How Can Hypnotherapy Help with PTSD
Reducing the intensity of flashbacks and nightmares
By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy will help to reframe your thoughts, reducing the emotional charge attached traumatic experiences. This can help diminish the frequency and intensity of flashbacks and nightmares, allowing you to regain a sense of control over your thoughts and emotions.
Rewiring the brain’s response to trauma
Trauma can cause the brain’s “fight-or-flight” response to become overstimulated, leading to constant anxiety and heightened stress. During our sessions, we work to rewire these neural pathways, allowing the brain to shift from a state of hyperarousal to calm. This can help break the cycle of stress and fear, allowing the individual to respond to triggers in a healthier, more balanced way.
Building emotional resilience and inner strength
Hypnotherapy empowers you to focus on their strengths, encouraging emotional healing and resilience. By guiding you to visualise a peaceful, empowered self, hypnotherapy helps to rebuild self-confidence and trust in your ability to heal. Over time, this can lead to greater emotional stability and a more positive outlook on life, helping you take steps forward and regain control of your wellbeing.
