If you are struggling to manage sustained trauma like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you know how valuable it is to find a treatment option that works. Hypnotherapy for trauma has proven to be a successful therapy with rapid results. As you begin your journey of using hypnosis for PTSD, let’s take a look at a few things you should know about trauma and its effects on the mind and body.
People may explore hypnotherapy for trauma for a variety of reasons. Trauma affects nearly everyone in life. However, PTSD is used to classify traumatic events which cause ongoing distress for more than one month after the event.
Over time, traumatic memories wreak havoc on the mind, resulting in physical and chemical responses in the body. This type of “bad” stress causes the body to create an abundance of cortisol, the body’s stress chemical. Too much cortisol is the culprit for impeding the body’s natural immune response, and has been linked to a variety of inflammatory diseases.
This is why it is so important for those suffering from any type of trauma to seek help to take back control of their mind. Hypnotherapy for PTSD is an excellent, and empowering option.
What is Hypnotherapy for Trauma?
Hypnotherapy for PTSD, as well as other sustained traumas, guides clients into a trance-like state which will help treat specific behavioral patterns and revise subconscious beliefs. While in a state of hypnosis, a state of deep relaxation can be achieved, helping therapists guide their clients with ease. This allows qualified practitioners to impress and encourage beneficial and productive behaviors upon the subconscious mind with greater efficacy.
Clients who have endured traumas which result in a PTSD diagnosis can often be reluctant to discuss their feelings or thoughts surrounding the traumatic experience. This can complicate treatment efforts during conventional talk therapy. Many may not actually recall the source of the trauma, thus resulting in uncertainty and confusion.
Fortunately, hypnotherapy for trauma allows clients to explore their mind’s deep seated-beliefs and traumas in a safe and reassuring environment. This can lead to shorter treatment times and improved quality of life.
