Hypnotherapy for PTSD/post traumatic stress disorder and trauma

Hypnotherapy can successfully treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma. There is no need to live with this debilitating problem.

trauma

I expect we've all had times in our childhood where we have felt embarrassed or humiliated. If we allow ourselves to remember an occasion like this in our childhood, many of us will experience the emotions similar to the way we experienced it at the time: we may remember sensations in our bodies, what was said to us and our thoughts we had back then. The fact that we can remember these emotions and thoughts, means that this information has been insufficiently processed.

These automatic thoughts, emotions and physical reactions may affect us when we come across similar circumstances as an adult. For example, if you were to be made to feel humiliated by your boss taunting you at a later date, you would feel the same humiliation you felt in your childhood, and perhaps even the same thoughts and reactions.

PTSD

The symptoms of PTSD are also caused by inappropriately stored memories of this type, and has other symptoms.

PTSD has 3 main symptoms:
  • Re-Experiencing: frequently and vividly recalling the traumatic event, e.g. flashbacks and nightmares.
  • Avoidance: Avoiding thinking about it, or sometimes amnesia for the event; decreased interest in others
  • Increased arousal: e.g. difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance, exaggerated startle response, difficulty sleeping.
Other problems can also occur, such as anxiety, depression, substance misuse, suicidal thoughts, relationship problems, anger and even psychophysiological problems such as lower back pain, headaches and gastrointestinal disorders.

It is important to get the right treatment for PTSD as well as trauma, as some forms of interventions could make things worse. It has been proven that therapy that involves merely talking in depth about those traumatic memories does not help, and in fact it could make things worse, by making you relive the trauma over and over again.

Rewind procedure: Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma can be effectively treated using the Rewind procedure and EMDR technique.
I have been trained in using the Rewind procedure, and have successfully treated people with PTSD within just a few sessions of hypnotherapy. Benefit is even possible after just one session. It's not even necessary to tell me what the trauma is, for the trauma to be treated.

Please contact me if you would like to make a booking to free yourself from PTSD or trauma now.
