Medication is the usual course of action with most mental health conditions including PTSD, depression and anxiety and they most definitely have their place. But there is also another way.

Hypnosis can be very beneficial when used in treating PTSD. It has been found that during therapeutic hypnosis, a person may be able to examine the event without re-experiencing the emotional trauma. While in the hypnotic state and under the guidance of a professional, highly experienced therapist it can become easier to see the event from a disassociated point of view. This view allows the subconscious mind to process and reframe the emotions in a natural way.

PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people develop especially those that may have experienced shocking, scary, or dangerous events. It is completely natural for a person to feel afraid whilst involved in and after a traumatic situation whether directly involved or as a witness. Fear triggers a number of nanosecond changes within the body to help protect and defend against danger or to avoid it completely. This is known as the  “fight-or-flight” response.  This typical reaction is meant to act as an inbuilt protection mechanism to keep a person from harm. Most people when exposed to trama will experience a range of reactions, and for the majority most will overcome the initial symptoms naturally. But those persons who experience further problems may go on to be diagnosed with PTSD. In extreme cases people who have PTSD may feel concerned, stressed or frightened even when there is no presenting danger.
