PTSD is a mental disorder that affects over one million veterans on active duty each year. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are real and painful. The feelings of flashbacks, night terrors, avoidance, and hyperarousal can keep you locked in a cycle of misery long after the trauma ends.
Fortunately, PTSD is treatable, even if you’ve never struggled with stress and anxiety.
In this blog post, we’ll learn more about PTSD — from the root causes to effective treatments, including the benefits of using hypnosis to help conquer any lingering anxiety or fear.
What Is PTSD?
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)occurs after an encounter with a traumatic event — one that involves real or threatened death or serious injury. The symptoms of PTSD can be extreme, including intrusive memories, sleeplessness, nightmares, negative thoughts, racing heart, sweating, shaking, irritability, avoiding people, passive aggression, and depression.
The symptoms of PTSD often reoccur when people are exposed to similar traumatic events like car accidents, natural disasters, and child abuse.PTSD can also be triggered by other kinds of stressors in our lives – such as poverty, domestic violence, and substance abuse like alcohol and drug addiction.
How To Overcome PTSD with Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a powerful tool for healing. Hypnosis can help you:
1. Deal with your emotions more positively
It’s very easy to become trapped in the negative emotions of PTSD.
But with hypnosis, you can change how you think and feel about the things that happen to you.Thus the first step in overcoming PTSD is dealing with your emotions more positively. By accepting your emotions and learning to recognize triggers, you can prevent them from overwhelming you and causing distress in the future.
2. Overcome your trauma and heal from the past
Many people who experience PTSD have difficulty coping with their symptoms. That’s why hypnosis is so effective in treating PTSD because it allows you to release your trauma by recalling it in detail. You have no control over what you remember during hypnosis and you can access your inner resources for subconscious healing.
3. Cope with anxiety
Hypnosis is a technique used to put you in a state of deep relaxation. As you relax, your brainwaves slow down and become more similar to those of someone who is sleeping deeply. This allows your body to communicate with your mind about what’s going on in the present moment — which works well for anxiety and depression.
