Post-Traumatic Stress- Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental health condition that can develop after something traumatic happens in your life, it can include anxiety, anxiety attacks, certain reactions, flashbacks, it can also cause negative thought patterns, it can develop negative beliefs and it can change your way of life. People who have experienced a traumatic event may continue to feel sad, scared, anxious or angry time after the event, this can cause problems sleeping, eating, concentrating or living in the present moment. PTSD can happen in any moment of our lives, it is important to know when you have these symptoms so you can work on them and help yourself overcome them, or of course to seek medical attention. When adults have PTSD from childhood it can go unnoticed until as adults we start to notice our own actions and we start recognizing patters, like being anxious in certain situations, having difficulty with relationships, emotional dysregulation, like emotional numbness, avoiding places, people, conversations that remind you of that trauma. Relationships can trigger this in many ways, when we get into relationships we tend to find out that there are a lot of people emotionally underdeveloped. In this case people can also get PTSD from toxic relationships that they were in longer than they had to be. If not healed this toxicity can be transferred over to your next relationship and so on, this is why it is important to give your self time to heal so you can understand what is yours and what was not yours. This is where the saying "hurt people hurt people" comes from and its true. This is why it is important to try to work on these patterns, on these fears, or the anxiety attacks that "come up". Learning skills to better handle negative thoughts and feelings can help reconnect to your authentic self, reconnect with people you care about and being able to clearly set goals that you can handle. It is very common for people to say "oh its not bad enough" or "it will resolve on its own" or "it's just not the right time" this is simply avoiding that trauma (also a sign of PTSD) , giving your self barriers that stop you from seeking help. Seeking help now can help ease and eventually stop the symptoms from getting worse, and will lead you to a better quality of life. I have used Hypnosis to help me with my PTSD to be able to make sense of the events and reframe them to get rid of that anxiety, it has been extremely helpful. I used time-line therapy where I went back to that event and saw it again before it happened, helping me detach from it, helping my world change drastically. Hypnosis helps with the anxiety as well, the shift that your brain notices when you have worked on this PTSD, will cause your brain to notice the different thoughts while triggering a warning it will try to control you back to the "old you"  because it has been doing the same habits for so long. If worked on  this correctly you will be strong enough to shift that focus and not let that fear control you, instead you will be in control before it takes control.  When hypnosis works with the subconscious mind it builds new positive patterns that enhance neuroplasticity replacing negative patterns with positive ones

How do I become truthful to myself?

          Wait, who asked that? We all have a voice in our heads that talks to us everyday, I have one too. We can't really get over it, but we can control it I'm sure of it. We also have our gut that some say it's like our 3rd brain it helps us determine if something is right or wrong, when we say "this feels right" or " this just doesn't feel right" we are talking directly to our gut. When we say things like " I think I should" is when you’re using your brain and when we say "I believe" we are focusing our attention to our heart. Try to do it, and focus your attention on each. You'll see what I mean. In our mind we will always have several parts that talk to us daily whether we are about to make a choice on what we want to eat or what book to read next or if your morning presentation is well done. We tend to be unhappy when we choose something and it doesn't go our way, we start to feel guilt and shame and our brains ego...

Do you have a Mother wound?

                    Mother and Father wounds are very real, they change your perspective on a lot of things in life. But first you have to accept that you have a mother wound, this will allow you to open up for healing. First of all what is a mother wound? A mother wound, is a deep emotional trauma that often happens when we are young and learning about life, this impacts our adult relationships it, even impacts how we handle decision making. When we do not have the emotional or physical support or we received some form of neglectful parenting from our mothers it plants a seed in our subconscious mind leading to self doubt, the feeling of worthlessness, lack of trust in others, and how safe we feel around others.  As a child you constantly needed some type of approval by seeking validation or by finding ways to attach to her. If you didn't receive that and your emotional needs were not met this created that mother wound. A...

Is Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy the same thing?

 They are related but they are not the same, Hypnosis is the state of heightened relaxation being the bridge to the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique, verbal communication, exploring the mind of the patient, building rapport and having the ability to know how to navigate the client into clarity on what, how and where certain limiting beliefs come from. It is a formal relationship between a professional and the client. Building rapport with clients is essential, it builds trust increasing the emotional connection, ideas and understandings.  - Jessica Gutierrez M.
