Are you struggling with the effects of trauma? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can have a profound impact on your life — affecting your sleep, your relationships, your ability to work and your overall sense of wellbeing. At Freedom House Hypnotherapy in Victoria Park, Perth, Sam Hayes offers compassionate, professional clinical hypnotherapy for PTSD — a natural, drug-free approach that works at the subconscious level to help you process trauma and reclaim your life.
What Is PTSD?
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Common causes include accidents, assault, natural disasters, childhood trauma, military combat, and medical emergencies. However PTSD can develop after any event that feels overwhelmingly threatening or distressing.
Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks and intrusive memories, nightmares, severe anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, difficulty sleeping, irritability and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can persist for months or years after the original event.
How Does Hypnotherapy Help with PTSD?
PTSD is essentially a disruption in the way traumatic memories are stored and processed by the subconscious mind. Rather than being filed away as past events, traumatic memories can remain vivid and emotionally charged — causing the nervous system to react as if the trauma is happening right now.
Clinical hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind to help reprocess and reframe traumatic memories — reducing their emotional charge and helping the nervous system return to a calmer, safer baseline. Rather than requiring you to relive the trauma in detail, hypnotherapy uses gentle, indirect techniques to create change at a deep level.
Hypnotherapy for PTSD is often used alongside other forms of therapy and treatment. Sam is happy to work collaboratively with your GP, psychologist or other healthcare providers as part of a broader treatment plan.
What to Expect in a Session
Sam takes a careful, compassionate and highly individualised approach to working with trauma. Your first session will focus on understanding your experience, building rapport and establishing a sense of safety before any therapeutic work begins.
You’ll be guided into a deeply relaxed trance state — a natural, comfortable state of focused awareness. In this safe and supportive environment, Sam uses gentle hypnotherapeutic techniques to help your subconscious mind begin to process and integrate traumatic experiences in a healthier way.
Sessions are conducted at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you at all times.
Important Note
Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological treatment for PTSD. If you are experiencing severe symptoms, please consult your GP or a mental health professional in the first instance. Sam is happy to work alongside your existing treatment team.
