Releasing Childhood Trauma Through Hypnosis

Seeking healing and peace can be a lifelong journey, especially when trauma stems from one’s childhood. Hypnosis for childhood traumas can be a powerful tool in addressing and overcoming this. Keep reading to explore the connection between hypnotherapy sessions and the release of trauma from childhood. Hypnotherapy can help and I’m happy to show you. 

Understanding Childhood Trauma

In the United States, 34.8 million children—nearly half of American children—are exposed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that can severely harm their future health and well-being. Childhood trauma can leave a lasting impact on our lives, influencing our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors well into adulthood. It can be like a heavy weight to carry through your lifetime and end up affecting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. When it comes to releasing this childhood trauma, hypnosis can offer a gentle yet effective way to release these deep-rooted wounds and free yourself from their grasp. As a type of therapy that can combat PTSD, anxiety, and phobias, many of the same aspects of hypnotherapy can combat childhood trauma. 

How Childhood Trauma Affects You

Childhood trauma can seriously affect a child’s growth and development, impacting their emotions, thoughts, and physical health. Kids who go through traumatic experiences often struggle with anxiety and depression, finding it hard to manage their feelings. Their cognitive development can also suffer, making it difficult for them to concentrate, remember things, and solve problems, leading to school challenges. Also, the constant stress from trauma may cause long-term health problems and behavioral issues such as aggression, withdrawal, or risky behaviors as they try to cope with their traumatic memories.

The effects of childhood trauma don’t just go away with time. If not addressed, these issues can follow you into adulthood, affecting your relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Adults who experienced childhood trauma often find it hard to trust others and form healthy relationships. You might struggle with Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and feelings of worthlessness or inadequacy.

Ultimately, these unhealed traumas could lead to coping strategies such as over-eating, substance abuse, drinking, and other addictions. These lingering effects can disrupt everyday life and make it difficult to live your life to the fullest. Understanding and addressing these long-term effects is essential for helping you to heal and lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

One effective approach to healing from these deep-seated wounds is hypnotherapy. Professional hypnotherapists can guide you into a deep state of relaxation, allowing access to the subconscious mind where traumatic memories are stored. This can help alleviate symptoms of PTSD and support a positive healing journey.

How Does Hypnosis for Childhood Trauma Work?

So, how does hypnosis work, you ask? Let me help explain. When we’re in a hypnotic state, our conscious mind takes a back seat, allowing our subconscious to come to the forefront. This is where the real work happens. Through guided visualization, positive suggestions, and deep relaxation, a skilled hypnotherapist can help us explore and reframe the memories and beliefs that have been holding us back. In a regular hypnotherapy session, I first start with getting my clients in a comfortable position. For some that’s lying down, for others, it’s just sinking into a regular chair. From there, we start off with the process of what we call progressive relaxation until entering a nice state of hypnosis. From there, we begin the hypnotherapy work exploring positive self-talk and the challenges you are experiencing both now and from the past. 

Imagine yourself as a powerful protagonist in your own story, rewriting the script of your past to create a brighter, more empowering narrative. With hypnosis, we can access the inner resources and resilience that have been overshadowed by pain and fear, allowing us to release old patterns and embrace new possibilities. But it’s not just about waving a magic wand and poof! – trauma is gone. Healing takes time, patience, and commitment. Each hypnosis session is a step forward on your journey, peeling back the layers of hurt and unveiling the radiant spirit that lies beneath. There is no set amount of hypnotherapy sessions to release certain traumas or face certain fears. Each person and their recovery will look different. With an initial consultation, I will be able to provide you with a better estimate of sessions you may need to start seeing improvements.

How Kelly Has Helped Several Clients Through Hypnotherapy for Childhood Trauma

1. Breaking a 60+ Years Habit – Jeffery

Jeffery, at the age of 68, shared his struggle with onychophagia (nail biting) that stuck with him since his earliest memory of his parents humiliating me not to do it. Despite numerous attempts over the years to stop, including foul-tasting ointments and creams, he couldn’t break the habit. His doctor had no solutions either. Turning to the internet, Jeffery discovered hypnosis and decided to try it. After just three sessions with Kelly, he completely stopped biting his nails—a habit he had for over 60 years. Eight months later, he remains free of the urge, allowing him to confidently show his hands in public.
