ABOUT RESET GO

Reset Go is the result of recognising the need for better access to mental health services, especially for post-traumatic stress, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed.

Tough times in life can leave a mark.
When we go through hard or painful experiences, they can affect us in ways we don’t always see.
These experiences can make life harder later on.
They might create obstacles that slow us down or make us doubt ourselves.
Because of this, we may find it harder to grow, succeed, or become the person we really want to be.

Our methodology follows the current research in the field overall, and we take care of keeping on top of all new developments in the field trauma-focused therapy

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS

What is PTSD?

PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It happens after someone goes through something very scary, shocking, or dangerous. Things like traffic accidents, war, abuse, or natural disasters are normally thought of as main causes, but 'scary', 'shocking' and 'dangerous' are subjective to the individual.

Not everyone who goes through something bad gets PTSD. But for some people, the brain has a hard time letting go of the fear and stress.

What Happens in the Brain?

When you face danger, your brain goes into "survival mode." It sends out signals to protect you. This is called the fight, flight, or freeze response. Your heart beats faster. You breathe quicker. Your body gets ready to react.

For most people, once the danger is gone, the brain calms down.

But with PTSD, the brain stays stuck in that “danger” mode - even when you’re safe.

Three Parts of the Brain Involved:

Amygdala

This part sounds the alarm. It tells you something is scary or dangerous. In PTSD, it stays on high alert, even when there’s no danger.

Hippocampus

This part helps you remember things and know what’s past and what’s present. In PTSD, it gets confused. So your brain might treat a memory like it’s happening right now.

Prefrontal Cortex

This is the part that helps you think, make decisions, and stay calm. In PTSD, it has trouble quieting down the fear signals from the amygdala.

Can It Get Better?

Yes! PTSD can improve with the right help. At Reset, Go, we help you to learn coping skills, as well as redressing past issue to help the brain calm down and feel safe again.

The brain is strong. With support, it can heal.

Techniques Recommended By NICE

NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) is a national health technology assessment body of England, responsible for clinical guidance to the NHS in England and Wales.

Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

TF-CBT gives people tools to deal with their past. It helps them feel more in control and less afraid. Over time, many people feel stronger and more confident. They learn that their past does not have to control their future.

How it helps:

Feel safe and supported

Learn how to be calm when they feel upset

Talk about what happened, in a safe way

Understand that what happened was not their fault

Change unhelpful thoughts into more helpful ones

Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a type of therapy that helps people heal from scary or upsetting experiences, also called trauma. It can also help with anxiety, panic, or low self-esteem caused by past events.

Why Do People Use It?
When the brain doesn’t process experiences in the right way, the memory gets "stuck." This can cause problems like nightmares, anxiety, or strong emotions that come back even long after the event. EMDR helps “unstick” those memories, so people can feel better.

How Does EMDR Work?
In EMDR, the person thinks about a painful memory while doing something that helps the brain focus—like following the therapist’s fingers moving back and forth, listening to sounds in each ear, or tapping on their hands. This simple technique helps the brain reprocess the memory, and it becomes less upsetting. The person can still remember what happened, but it doesn’t hurt as much or feel as scary.

Why Is It Useful?
Many people feel better after EMDR, often in fewer sessions than with other kinds of therapy. It can help people feel calmer, safer, and more in control of their lives.
