PTSD & Trauma
What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition triggered by exposure to or witnessing traumatic events, which can significantly affect a person’s mental,emotional, and physical well-being. Traumatic experiences, such as... can happen to anyone. When they do, the brain may have difficulty processing the trauma, potentially leading to PTSD.
Common symptoms of PTSD
PTSD and trauma can manifest in a variety of ways, including:
Avoiding people, places or activities that act as a reminder of the trauma
Depression; persistent negative beliefs about oneself, others, or the world ​
Flashbacks: reliving the traumatic event through vivid memories and nightmares
Difficulty falling and staying asleep
Heightened state of anxiety, easily startled, irritability and sudden bursts of anger
Feeling detached from others, loss of interest in activities and difficulty experiencing positive emotions
These symptoms can interfere with daily life, making it difficult to function at work, maintain relationships, or feel fulfilled.
How hypnotherapy can help
Hypnotherapy can be a very powerful tool in helping individuals dealing with this condition, as it works not only to alleviate the symptoms of PTSD but also to resolve the root causes. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps individuals process and release the emotions and memories that have been stored in the body and mind. During hypnotherapy sessions, you are guided into a relaxed state where the subconscious mind becomes more open to healing and change. This process can help by:
1
Reprocessing Traumatic Memories
Hypnotherapy provides a safe environment to access and reframe traumatic memories by changing the emotional perception of the events and letting go of past fears. This reduces their emotional impact and the frequency of flashbacks.
2
Reducing Symptoms
Hyperarousal can keep the body in a constant fight-or-flight state, affecting daily life. Symptoms include hypervigilance, panic and an exaggerated startle response. Hypnotherapy promotes immediate relaxation and calms the nervous system.
3
Identifying triggers & avoidance behaviours
Triggers can worsen PTSD symptoms and lead to avoidance behaviours, often without being known. Accessing and resolving traumatic memories helps identify and reduce these triggers, thereby decreasing avoidance behaviours.
4
Improving sleep quality
Hypnotherapy addresses sleep issues by uncovering their root causes and promoting positive mental well-being. It involves processing emotions, inducing relaxation, changing negative thought patterns, and teaching coping strategies for stress.
