Everything Catch hypnotherapists have learned about PTSD, they have learned from their clients. All Catch hypnotherapists are literally learning from the horse’s mouth, in terms of how PTSD feels, what causes it, and how one eliminates it.
Sometimes, clients see and feel the most amazing things which not only put all their symptoms into context, but also switch off every single one of them.
Here is one client’s story, explaining what he saw, and how it helped him turn off all PTSD symptoms, instantly. Watch this video or read on.
One Catch hypnotherapy client, a US Marine, who was suffering severe PTSD, was taken into deep relaxation using hypnosis. Rather than following anything that was being said, he reported that he suddenly felt like he was sitting on a string of fairy lights, and every single light around him represented something that had happened to him, that was difficult, sad, scary or traumatic.
He said he found himself moving down this string of fairy lights, seeing each incident in his mind, as he went back through all the years of his life.
He said it felt like a dream, where everything was happening around him, and he was not controlling it in any way. As he got further and further down the string, he realized his own body was getting smaller and younger, which fascinated him.
He was getting down to the very last few lights on the string of fairy lights, basically the very first things that had happened to him, and he said he suddenly saw the plug, and he instinctively knew that was the first time he had ever been scared; terrified.
“That fear, that feeling I might not survive, was the energy fuelling the fear in every other scary situation that had occurred in my life, like electricity to those lights” he said. ‘And I just knew that I had to pull the plug, now I had seen it and understood that.’
He said he could hear the hypnotherapist’s voice, talking about something completely different, as he reached out and pulled the plug out of the wall. All the lights on the string of fairy lights went out, and all the fear and anxiety he had been experiencing disappeared.
In CATCH hypnotherapy we don’t ask a client what is happening in their mind during hypnotherapy, and there is no requirement to share anything afterwards. It is private. But when this client came back to the fully conscious state, like waking up from a sleep, he was eager to explain what had happened. He said he felt totally different, like everything had been explained to him, and he could let it go. Now, years later, he has had no return of any symptoms. He no longer suffers from crippling, unexplained, emotions or physical symptoms, or flashbacks, which had become almost constant. He feels his reactions to events in life are normal now, and that he got his life back.
