P.T.S.D. and Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy Info graphic outlining post traumatic stress disorder signs, symptoms and causes
 ​Around five years ago, my life started to fall together beautifully. I had free time to enjoy myself, lived in a nice place, had the career I’d worked so hard to achieve, everyone I loved was safe and healthy and I had fallen in love with the person to whom I would eventually marry. This was a complete 180° turn from where my life had been just a few short years before. So, as everything calmed, myself and my G.P. could not figure out why I had developed these bed-drenching, wake-up-to-wring-out-your-pajamas, finger-pruning, night sweats.
 
My Dr. ran every test he could think of. I was too young for menopause, my thyroid was working fine, no allergies… all my numbers were good. We were stumped and his only suggestion was to look at my mental state. Was I anxious? Depressed?
 
Heeding my Doctor’s advice, I set myself up with a counselor who then referred me to a psychologist. Everything was so good in my life, I really had nothing to stress over. The night sweats continued and I grew more frustrated (and thoroughly grossed out!) Enter the Counselling Hypnotherapist.
 
I started seeing a hypnotherapist and after some explanation of what PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) actually looked like and a few weeks of sessions, the night sweats stopped. I went back once or twice over the next few months, then eventually never again.*
 
Things I did not know about hypnotherapy until my first visits with Bev at On Track Hypnotherapy:

  1. Post traumatic stress affects many people and it is not uncommon to experience no symptoms until everything has calmed or passed.
 
  1. PTSD does not mean you need to have gone through war or a natural disaster, it has many causes; injury or illness, divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, loved ones being injured or ill, seeing an accident, being in an accident or near miss, failing to achieve a goal, and the list goes on.
 
  1. PTSD can manifest itself in a myriad of ways – mine was by sweating profusely during sleep.
 
  1. Your mind and body are so connected that your mental state can cause a change in your physical state, sometimes a very drastic one.
 
 The good news is, by working with your subconscious and conscious mind to sort out the issue, remove negative or limiting beliefs and make positive new suggestions, your mind and body can be healed!

*I have been back to the hypnotherapist since, but for more fun things like hypnobirthing, which, by the way, I highly, HIGHLY recommend.

The Rosy Re-Frame

Picture
When I look out the window and see the fall colours beginning to emerge, or catch a glimpse of the V shape of a flock of Canadian Geese headed back south, I get to decide what I let my thoughts wander to.  Is it the beauty of the crimsons and golds? The majesty of the Canadian Goose and how fortunate I am to catch a glimpse of the migration? OR is it that any day now I'll be sweeping the snow off of my car and freezing my nu-nu's off, complaining of the cold and dark and ALWAYS exaggerating how long and miserable winter is?  
When the idea of our little production company was conceived about 3 years ago, the name Rosy Window was arrived at very purposefully - we all know that it is not healthy to look at the world through rose coloured glasses (that may be a bit naïve) but we can choose to see a rosier world if we look through the right frame. 
We are all creatures of habits, this is true of all of our thought processes, so when something happens or when we are going through the day to day, the habit of positive thought or negative thought is very powerful, changing this instantaneous thought process is not as hard as it may appear.  Practicing the art of re-framing is a great way to start, aware at first, purposely re-writing those thoughts, until it's no longer a conscious effort at all, it is simply noticing the "glass half full" first as the habitual thought response is positive. 
We are beginning our 12 week "Re-Frame Campaign" we would love to hear from you.  Can you think of an example of a perfect re-frame?  Is there something that you need help re-framing?  Send us a picture of your favourite window we would love to include it in our campaign.
