Experiencing traumas can change the brain in profound ways, affecting the way a person perceives the world & reacts to triggering situations. The brain stores traumatic memories in a way that the person perceives the memory as being still in process. Through the use of Thought Pattern Management, Hypnotherapy, & Hypnotherapy, traumatic memories can be processed in a way that enables the brain to change the way it stores these memories, allowing the person to recognized that the event is in the past & that they are now safe. The person is then free to heal & grow, leaving the pain somewhere in the past.
Trauma is any time in your life where your emotions overwhelmed you past the point that you had the resources to cope with in the moment. Whether it was because you were alone without a trusting adult to guide you, too young to understand what was happening, or an event or person was terrifying.
