What is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder?

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, rape or other violent personal assault. It often consists of a series of symptoms such as:
  1. Disturbing flashbacks (reliving a violent scene)
    Nightmares or recurrent bad dreams
  2. Anxiety that can cause chronic physical pain, body tensions, teeth grinding, stress and tension
  3. Over reacting to situations
  4. Sudden outbursts of rage or temper tantrums
  5. Sudden and unexplainable fears or phobias
  6. Sleep disorders
  7. Inability to concentrate, loss of memory

Triggers (or people and situations that remind of the previous trauma) are also a common indication of PTSD.

These triggers can be very upsetting for any PTSD victim especially those who don't know they have it, or are unfamiliar with the nature of the triggers. It is very difficult to get rid of the triggers on your own and through many forms of therapy that address this issue only from the conscious mind. Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based treatment and can effectively treat these symptoms as well as the underlying causes because it addresses your subconscious mind, where all our memories, traumas, and limited beliefs lie, The type of hypnosis I use in my sessions also includes addressing your super-conscious mind and connects you to the part of you that is eternal and perfect and does not have any fractions. This in itself has already a very healing affect.
