Healing from Trauma with Hypnotherapy

A Journey to Your True Self

Trauma can leave lasting scars, affecting  how we think, feel and behave every day. This can be forgotten, almost inconsequential trauma that can result in fears or phobias, or deeper traumas that we shy away from addressing out of the fear that this will be too painful, that we may not recover from our distress, or even that we will be re-traumatised by delving into the origins.

Fear can keep us completely paralysed. But if we remain paralysed, we stay stuck with the effects of our trauma.

What if you could heal those deep wounds in a gentle, effective way?

Hypnotherapy with Hanson Hypnotherapy offers an innovative approach, teaching coping skills, techniques that are based in dialectical behaviour therapy and using powerful psychological techniques to help uncover and process the root causes of trauma:

Schema therapy: This technique helps identify and challenge the deeply ingrained beliefs formed during traumatic experiences, or even less than ideal childhood experiences. By accessing these patterns in a relaxed, hypnotic state, we can reframe negative thoughts and beliefs and shift your mindset towards healthier, more positive beliefs about yourself and the world. In conjunction with regression, I can help to provide the “emotional vitamins” that you were lacking in early life and almost re-write your history with you in such a way that it’s almost as if we have deleted the past and re-written it how it should have been.

Parts therapy: We often experience internal conflict, where different parts or ourselves are stuck in old patterns (ever wanted to lose weight, but a part of you keeps reaching for chocolate?). Parts therapy helps you to understand, heal and integrate these fragmented parts so that you can achieve inner harmony, a quieter mind free from negative chatter, and break free from the emotional pain that keeps you trapped in old patterns of behaviour.

Regression: Regression allows you to gently return to past memories, uncovering the root cause of your trauma, but this can be done with emotional distance so that it is much less painful or distressing. Be reliving and reprocessing these experiences in a safe and controlled way, you can release the emotions attached to them, enabling deep healing. Together, we can then re-write the past to give you corrective emotional experiences (“emotional vitamins”) to cement your healing.

I also practice solution-focussed hypnotherapy for those not at a point where they wish to delve into the past, or where such an approach is unnecessary. Together, we can create the positive future you want and deserve.

Hypnotherapy with me can meet you where you’re at in terms of your wants, needs and recovery. We can focus on coping skills, resolve all manner of issues in the present, or address the root cause of your symptoms (not just the conscious surface level) as and when your subconscious mind is ready to do so. Rather than just focussing on managing the emotional aftermath, these techniques allow you to dig deep, heal, and emerge stronger than before – all in the least painful and least invasive way.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, consider therapy with Hanson Hypnotherapy as a tool to guide you to a more peaceful, balanced life.

Why not book a 20-minute free, no-commitment breakthrough call to chat through what’s going on for you and see how I could help? I’d be delighted to help you move forwards when you are ready to contemplate a brighter future, free from the shackles of the past.

Confidence and Overall Wellness

What have I gained from hypnotherapy? A greater sense of knowing me and how to serve myself not others…. Be kind to oneself, more self-love and appreciation. The sessions were perfect, definitely targeted on my specific issue (confidence, overall wellness). I always came away feeling refreshed and rejuvenated….I would definitely recommend Janet, and in fact have already done this, and - I would definitely use her service in the future.

Low Mood and Anxiety

I wanted to achieve some clarity on how and why my mind works, and to be able to implement a strategy to help ease my depression. With the help and support from Janet I feel I made massive progress.

Anxiety about holidays

With a long-haul flight coming up I felt I needed to seek help about the anxiety I experienced when flying and travelling. I had sessions with Janet and could not believe the difference in myself and how calm I felt. The whole journey did not phase me and it was the first holiday I have been on and not wanted to come back. I would highly recommend Janet, who instantly put me at my ease and explains everything, teaching me ways to cope with anxiety whilst she is very professional. It feels like I'm visiting a friend.

Schema-focussed Hypnotherapy – A Real Solution

I initially met Janet through accompanying my son to an appointment. I was immediately impressed by her explanation of how trauma affected our view of the world, and how added stressors could tip us into modes of being that made navigating the world feel impossible. I was then astounded at how, after only a few sessions, he was released from issues that were seriously impacting his mental health. It was then that I decided to begin therapy for myself. Decades of Psychotherapy had left me with an understanding of the 'why's' of my thought patterns and behaviours, but not the... Read All

I was then astounded at how, after only a few sessions, he was released from issues that were seriously impacting his mental health. It was then that I decided to begin therapy for myself. Decades of Psychotherapy had left me with an understanding of the 'why's' of my thought patterns and behaviours, but not the ability to move past them. The Hypnotherapy, coupled with Janet's vast experience in Psychotherapy, uncovered their deep, unconscious roots. I am finally experiencing freedom in areas of my life that I didn't feel were possible. Janet's therapy offers a unique combination of Professional help that offers a real solution. She is a Healer in the true sense of the word, and I will always be grateful for what she has done for both my Son and my myself! Highly recommended!!
