Hypnotherapy
Have you ever understood exactly what you want to change, yet found yourself slipping back into an old way of thinking or behaving? Sometimes the beliefs we formed earlier in life continue to influence how we feel about ourselves, even when they no longer reflect who we are or what we are capable of.
RTT hypnotherapy gives us space to explore those deeper beliefs and the experiences that may have shaped them. I particularly work with confidence, self belief, purpose and freedom of expression. Together, we look at what may be holding you back and work towards a more supportive way of seeing yourself.
Your package begins with an initial session to talk through what you would like help with. You will have the chance to experience hypnosis and receive a relaxing audio to use before our longer RTT session. During that session, we explore possible root causes and work with the beliefs and feelings we uncover. I then create a personalised audio for you to listen to afterwards, and we meet again for a follow up session to reflect on your progress and any support you may need next.
Sessions are available in person and online.
NLPt Trauma Therapy
How could therapy help you?
Perhaps you feel held back by self doubt, find it difficult to express yourself, or keep returning to a pattern you thought you had moved beyond.
Hypnotherapy offers a calm, supportive space to explore what may be beneath that pattern and begin to see yourself in a new way. e can also work at moving past traumatic events that keep you locked in the past.
You do not need to have all the answers before we begin. We can start with what you would like to feel or do differently.
This is specifically for those suffering the ongoing effects of a trauma memory. It desensitises the memory and allows the client reconciliation by reworking it. Essentially , when we are exposed to a traumatic event the memory can get stuck in the amygdala, thus creating a sympathetic nervous system flight/freeze response. PTSD is this response stuck on repeat. The sessions facilitate the reworking of the memory so it can be stored in the hippocampus and processed as a long term memory without the triggering responses.
This therapy is effective for both simple and complex PTSD and gets good results in up to 3 sessions. It gives the client control and safety.
How do I know it's PTSD?
Where you sense yourself disregulating ( ie: going into a flight or freeze response ) or if you dissociate in certain situations that you find emotionally difficult ( are physically present but drift away almost like out of body experiences ) its likely that you have some degree of PTSD. This is especially evident if you have flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts about the trauma memory.
Dealing with trauma can seem scary and difficult - our natural response is to move away from things that are troubling, but sometimes we need help in processing those memories before we can move on. This therapy is dealt with sensitively and with a caring , supportive framework where you are gently moved forward to a more healthy and happy state where memories are put in their rightful place.
One Client's Story
"I was exposed to the shocking traumatic event which came along with a scary dream. I was experiencing PTSD symptoms, especially nightmares, flashbacks and fears were very vivid. I was searching for someone who can guide me safely through it and who can release trauma from my nervous system that I can feel safe again. Sarah did that within 2 sessions. She is such an amazing therapist and guide. She made me feel safe and I felt very confident and confortable working with her. I trusted her fully. It Is truly amazing how my body and mind worked together and how all fears were released. I felt very calm yet empowered after our session. Next night I woke up during the night - there were no fears.
I'm forever grateful to you Sarah, you are doing an amazing job."
