What Is Hypnotherapy for PTSD?

I use Hypnosis, a deep state of relaxation as a therapeutic tool to access the subconscious mind where traumatic memories are stored. In this deeply relaxed state you remain fully aware and in control. It's like being on the cusp of sleep, if you wanted to you could bring yourself round but it's so relaxing and dreamy you'd rather not.  Whilst in this deep relaxation we can access the subconscious beliefs and memories that are keeping your nervous system locked in survival, bringing in healing and ultimately change.

 

In the space that is held for you we can build up to accessing distressing memories which can be gently re-framed, the trauma can be released from your body, the emotional wounds tended to and focus can be shifted towards living your life free from the restrictions caused by the trauma. Hypnotherapy offers a deeply calming experience that supports trauma recovery and with a commitment to ongoing regular sessions allows you to retrain your nervous system to a new baseline.

Why this style of Hypnotherapy trumps traditional talk therapies.

Many turn to hypnotherapy when traditional talk therapy or medication hasn’t provided complete relief from their symptoms. 95% of our behaviour is driven by the subconscious. Traditional talk therapies like CBT and counselling are only working with the conscious 5%. They only scratch the surface. EMDR is highly renowned for trauma yet often whilst discharging the triggers it does not offer the depth of psychological resolution creative analytical hypnotherapy and psychotherapy (the style of Hypnotherapy I offer) can.

Hypnotherapy Supports PTSD Healing

Here’s how hypnotherapy helps:

•    Reduces PTSD Triggers and Flashbacks
Safe regression to revisit traumatic memories in a calm, controlled space where emotional intensity can be managed, avoiding re-traumatization.

•    Relieves Anxiety and Hypervigilance
Learn powerful relaxation techniques that calm the nervous system and help you manage external triggers more confidently as they arise.

•    Improves Sleep and Minimizes Nightmares
Hypnotic suggestions can be used to promote restful sleep and over the time working with me as your trauma is revisited and resolved in the subconscious the frequency and severity of trauma-related dreams will be reduced.

•    Rebuilds Self-Trust and Inner Safety
Replace limiting beliefs seeded in traumatic experiences like “I’m not safe” or “I can’t cope” with new empowering ones like “I am healing” and “I am now in control.”

•    Promotes a Holistic Recovery Process
Integrates well with other trauma treatments and often accelerates results through subconscious re-patterning. I highly recommend pairing working with me with having Craniosacral Therapy to support the release of trauma from the physical body.

What to Expect During a Hypnotherapy Session

Every session I attune to your needs and what feels manageable for you. We begin with some conversation where I am listening deeply with compassion and judgement free for a thread which we can follow back to the root cause.  I work in a trauma-informed way and will check in with you often. for example 'I am sensing some emotional charge as you mentioned xyz, are you happy to take a closer look at that?' Once we agree on a focus and when you are ready I can take you through some guided relaxation using therapeutic visualization into a space that feels safe for you where we’ll gently and curiously explore the unrest you have been experiencing following the clues you are given by the subconscious mind all the way back to the root.  We can explore using multiple different psychotherapy approaches depending on what your subconscious mind shows us, adapting to meet you exactly where you are now rather than forcing anything. You will find the sessions have a natural flow to them and obvious progress is made. Through working with me you will learn practical ways to support yourself in building resilience and helping to manage your PTSD symptoms between sessions.

Is Hypnotherapy Right for Your PTSD Recovery?
 

Hypnotherapy is ideal if:
•    You’ve tried other PTSD treatments but still feel stuck
•    You prefer a non-medication approach to trauma healing
•    You want to feel more in control of your emotions and recovery
•    You seek a deeper, more subconscious-level shift

Creative Analytical Hypnotherapy is not a quick fix—but it is a proven, compassionate and empowering therapy that can help you release trauma and restore peace.

Scientific Evidence for Hypnotherapy and PTSD
 

Clinical studies consistently show that hypnotherapy leads to significant reductions in PTSD symptoms, especially in anxiety, sleep disruption, and emotional dis-regulation. Many clients report:

•    Better sleep quality
•    Fewer panic attacks
•    Increased emotional stability
•    A renewed sense of calm and confidence in daily life

Importantly, you are always in control. You guide the pace, depth, and direction of your healing.
