Hypnotherapy helps by accessing the subconscious mind, where traumatic memories and related emotional responses are stored.

Hypnotherapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to process trauma symptoms and reactions.

Reduces Arousal and Anxiety: The hypnotic state induces deep physical and mental relaxation. This helps to calm the nervous system's "fight or flight" response, reducing hypervigilance and general anxiety.

Manages Emotional Triggers: The therapist uses positive suggestions to help the mind reframe the traumatic memory. This changes your emotional reaction to triggers, reducing the intensity and frequency of flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and nightmares.
