When people are victims of trauma they are already in a state close to hypnosis as they are unable to escape the fearful thoughts that are running through their minds. It makes sense to use this same state to help them to free themselves of these painful memories thus over coming their fears and recover their lives.
Many of the clients that have come in to see me with presenting problems that looked like over eating, alcoholism, depression, anger, fear, etc. went back to traumas that they suffered during their childhoods. In some of my more recent cases, men who had been sexually abused by adults that they were supposed to be able to trust before they were sexually active themselves, created a pattern of compulsive sexual behavior that many of them paid a great deal of money to experience. There was even one case where a gentleman called in to say that he could not experience a normal loving relationship with a woman. Upon more discussion he was able to explain that his mother left him right after he was born therefore never creating the normal attachment with the opposite sex.
Sometimes with woman who have been sexually abused, they will get into the sex trades going back to the idea of either getting back at the man who abused them by getting money for the act, or looking for love in the wrong places usually wanting a “father figure” to fill in for the father they never felt loved them.
There are also many cases where one or more of the parents were alcoholic creating a home environment that could be full of screaming and fighting. In some cases it was just the parents that were involved and in others the children were also victims of the abuse as well.
In all of these cases the miracle workings of the unconscious mind was able to allow the client to reframe the manner in which the traumas were originally conceived to understand that the simple truth is that as a child you have not got much control over the situation at hand, while the parents were doing the best that they could given their own circumstances at the time. The process also allows them to forgive the people who created the traumas and any problems that might have been brought on. In many cases they actually realize how much they loved their parents and it feels good to be able to see them in a better light especially if their parents have passed on.
The other learning typically is that they can now let go of the past, become the person that they would rather be In the process they have cleared whatever the presenting problem is that they brought in with them, understanding the adult that they are now, is responsible for creating the life that is fulfilling for them.
When you are looking to work with a hypnotist around trauma release do find out what their experience is around these issues. You want to find someone who has had experience working in the field of psychology to understand the workings of the mind and who has been successful with cases such as yours. Ask for testimonials. If you are already working with a mental health professional in terms of trauma, the hypnotist would be wise to get a referral from that person so that they can work together on your case. In many states in the United States it is mandatory for he hypnotist to do so.
