In this episode, I discuss trauma processing and the benefits of hypnotherapy. Trauma, particularly from childhood, can remain unresolved and continue to affect us. Through therapy, we aim to process these experiences so they no longer interfere with our lives. Hypnotherapy, which I trained in 15 years ago, is an effective tool for addressing deep-seated issues. It helps shift our consciousness to access and resolve problems in the subconscious. Unlike traditional counselling, hypnotherapy allows us to tackle the root cause of our issues.

This episode includes a guided hypnotherapy session.

In this episode I guide you through a comprehensive exploration of anger, its true essence, and how we can develop a healthier relationship with it. Anger, at its core, is our willpower and lifeforce. When expressed in alignment with love and integrity, anger manifests as assertiveness and boundary-setting. However, when influenced by fear and unresolved trauma, anger can turn into destructive aggression or harmful suppression, leading to passive-aggressive behaviours, depression, and anxiety. I encourage you to recognise and understand your anger, bringing a loving curiosity to this powerful emotion. By doing so, we can heal the fear-based split and transform our relationship with anger, allowing it to become a positive and assertive force in our lives.

Uncovering Hidden Childhood Trauma: Signs, Symptoms, and Steps to Healing

In this episode I discuss hidden childhood trauma, its symptoms, and why understanding it is crucial for our healing journey. Unresolved childhood trauma can manifest in various ways, such as emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and even physical health issues. Recognising these signs allows us to approach them with compassion rather than self-judgment, which is a significant step towards healing. By addressing these deep-rooted issues, we can begin to transform our pain and foster self-acceptance. The episode also includes a guided hypnosis.

Welcome to another instalment of my series on childhood trauma and our reactions to it. So far I’ve been talking about trauma, the causes of dysfunctional families and the four F's – the four different ways we can react to trauma which include fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fawn is another word for pleasing and in this episode I’m going to focus on the pleaser reaction to trauma and what pleaser behaviour looks like. Similar to my other episodes, I end with a guided hypnotherapy session, helping those pleasers watching the video to process their trauma and start moving forward towards a healthier, more balanced self.

In this episode, I discuss the topic of growing up in a dysfunctional family and explore the various forms this can take, impacting both childhood and adult life. Some of the more severe include addiction, abuse, neglect, mental disorders, and abandonment. These dysfunctions can significantly affect a child's development. As a psychologist, I aim to deepen the understanding of family dysfunction and its impact on individuals. In the latter part of the video, I focus on healing and recovery. I lead a guided hypnosis session designed to mitigate the effects of familial dysfunction. This involves visualising a staircase leading to deeper relaxation and creating a nurturing environment for one's inner child. The goal is to provide the care, love, and support that may have been missing, thereby helping to heal past wounds.

In this episode I focus on how our various responses to childhood trauma—be it fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—can clue us into the deeper roots of our emotional and psychological challenges. My discussion revolves around the idea that understanding these trauma responses is critical not just for symptom management but for addressing the fundamental causes of our distress. By exploring the origins of these reactions, we aim to unlock stuck energies and emotions, facilitating a deeper healing process.

Lastly, I take you through a guided hypnotherapy session (which can also be referred to as childhood rescue or trauma release) aimed at reconnecting with and soothing the traumatised parts of ourselves, fostering a nurturing internal environment where healing can flourish. This work is about more than just understanding—it's about actively engaging in the process of healing, with the hope of achieving a greater sense of peace and emotional freedom.

Exploring the often overlooked trauma of emotional neglect in childhood, this episode delves into how unresolved stress from lack of emotional processing can manifest as trauma.

While physical or abusive traumas are more apparent, emotional neglect—the silent trauma—emerges as a pervasive issue affecting many. It’s about the stress and fear a child feels from abandonment, neglect, or lack of attunement, which can deeply impact their sense of security and self-worth.

This discussion uncovers the complex nature of emotional neglect, its impact on children's development, and the importance of recognising and addressing this hidden trauma for healing and growth. Join me in understanding and healing from the trauma of emotional neglect.
