trauma release/ self hypnosis

[mariah]

Is there a certain script about trauma-release that you can use for self-hypnosis?

Hi Mariah,

This forum is not intended to teach individuals to deal with trauma on their own. When working with any serious issues including trauma you should seek the advice of a professional.

Best regards,

Is it really that serious though? I mean, I know for some it is, but it differs from the incidents, I believe. Considering you're IN the trauma day in and out, how much worse could it get?

[Don]

Yes, it is that serious.

But let me put it another way to you.

There are many types of trauma. Even if two people have what is outwardly the same type of trauma, they may need different approaches and suggestions.

Every person is an individual and, in my opinion, diserves better than some stock script that might work for one person and fail for 40 others.

I concur with Matt. In dealing with trauma seek professional help with a person who can tailor treatment to one's exact needs.

Hi Mariah,

You used the word trauma and that has specific definitions associated with it that do make it serious. In some states in the U.S. it is illegal to work with someone who is experiencing a trauma unless you are a licensed health care professional.

My point is that an online forum is not an appropriate place to explore a trauma and find out if it could get better or worse. Some traumas could get better and some individuals could experience a shift for the worse with a trauma. In any trauma, a professional would do a more thorough personal history to discover as much as they can about the problem and the individual. Questions like is this trauma a phobia, is it PTSD, is it a highly associated negative emotion, etc. would need to be discovered before developing an approach.

Additionally, since you have stated the individual is “IN the trauma day in and day out,” the example you have provided could be more complex than a simple self-hypnosis script. Trauma can mean many things and asking for a script for trauma would be like going to a medical doctor and saying I have major pain everyday, could you give me a pill to get rid of it. The doctor would probably want to find out a bit more about the pain before providing a treatment.

If you would like to explain what is going on, I might be willing to give you more guidance, and ultimately if it is serious you should seek the advice of a professional.

Best regards,
Matt

>Is it really that serious though?

It can be.

>I mean, I know for some it is, but it differs from the incidents, I believe.

Possibly true. But how would one know?

>Considering you're IN the trauma day in and out, how much worse could it get?

It can get more worse than you can probably imagine. Not saying it would, just that it *could*

I get your point, and it makes sence. BUT, I don't see how it can be any safer at all letting someone do it FOR you or with you, unless you really don't know what you're dealing with/going through, which is not the case here. And what if the person know exactly what she/he desires? What's the point bringing a "professional" in, that may question it and satisfie you with different answers. Like you say, hypnosis is all about "remembering and learning", if you learn to deal with your past differently, ask yourself to 'let go' off certain emotions because they are not PRESENT-emotions, how can this hurt you?

Anyway, I appreciate all of your help a lot, and I totally understand that you cannot give me any specific scripth for it as trauma in a whole, is a serious case. Which is why I believe it's not always a good idea to let someone else that you do not know, handle it.

"It's not always a good idea to let someone else do it for you".......Quite right Mariah, so why bother to pay a teacher to teach you, a lawyer to represent you in court, or a doctor to help and guide you in health matters? I think you should listen to nobody else, and don't even bother with books, just experiment yourself until you are successful without anyone else bothering you......After all, nobody knows you like you know yourself do they?

Mariah, it would seem that you haven't learned to deal with your past, well not yet anyway, so wouldn't it seem reasonable to have the courage to give someone trained in doing just that the opportunity to give you that guidance.
You have mentioned a couple of times in this thread that you believe ..... and it would seem that those beliefs are holding you back from moving forward. From time to time we all benifit from changing some of our beliefs.

Hello Mariah,

If a client comes to me with a ready made answer to their own problem then I would try to ensure that the answer they have is the right one.

Usually, it is not. And that is one reason to engage a therapist.

How is any of this the same? Do you have a point at all? Other than trying to 'play' on what I just said?

That's the point, I can't "deal" with it consqiously, because it still exists in my subconsqious. Professionals are expensive, and for someone that doesn't trust people it is quite a challenge to just open up to anyone like that and give them the real 'truth'. What exactly do I believe though? Sorry for not keeping up..:cool:

How do you know it's not? Do they admit it to you, ever? If so, thumbs up!

Well, could you possibly give me some advice, and I'll leave the rest here alone!? I don't want to get myself into something if it could indeed get to the worse..

[Jack]

Hello Mariah,

I know it's not because they still have the problem.

They may not 'admit' it, whatever that means, but as a therapist I am paid to find out everything about the problem. Since I am a good therapist I usually do find out.

Soo wait, if someone's past is 100% "cleared up", and they know 100% what the problem is.. the problem will disappear? Completely?

[TaffyE]

Trauma always leaves negative emotion(s), which results in the ongoing emotional pain.

So try this.

Pretend that you have cleared the negative emotion(s) from the trauma.
Create a picture in your mind (like in a photo, or video) where you see the you having cleared it away now, how do you look. What is your posture like, how different do you look, know that you feel the negative emotion(s) gone.
Do this several times a day, and over several days.

Hi Mariah,

Yes, my advice is to find a professional in your area so that you may explore means of dealing with the trauma.

Creative a new reality sort of, as it would have been like without the trauma-feeling? Funny, I've already made a script similiar to that..

[TaffyE]

Mariah, with respect - forget the script, well for now anyway, this is an exercise to actually do, not simply listen passively to a script

[mariah]

OK, so I'll leave the trauma for now. But, I will still make suggestions to pull myself in the right decision. Could I possibly EXPLAIN something to my subconsqious mind? Does that work as a type of suggestion, do you think? Say I want to express that.. the world can't judge me unless I allow it. All these freedom-matters. Should I or should I not suggest with a word such as "can't", in this situation? This is about affirmations, anyway.
