Get expert help to greatly reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of PTSD with a breakthrough method—experience hypnotherapy and NLP with Kelly Gerling Ph.D.
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a condition of having troubling symptoms related to memories of traumatic incidents. From events experienced in war, to personal or family traumatic events, PTSD can afflict anyone. The symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks of traumatic incidents, hyper-awareness, hypervigilance, hyper-sensitivity, violence, addiction to alcohol, addiction to drugs, and more.
"Clients who experience this process can not only take care of their traumatic memories for the betterment of their personal lives and interpersonal relationships, they also then have a process they can use with any future traumatic event. "
People suffering from PTSD often ask themselves this:
What kind of counselor, therapist, hypnotherapist, psychologist, psychtherapist or other kind of change agent has the proper method to actually cure or fix my PTSD?
Let me tell you what I do . . .
The longer answer is offered in my PTSD Case Study. The shorter answer is below.
My approach is based on the answer to a simple, but important question:
Why do some people exposed to traumatic, stressful events NOT get PTSD, while others DO get PTSD?
The answer to this question is found in structures in the mind—structures which often go unnoticed. First of all, we need to revisit stressful memories. No matter how much pain, guilt, shame, fear or grief is connected with traumatic experiences, the memories of these experiences come back to people, as if to say: "There is more learning to do regarding these events. I'll keep coming back to haunt you until you learn the lessons they provide."
Those who almost always experience their stressful memories through their own eyes, that is, from the same point of view as the original experience, will reinforce the pain of the memory each time it comes back, whether as a conscious memory, a day-dream, or a nightmare. This is a problem. It creates a vicious cycle of pain, stress and symptoms.
In contrast, those who remember stressful events from an outside point of view can more easily analyze and heal such remembered events. The method I use in my Portland PTSD counseling process uses this technique deliberately within hypnotherapy session. That way, memories are revisited in a safe, emotionally distant way to re-live them to enable them to be healed. This systematic shift in perspective greatly reduces or eliminates the symptoms associated with the original traumatic memories. The main therapeutic techniques in my approach involve changes in scope in time and in space to bring about not only the healing of the memories, but also derives new lessons from the experiences of trauma. That way, the harmful aspects of traumatic experiences are used to guide a process of both learning from them and eliminating the harm they caused.
Clients who experience this process can not only take care of their traumatic memories for the betterment of their personal lives and interpersonal relationships, they also then have a process they can use with any future traumatic event. This is illustrated by a PTSD Case Study I wrote.
