Hypnotherapy is often seen as a quick-fix therapy. People think if you want something to stop, you tell the body to stop it while you are in a hypnotic state, and magically it works. That can certainly be true for simple issues like giving up smoking, or stopping biting your fingernails.
You might just be doing that out of habit, and the body, using hypnotherapy, can alter habit patterns very effectively.
However, if you are smoking or biting your fingernails to soothe you, or calm yourself, to push down anxiety, to distract you from something that has upset you, removing a habit which has a purpose in your body may just prompt it to create another one. A replacement.
You might stop smoking, but start overeating; stop nail-biting but start hair pulling, or even self-harming.
When someone has suffered some level of emotional trauma, even as far back as childhood, the body can create no end of symptoms, not only to try to soothe you, keep you safe, and deflect you from thinking about it, but also as indicators, clues, pointers to what happened.
With CPTSD, all this can be happening at the same time, from smoking, to drinking, to anxiety, to depression, to pain, to paralysis.
Removing any one symptom with hypnotherapy, however well intentioned, can prompt another, even more troublesome one to start in its place.
That is why PTSD is like the Heads of Hydra. Cut one off, before you know where it is actually coming from, and another one forms.
The good news is that CatchPTSD hypnotherapists know this, and know how to access the cause, to disable all those heads at once.
Psychiatrists in WW1 and WW2 realised that by using hypnosis they could make soldiers walk again, and eradicate their pain, tics and stammers, but they knew never to take the symptom away until the person had found out where it originated.
To have done so would have removed the communication channel which the symptom was providing for the body. The body does not take kindly to being thwarted. If that symptom was a clue, it will just generate more clues, which could be more disabling.
When people engage in clinical hypnotherapy, the communication channel is essentially flung wide open, and the reason for the symptoms can be made clear, negating the need for any more.
If you are suffering from PTSD, we know you just want it to stop. Now!
It is not uncommon for many issues to resolve after just one session of hypnotherapy, and all of them to be gone in a few weeks. All you have to do is take the time to find out why they are there.
Police clients like hypnotherapy because it is detective work, but while totally relaxed; perhaps more relaxed than they have been in years.
Military clients like it because it ties up all the loose ends.
First responders like it because it gives them a whole new perspective on health matters.
Civilians like it because it gives them the relief they have been searching for their whole life.
