PTSD & Trauma Recovery

PTSD & Trauma Recovery: Reclaim Your Life

 

Understanding PTSD and Trauma

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and trauma can profoundly impact your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, as well as your relationships. PTSD often arises from experiencing or witnessing traumatic events such as accidents, assaults, natural disasters, or situations involving intense fear, helplessness, or horror.

Trauma can be complex, ranging from single incidents to prolonged or repeated distressing experiences. Its effects might include flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, and heightened alertness. These responses can make it feel as though the trauma is ongoing, with your mind trying to protect you from further harm.

 

The Path to Healing

Living with PTSD or trauma can feel overwhelming, but recovery is possible. Through our work together, you can begin to heal those deep emotional wounds, allowing you to live a life no longer overshadowed by the past. Healing is a journey, often resembling the Hero's Journey, where you navigate challenges, find support, and emerge transformed.

 

The Hero's Journey: A Path to Recovery

1. The Call to Adventure: Acknowledging the need for help with PTSD is the first step. This journey begins with recognising the impact trauma has on your life and deciding to seek a path toward healing.

2. Crossing the Threshold: Entering therapy is akin to crossing into a new realm. It’s where you commit to exploring your trauma and beginning the healing process. This phase involves facing your fears and vulnerabilities with support.

3. Trials and Allies: As you delve deeper, you’ll encounter emotional challenges and confront the trauma’s effects. I will be your ally, offering support through tailored techniques such as hypnosis, NLP, and EFT. Together, we will work through these trials, building resilience and finding strength.

4. The Transformation: Through our work, you will begin to transform. By processing traumatic memories and understanding their impact, you’ll shift from feeling overwhelmed to empowered. This transformation allows you to reclaim control over your emotions and life.

5. The Return: Emerging from the healing process, you return to your life with newfound strength and understanding. This phase involves integrating the lessons learned and applying them to your everyday experiences, leading to a renewed sense of peace and confidence.

How I Can Help You

Recovering from PTSD and trauma is a deeply personal journey. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and experiences. Here’s how I can support you:

  • Safe and Confidential Environment: In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can speak openly about your experiences without fear of judgment. Creating a safe, confidential environment is crucial for helping you feel comfortable enough to explore and process your trauma.
  • Gentle Processing Techniques: I use gentle yet effective techniques to help you process traumatic memories in a manageable way. By working with the subconscious mind, we can gradually reduce the emotional intensity of these memories, making them easier to cope with.
  • Empowerment Through Understanding: Understanding how trauma affects the brain and body can be empowering. I’ll help you make sense of your symptoms, seeing them as normal responses to abnormal situations rather than something inherently wrong with you.
  • Tailored Therapy Approaches: I incorporate a range of therapeutic techniques, including hypnosis, NLP, and EFT, to help you release the grip trauma has on your life. These approaches can help reframe your responses to traumatic triggers, reduce anxiety, and restore a sense of peace and control.
  • Building Resilience: Part of recovery involves building resilience and learning strategies to manage stress and anxiety in the future. We’ll work on techniques that help you regain control over your thoughts and emotions, empowering you to move forward with confidence.
  • Long-Term Support: Recovery from trauma doesn’t happen overnight, and I’m here to support you for as long as you need. Whether you’re just beginning to confront your trauma or have been on this journey for a while, we can work together to create lasting change.

Personal Experience

Having supported my husband through his own journey with PTSD, I understand firsthand the challenges and victories of this path. I have utilised these techniques to help him navigate some of his toughest days, providing insight and reassurance throughout the process. This personal experience reinforces my commitment to helping you achieve a similar transformation.

Get Started

"My life has changed since I met Nicole. She has been so supportive and her knowledge of hypnotherapy and NLP are second to none. After only one session I was able to let go of the hold my narcissistic mother had over me. The negative self talk is dramatically reduced, my confidence increased and I feel able to believe in myself once again. If you have anything in your life that is holding you back, speak to Nicole, you won’t be disappointed."

Email Testimonial from C.S December 2021

"Nicole has huge empathy and gets straight to the point of the problem; her concise questions helped her to understand very quickly how she could help me with managing some chronic pain. And she certainly did help me! Within just one session, my pain was hugely reduced and a couple of days later, it dawned on me that I wasn’t actually in pain any more! Nicole’s soothing tones and guidance had made a massive difference and this had been achieved through a process that was so relaxing and enjoyable that I wouldn’t hesitate to go to Nicole again. She’s a star!"

"oh my gosh, sending you a huge thanks for last night. I feel different, lighter and my shoulders do not feel so tense. Something feels like it is missing, but in the best way. I am also smiling more!"
