Trauma, resulting from one or from several shattering events, keeps the nervous system caught in the flight-or-flight response. It sets us up for illness, mental and physical. It gives us an out-of-body feeling, with chronic anxiety, hyper-vigilance and sometimes also recurring nightmares.

With hypnosis, we can gently ease out of the fight-or-flight response and activate the body’s rest-and-restore response.

Alternating between the stress response and the rest response, we soften and release the imprint from the nervous system. We can cultivate a state of mind that is resilient and well resourced.
