Trauma Hypnotherapy Brisbane
Is trauma that deep-seated tremor in your soul that resurfaces in sudden flashbacks, tightens your chest with unspoken pain, and makes safety feel like a fragile illusion?
FAQs
1. What is trauma?
Trauma is the emotional, psychological, or physical response to deeply distressing or disturbing events that overwhelm a person’s ability to cope, leaving them feeling helpless, fearful, or disconnected.
2. What kinds of events can cause trauma?
Trauma can result from a wide range of experiences, including accidents, abuse, neglect, violence, natural disasters, loss of a loved one, medical emergencies, or ongoing toxic stress.
3. What are common symptoms of trauma?
Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, anxiety, depression, irritability, avoidance of reminders, difficulty trusting others, and feeling disconnected from yourself or the world.
4. Can trauma affect the body as well as the mind?
Yes. Trauma can live in the body, leading to chronic pain, muscle tension, fatigue, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, and an overactive fight-or-flight response even when there’s no immediate danger.
5. Can hypnotherapy help heal trauma?
Yes. Trauma-focused hypnotherapy can gently access and heal subconscious wounds, reprocess traumatic memories safely, release stored emotional pain, and help rebuild a sense of safety and trust within yourself.
6. What are the types of trauma?
Trauma can be categorized as acute (from a single event), chronic (from repeated or prolonged exposure to stress), or complex (involving multiple, layered traumatic experiences, often starting in early life).
7. Can trauma affect relationships?
Absolutely. Trauma can create fear of intimacy, difficulty trusting others, emotional distance, hypervigilance, and unhealthy attachment patterns if it’s left unresolved.
8. How is trauma usually treated?
Effective treatments include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and sometimes medication for symptom management.
9. Is it possible to fully heal from trauma?
Yes. Healing from trauma is very possible. While memories may remain, their emotional charge can be transformed, allowing you to live with greater freedom, joy, safety, and inner peace.
10. When should someone seek professional help for trauma?
Seek help if trauma symptoms interfere with daily life, cause emotional suffering, affect relationships or health, or if you feel stuck in fear, anger, sadness, or emotional numbness.

Trauma Hypnotherapy Study
Study
A meta-analysis on hypnotherapy for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) reviewed experimental trials of hypnosis-based treatments. Out of many papers searched, only 6 controlled experiments were eligible. The pooled effect size (for post-treatment) was large (d ≈ 1.17), and the 4-week follow-up effect size was also large (d ≈ 1.58). However, because of the small number of trials, their variability, and methodological limitations, the authors cautioned that findings are preliminary. Academia
A more recent umbrella review covering meta-analyses of hypnosis in mental and somatic health found that while hypnosis has positive effects in several domains (e.g. pain, procedural anxiety), evidence specific to trauma or PTSD is less strong and still emerging. Frontiers
Conclusion
Hypnotherapy for trauma, especially PTSD, shows promising results with large effect sizes in the few existing trials. But because the number of high-quality trials is small and heterogeneity is high, we can’t yet draw firm conclusions. More rigorous, larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm whether hypnotherapy should be recommended as a standard treatment for trauma.
