Hypnotherapy with Charlene
Hypnotherapy is one of the most effective ways to heal from emotional trauma and the challenging events experienced in life that have affected us adversely. This trauma is stored in our subconscious mind where it, metaphorically speaking, etches a groove which plays on a continuous loop, and affects how we perceive the world around us and how we respond to life. Often this subconscious programming happens from difficult events/relationships in our childhood, but it can occur in our adult years as well. Hypnotherapy takes one deep into this subconscious groove, this programming, where a skilled therapist can create a loving, supportive environment in order for this trauma to be seen, understood in terms of how it’s been affecting us, released, and healed. Very often, depending on the level of trauma, it can take just one session per traumatic event to heal something that has been plaguing a person for many years.
I use a combination of open ended language, body relaxation, and creative visualization to take a person into the state of hypnosis effortlessly and seamlessly. I draw on a person’s spiritual beliefs (to whatever extent this is pertinent to them) as support during the process of healing. I also employ dialoguing with one’s inner child to forge a connection between the inner child, who often gets stuck in the trauma, and the adult self, who is able to comfort and acknowledge the inner child’s feelings, and build a lasting bond of trust with their inner child. The adult self, the person’s current state of maturity, is in charge of this dialogue. Most of my clients find the experience of hypnosis deeply relaxing, and come out of it feeling refreshed and lighter due to the healing and self understanding that it brings.
