Replacement question

I apologize for this very basic question.  I understand how to use /. 
{} to replace a  variable with a more complex expression, e.g., x-> 
y+z.  Can one move in the opposite direction to replace all 
occurrences of y+z with x?   myExpression/.{y+z->x} does not seem to 
work.

Thank you for your help,
Brian
