Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Below are some common signs and symptoms of PTSD you may recognise.

Everyone’s experience is different so you may experience some, all or none of these signs and symptoms ie:

• Reliving aspects of what happened
• Alertness or feeling on edge
• Avoiding feelings or memories
• Difficult beliefs or feelings

Each person’s experience of PTSD is unique to them. You might have experienced a similar type of trauma to someone else and yet be affected in different ways. I will therefore work with you to first understand what exactly is your own experience of PTSD and how this manifests itself and agree with you what positive outcome(s) you want from working with me using hypnotherapy – please go to this link Hypnotherapy Session Structure to understand how hypnotherapy works.

I can then explain the relevant techniques that will suit you best and we can agree on the way forward ie to agree:

• The number of sessions you may need or we can just proceed one session at a time – it is entirely up to you
• Whether or not some self-hypnosis between sessions and/or after the sessions have ended would be beneficial for you
• Whether or not some additional work between sessions that you can do yourself would help your progress in dealing with your issue(s)

Rest assured that by collaborating and working together, we can achieve the positive changes you are looking for.
