If you or someone you care about is struggling with post-traumatic stress, you've come to the right place.

Hypnotherapy offers a powerful solution for addressing and healing from PTSD.

 

Unlike traditional therapies that primarily focus on the rational mind, hypnotherapy delves into the subconscious, where the root of these symptoms resides.

​

Let's explore the fascinating world of the subconscious mind and its role in PTSD:

​

The Subconscious Mind: The Key to Healing

The subconscious mind is illogical yet powerful, functioning as your primary protector. When you experience or witness a life-threatening event, it leaves an indelible imprint on your subconscious. Your highly emotional state during the trauma and the messages you receive from the environment become embedded in your subconscious mind. Unfortunately, the subconscious doesn't update itself once the event has passed. It remains unaware that the threat is no longer present, leading to ongoing symptoms such as anxiety, flashbacks, and distress.

​

Memory Storage in Trauma: A Unique Process

Scientifically, we know that memories are stored differently in threatening situations compared to calm ones. When you're relaxed, a memory is classified as a "past event" once it has passed. However, in a traumatic situation, memories don't receive this classification. The brain continues to perceive the event as ongoing, resulting in flashbacks, hyper-vigilance, panic, and intrusive thoughts.

​

Unlocking Healing through Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy provides a transformative approach to help the brain process and reclassify traumatic events, reducing their overwhelming impact. Let's explore the ways hypnotherapy can assist in healing PTSD:

​

Eliminating Unwanted Symptoms: Hypnotherapy effectively targets and eliminates upsetting memories, nightmares, flashbacks, emotional distress triggered by reminders, and physical reactivity to traumatic triggers.

​

Overcoming Avoidance: With hypnotherapy, you can regain control over your life by eliminating the need to avoid potentially triggering people, locations, or events associated with the trauma.

​

Safe Trauma Processing: Hypnotherapy offers a secure and supportive environment to process and release the trauma, allowing you to move forward with your life.

​

Shifting to Positive Thinking: We work together to shift your thinking, emotions, and expectations towards a more positive and empowering outlook, promoting emotional well-being.

​

Rediscovering Joy: Hypnotherapy helps you reconnect with life, find interests and activities that bring you happiness and fulfillment once again.

​

Eliminating Hyper-Vigilance: By addressing the hyper-arousal and hyper-vigilance associated with PTSD, hypnotherapy helps restore a sense of calm and balance.

​

Restoring Sleep and Appetite: If you're experiencing sleep disturbances or appetite changes, hypnotherapy can assist in improving these aspects of your well-being.

​

Normalizing Your Response: It's crucial to understand that post-traumatic stress is an adaptive response to potential life-threatening situations. Your body goes into hyper-vigilant mode to protect you. However, the subconscious may not realize that the trauma has passed, leading to prolonged hyper-vigilance. Hypnotherapy works to reprogram the subconscious, enabling it to recognize that you are safe now.

​

Providing a Safe Space to Share: Trauma often renders us speechless, and it's essential to have a non-judgmental and compassionate space to discuss what you've been through. Our therapy sessions offer you an opportunity to express your experiences without burdening your loved ones.

​

Reclassifying the Trauma: Hypnotherapy helps reclassify the traumatic event as a past event within the subconscious mind. By reframing its storage and removing the intense emotions attached to it, we empower you to move forward with your life.

​

Emotional Management: PTSD triggers a range of emotions such as survivor's guilt, anger, fear, and grief. Our therapy sessions provide a safe environment to normalize, process, accept, and express these emotions, facilitating healing.

​

Addressing Changes in Worldview: Trauma can significantly impact your perception of yourself and the world. Hypnotherapy supports you in recognizing your resiliency and rediscovering your inherent skills to care for yourself.

​

Breaking the Repetition Cycle: Freud observed that individuals often re-enact traumas as an attempt to master and complete them. Our therapy helps you navigate and resolve these patterns, allowing for healing and growth.

​

Addressing High-Risk Behavior: Trauma can lead to seeking adrenaline rushes or engaging in high-risk activities. We work together to help you adapt to lower levels of adrenaline and make healthy choices that promote your well-being.

​

Finding Meaning: Making sense of the traumatic event is a crucial part of the healing process. We guide you in discovering personal meaning and purpose, fostering resilience and moving forward.

​

Addressing Self-Injury: If you engage in self-injurious behaviors, our therapy offers support and strategies to address these harmful patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
