This course aims to teach professionals what perinatal trauma symptoms are.

Students can then recognise how symptoms play out in parents' day to day life causing a threat to their mental health.

Using knowledge of the neurobiology of trauma professionals can learn how to gently lift symptoms and support parents towards their own goals for recovery using the 3 steps.

This course includes a 3 part assessment.

Successful completion of these assessments allows professionals to practice, fully insured as TBR Practitioners.

All TBR Practitioners can be listed for free on our dedicated website for parents www.traumaticbirthrecovery.com

This course includes both online materials (text, visual and video case study equalling between 12 to 16 hours) and a 2 day, live practice session that happens over Zoom.

The next live practice days are scheduled for:

  • March 17th & 18th 2026

  • June 23rd & 24th 2026

What if there was a safe, gentle and effective way to support parents recovery from birth trauma?

We know that left untreated trauma symptoms can manifest into more entrenched mental health problems.

We know that many parents who have had no prior history of mental health problems are often desperate for a brief intervention that can gently restore them to their prior health.

We know that whilst some parents require more in depth psychological support from therapeutic professionals, many parents simply want to feel better, quickly.

The truth is:

  • Many parents and professionals choose to use TBR 3 Step Rewind because it's safe, gentle and effective. 

  • Many parents  prefer being supported by their trusted doula, antenatal teacher or midwife when it choosing TBR 3 Step Rewind to recover.

  • This easy to learn process allows parents to go towards their own goals for recovery and then get on with their life. 

  • Sadly perinatal trauma is too common an incidence for there to not be more skilled professionals available for parents who need support.

  • Since 2016 TBR Practitioners have supported 1000s of parents back to health.

What parents say:

Joy

'Prior to these sessions, I felt like fear was overwhelming every part of my life. Physically, I was absolutely terrified of the symptoms I was experiencing and mentally, I was in a constant battle of self-doubt, self-hatred and guilt that I was letting my baby down. I could not think of my baby’s future because I genuinely believed that I would not be in it. 

The sessions have been so valuable - not only in rewinding traumatic memories and giving me tools for managing my anxiety - but in helping me realise that I deserve to give myself time to focus on my wellbeing too. I have not felt the terror that I previously felt for months and I feel so much freedom for that.'

Louise

'Since the sessions the constant record of the birth has stopped going around and around in my head.  I feel like a completely different person.  I am actually making plans for my future and I have have booked on some short courses.  I am sleeping much better, I am less angry, more calmer and more sociable.  The sessions have reignited my spark for arts and crafts.  I finally enjoying the time to relax rather than keeping busy to avoid thinking.  '

Rona

'I wanted to say thank you so much for our three sessions. 

The impact of your three sessions has been life changing. I can’t believe how effective just three sessions have been. I feel like a different person from our first session. I am now able to access my old life and sense of self again. I now feel on the right path for our new family going forward and can start to move on and look forward to the future.

This support was so quick and accessible. Your kind, clear and inclusive approach made it very manageable.

I cannot recommend your support highly enough. It would be so beneficial if more, if not all new mums, were able to access this unique and effective support at such a transformative time. 

The impact for women, their families, their communities and their work, should not be underestimated. You are a magician.'

Vita

'I approached The Birth Republic during one of the most challenging moments of my life, when I became a single mum of two very young toddlers. 

With Alex I found a safe space to show my vulnerabilities and expose my traumas of being undermined and uncared for. She helped me to overcome the guilt and the shame of feeling abandoned by my partner. 

It was difficult parenting my little ones while I had no self esteem, no sleep, a full time job and no help. 

Alex’s compassionate approach shone  some light on my “hidden” resources and helped me focus positively on my little girls rather than on new logistic and emotional challenges. Seeing my kids settling in this new routine boosted a desire to look after myself. 

My personalised recording allowed me to fall asleep every night where sleeping tablets were failing and slowly create a sense of self worth in the women that was buried inside me. 

Being able to receive one to one help so rapidly and consistently not only has allowed me to survive the early stage of the separation, but has made a substantial impact on the children wellbeing.'

Kerrie

'Having undertaken the TBR 3 Step Rewind therapy, I can only describe it as having taken a ‘magic tablet’, for the majority I am now able to talk about my birth experience with far less sad and angry emotions ……… I am able to remember the happy parts of my experience which I thought hadn’t existed. My baby is ten months old and today I have relooked at the photos from his first 24 hours (which were in a hidden folder) and I’ve been able to cry tears of joy as despite the trauma I can see the happiness I was actually feeling at the time to have my baby boy with me 💙💙💙 Thankyou! 💙'

What professionals say:

Jade Gordon

Sona Mum

‘This is a fabulous course; I thoroughly enjoyed the videos and coursework. I felt so confident after completing the course and Alex really helped guide me through the process.’

Hanna Holcroft, Doula

Doula website

'I have worked with a few clients now! I had real faith that it was going to be a wonderful tool to work with but to be honest it's incredible... The difference I'm seeing in people is extraordinary!!!'

Sarah Kelly, Midwife

‘What an excellent course. Validating all that I thought was correct and supporting the idea that any listening or debrief service is so valuable to women and professionals. There are so many lessons to be learnt not only from the course but in the way we listen to women and their families about how they have been traumatised.’ 

Wendy Wood, Hypnobirthing Instructor, Midwife, Doula & Co Founder & Owner of The Little Birth Company 

The Little Birth Company

'Working on reducing the likelihood of birth trauma is something that I very much do in my Hypnobirthing and Doula roles but I needed something else, a technique, skill that could help me to assist those who sadly have already experienced trauma and are living with the effects every day!

The online course was
fantastic, the videos Alex included and the written material were wonderful
and kept me engaged, I literally couldn't put it down! 

I had my first client earlier this month, I have to admit I felt pressured, this lovely lady was extremely traumatised, I couldn't get my head around how such a simple to do technique delivered in just two sessions could make such a huge difference.

It literally was like waving a magic wand, the change in the lady was tangible!
Something lifted and released and it was beyond wonderful to be a part of. I have already received so much interest in the sessions and feel privileged to be able to offer this amazing technique. The support I have received from Alex herself and the online community has been wonderful, you feel very supported.'"

Louise Nunn, Consultant Midwife

'I’ve been meaning to let you know that I've now done 4 sessions of the Rewind technique with clients, all as part of my NHS role. They'd all been referred to my clinic with birth anxiety due to a previous traumatic birth. I had met them all at least once before and offered the session to them and explained what it was, and I've followed them up by telephone afterwards. I've had some lovely feedback from the mums, which is fantastic - and I'm so relieved! I'm so excited about being a practitioner as I'm really going to be able to enhance the care and support I can offer to women and help them have a positive pregnancy and birth this time round, thank you Alex! I've got 3 more mums booked in for sessions later this month and will keep you posted how they go... '

Lyndsey Hookway Paediatric nurse, children's public health nurse, IBCLC

‘Brilliant training. Unbelievable success stories since utilising this technique in my practice.’

Frequently asked questions

What will I be able to do after taking this course?

After completing this course you will be able to offer TBR 3 Step Rewind as a  service to your community.

This course has a 3 part assessment process to complete the course. The assessment includes a supported case study with an appropriate client.

After successful completion of the assessments students can gain insurance to practice as a TBR Practitioner, be listed on the website for parents seeking support and access our monthly, small group supervision.

This course aims to teach you how to recognise trauma symptoms, understand how they play out in day to day life and how the 3 step process can gently, safely and effectively lift perinatal trauma symptoms and make space to experience something new. 

It is also vital knowledge for any birth professional to be able to use these skills for themselves and their colleagues when trauma is experienced in the workplace.

How is this course delivered?

This course offers a dual learning experience for all students.

There is the online course which is a mix of video case study, text, visual and audio. 

The online course is divided into 6 lessons. In total it is estimated that this course would take between 12 and 16 hours to complete. It is strongly advised that this is chunked down into smaller learning units.

Students can leave comments, ask questions or reflect with their own views by using the comments boxes along side the content.

All students have life time access to the online course which encourages practitioners to revisit and refresh their knowledge when needed.

This course is also available as a 2 day live training which provides the opportunity to learn and practice the 3 steps  live, over Zoom.

You can choose when to attend. The dates for this coming year and next are:

  • Sep 23rd & 24th 2025

  • Dec 9th & 10th 2025

  • Mar 17th & 18th 2026

  • June 23rd & 24th 2026

Attending a live training is not requisite BUT is recommended.

By having both online and in person learning opportunities this course offers a robust, safe and thorough way of learning.

How long do I have to complete the course?

All TBR students have life time access to the online content and material.

We know that practitioners still like to refer back to the online content as they continue to hone and grow their practice.

The course is designed to get professionals trained and practicing within 6 months of enrolment.

Most students review the content (around 12 hours of study) and then attend the live training days.

After this they are able to begin completing the assessments (include finding and working with a case study), practicing the skills, and participating in regular supervision (provided by TBR College).

Some students take longer and this is also fine.

Do I have to review all of the online content before attending the live study days?

No. You can attend the live practice days without reviewing the online content first.

However we recommend reviewing the online content before moving on to the course assessments if more than a gap of 2 months has occurred between practice at the live study days and working with a case study (which is one of the assessments).

Do I need to attend the live study days?

No. You can just review all of the online content and move on to the assessments.

However the live study days are recommended because they are a great opportunity to practice and experience the 3 steps and so are especially useful if you have no therapeutic experience.

Is the course accredited?

Yes.

We are the only 3 Step Rewind training provider who is  accredited by the educational body Think Tree.

What is your refund policy?

If you wish to cancel your enrolment on any  online course you may do so within 7 days, so long as the course has not been accessed or started.

Refunds are given at the discretion of TBR College and must be requested in writing within 7 days of purchasing the course.

No refund will be given in the event that the course has already been started; it is not possible to offer refunds for partially viewed courses. We therefore highly recommend you read the course outline carefully before enrolling on a course to ensure it meets with your expectations.
