Post traumatic stress disorder
Integrated Hypnotherapy, NLP and Life Coaching: Online and in Rickmansworth
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex condition that can profoundly impact individuals who have experienced trauma. At Best Of Me NLP, we approach PTSD with compassion and understanding, recognising the diverse ways it can manifest and the unique journey each person undertakes toward recovery.
Causes of PTSD: Unraveling the Impact of Trauma
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) typically stems from exposure to traumatic events that pose a threat to one's safety or well-being. These events may include but are not limited to, physical assault, sexual violence, natural disasters, accidents, or combat experiences. The lasting impact of trauma can disrupt the normal processing of memories, emotions, and cognitive responses, contributing to the development of PTSD.
How does PTSD change a person?
PTSD manifests through a spectrum of symptoms that can be categorised into four main clusters:
​
Intrusive Memories: Flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing memories that replay the traumatic event.
Avoidance: Efforts to avoid reminders of the trauma, including places, people, or activities.
Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: Persistent negative emotions, feelings of detachment, distorted beliefs about oneself or others, and an inability to experience positive emotions.
Changes in Arousal and Reactivity: Hypervigilance, irritability, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and exaggerated startle response.
Our Holistic Support Through Therapeutic Modalities: Hypnotherapy, NLP, Timeline and Life Coaching
At Best Of Me NLP, we adopt a holistic approach to support individuals dealing with PTSD. Our therapeutic modalities, including Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Timeline Therapy, and Life Coaching are tailored to address the unique challenges posed by PTSD:
​
Hypnotherapy: Inducing a state of focused attention, hypnotherapy can help individuals process and reframe traumatic memories, alleviating the impact of intrusive thoughts and flashbacks.
NLP: By exploring the connection between thoughts, language, and behavior, NLP techniques can reshape negative thought patterns, offering tools for managing emotions and responses associated with PTSD.
Timeline Therapy: Addressing unresolved emotions from the past, Timeline Therapy aids in emotional release, disrupting the cycle of negative emotions linked to traumatic experiences.
Life Coaching: Providing guidance and support, life coaching helps individuals set and achieve goals, fostering a sense of purpose and direction in the aftermath of trauma.
