PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition which can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic, frightening or stressful event. Serious accidents, physical or sexual assault, abuse, serious health problems, childbirth, grief, war, conflict and torture can be the causes of some distressing symptoms that significantly impact a person’s daily life.
I offer an individual approach, a calm, relaxed environment, whereby my client feels fully in control. Helping to reframe and reprogram the negative associations, allowing the client to recognise triggers and develop strategies to address them.

My Approach

During hypnotherapy for PTSD, I work on effective relaxation techniques and deepeners. It is essential a client feels safe and relaxed in order to be open to suggestion. For some, exploring past events and traumatic memories can be too overwhelming. So, I offer different tools and methods in my hypnotherapy, so the client can avoid unnecessary trauma.
After going through a traumatic situation, someone may get PTSD right away or it may take weeks, months, or even years for it to manifest. Memory suppression is often associated with PTSD as a defence mechanism.
Hypnotherapy can be a valuable path to healing and an emotional support that offers a deep reprogramming, reframing and reinforcing a positive association.
In my experience, hypnotherapy has been a huge help to people suffering PTSD. Being able to relax and cope day to day with a heightened emotional stress. Easing ticks and the anxiety which comes with being hyper vigilant, along with an improved quality of sleep, positively improving the quality of a person’s well-being.
