PTSD Concerns

Someone called me today to ask me how hypnosis works for PTSD. He is a student of psychology and works as an intern in a menatl health clinic where the psychiatrist uses hypnosis for PTSD and other issues.

In my experience, mostly with military members, PTSD can become reactivated when the person is under stress. It can cause disrupted sleep because of nightmares. It can impair judgement. It causes feelings of anxiety.

Hypnosis is the best form of stress reduction there is. And a person can be taught some kind of self-hypnosis in order to use it whenever something stressful occurs. Let's face it, stress happens. So a good technique to reduce it is beneficial. Self hypnosis is portable and inexpensive, and there are several different ways to do it. A good hypnotist or therapist can teach a relaxation technique like self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is often very beneficial for sleep issues, and every client I have worked with has reported better sleep for a few days after a session. When the person can relax and can feel refreshed after sleep, feelings like anxiety and frustration are reduced, and this is good for you physically, emotionally and even mentally, as people are better able to make decisions, concentrate and even remember things more easily.

PTSD is complicated, but hypnosis provides relief for many of the problems. Negative thinking can become a habit, and hypnosis is great for eliminating bad habits.
