Trauma

After a traumatic event or events,  your subconscious mind can develop inappropriate protective strategies. 

It attempts to steer you away from something terrible happening to you again by setting off alarm bells every time a similar threat is sensed…even when those threats are not actually real.

Using hypnotherapy, we are able to reach the subconscious and work to change this unhelpful pattern with one that is more appropriate.

Usually, it is incredibly difficult to change an ingrained subconscious pattern. This is because once the subconscious enacts a behaviour that it believes is working to protect you, it will continue that pattern.

Hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective in trauma responses as the over-protective behaviour is seated in the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy can lead to lasting positive change.

Our hypnotherapy process does not include taking the person back to the event that caused the trauma. That would have the effect of re-traumatising the person.

Instead, through direct communication with the part of the subconscious that oversees the traumatic response, we are able to change that pattern.

As humans, we are constantly changing – are you the same person you were as a child? As you were two years ago? No, we are constantly learning new behaviours to adapt to whatever life throws our way!

The good news is that unhelpful behaviours, including trauma responses, are learnt. Therefore, new and more helpful behaviours that don’t include trauma responses can also be learnt.
