Complex PTSD & Trauma
Gentle, root-cause healing for old wounds, so the past can finally stay in the past and your body can learn it’s safe now.
Trauma isn’t what happened, it’s what your mind decided it meant
Hypervigilance, people-pleasing, emotional flashbacks, numbness, anger that arrives out of nowhere: these are intelligent adaptations your younger self made to survive. The problem is that the alarm system never got the memo that you made it out.
RTT offers a structured, compassionate way to revisit the root scenes from a place of safety, give that younger you what they needed, and update the meaning your subconscious attached to those events. The somatic component helps your body release what it’s been holding, too.
A note on safety and pacing
Trauma work is never rushed and never forced. We move at the pace your nervous system can comfortably handle, and you remain aware and in control throughout every session. Hypnotherapy complements, but does not replace, care from your doctor or a licensed trauma therapist.
You survived it. Now it’s time to heal it.
A free, gentle conversation is the first step. You don’t have to share your story until you’re ready.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to do trauma work in hypnosis?
Yes, when paced properly. You review memories from an observing distance rather than reliving them, and we build resources for safety and grounding before going anywhere near the hard material.
I don’t remember much of my childhood. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The subconscious keeps what matters. In deep relaxation, the scenes that are relevant tend to surface naturally, and we only ever work with what comes up willingly.
What’s the difference between this and talk therapy?
Talk therapy primarily works with the conscious mind, building understanding over time. RTT works directly with the subconscious, where trauma responses are stored, which is why change can happen much faster. Many clients do both, and they complement each other well.
