
As long as there are memories of the traumatic event then Rewind can be used for:
