If you have been diagnosed with PTSD, you may be suffering from anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, or fatigue. But did you know that two other conditions create exactly the same symptoms as PTSD. They are adrenal fatigue and low testosterone.
It may be impossible to know which of these is responsible for YOUR specific symptoms, and indeed, all three may be related.
As you may know, the adrenal glands sit just above your kidneys, and they produce adrenalin and cortisol. When you are stressed these chemicals surge through the body, but then get reabsorbed back into the adrenal glands within three minutes.
However, if you have had a traumatic life, with years of emotional trauma, especially in childhood, you may lack the enzymes needed to reabsorb adrenalin and cortisol.
This lacking enzyme was discovered by an Austrian doctor. This means that not only are you likely to suffer panic attacks, high anxiety and hyper-vigilance, which can go unchecked for hours, you are also likely, if you are a man, to be deficient in testosterone.
This is because testosterone is also mostly produced in the adrenal glands, but if they are busy trying to keep up a steady flow of NEW adrenalin and cortisol, the body cuts off testosterone production! It doesn’t have the capacity to dual produce.
If the body stops making testosterone for a few minutes, or hours, it is not a serious problem. It is prioritizing what the body needs most at that moment.
But if you have worked or lived in a highly-stressful environment, day after day, for months or even for years, your testosterone level may be critically low, and that is what might be causing your symptoms, which could be mistakenly diagnosed as PTSD.
Men who have experienced highly-stressful environments for a prolonged length of time should have their testosterone level tested, and should be aware that there are maximum and minimum levels, with an 18 year-old boy having a maximum level and a 90 year old man at minimum. If you test at minimum level and you are 45, there is a problem, whatever the doctor might say.
The good thing is that CATCH hypnotherapy helps sufferers whether they have adrenal fatigue, low testosterone, OR PTSD. The very process of CATCH hypnotherapy can prompt the body to start making the missing enzyme to absorb adrenalin and cortisol. So panic attacks can stop, anxiety levels drop and fatigue will disappear. CATCH hypnotherapy can also raise testosterone levels by reducing stress, so the body can start making adequate levels of testosterone again, especially if carried out in tandem with a diet aimed at maximizing testosterone. This alone can end all symptoms.
But if there are repressed emotions in the body, as a result of everything you have experienced, CATCH hypnotherapy can also find the root cause of those feelings and eliminate them.
