Help for PTSD in Beccles, Bungay and Norwich.

PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, consists of a series of symptoms that arise from a traumatic event which occurred  earlier in life..

The symptoms of PTSD usually consist of:

1. 1. Intrusive flashbacks (reliving a violent scene in your mind)
   2. Nightmares or recurrent bad dreams
   3. Anxiety disorders resulting in chronic physical pain, body tensions, teeth grinding
   4. Over reacting to situations with seemingly little control
   5. Sudden outbursts of rage or temper tantrums
   6. Unexplained fears or phobias
   7. Sleep disorders
   8. Inability to relax the mind and the body
   9. Persistent stress, tension, fears
   10. Inability to concentrate, loss of memory

A reminder of the event can trigger a reaction. For instance someone who has experienced an explosion in the past may go into panic if they hear a car backfire.

When a person comes to  hypnotherapy with me for PTSD, they are not made to relive the initial traumatising event. The technique I use to deal with the trauma is a very gentle and relaxing experience. Often a single session is all that is needed.
