Sexual Trauma

Hypnosis for Sexual Trauma

The impact of sexual trauma can reverberate through all aspects of your life, and healing from it can be a painful, but ultimately extremely rewarding, journey.

Healing Sexual Trauma with the Help of Hypnotherapy

The amount of people who have experienced sexual trauma in their life is absurd. Between 11 and 20% of girls under age 18 report being sexually abused. For boys, the numbers range from around 5-10%.

Experiencing sexual abuse or assault, whether as a child or adult, can have a debilitating effect on multiple areas of life. It can lead to:

Mistrust of yourself and others
Anxiety
Depression
Difficulties or fears around sexuality and intimacy
Struggles around creating and maintaining stable romantic relationships

There are often feelings of guilt, shame, and anger that accompanies these experiences, with it often being turned inwards, with you feeling bad about yourself for something that happened to you.

I find that many of my clients who come to me with completely different presenting issues still end up uncovering sexual trauma as a key part of whatever issue has currently presented in their lives.

I have also seen an anecdotal correlation between a devout religious upbringing and sexual abuse – the headlines attest to this as well, but essentially sexual repression simply leads to abusive behavior that often gets hidden, ignored, or suppressed.

There is Hope

I have have found hypnosis to be a very healing experience for many individuals who are looking to heal from sexual trauma.

Hypnosis Assisted Healing is a form of regression hypnosis where you travel back to your traumatic experiences in a safe and controlled way, in order to release any emotions you still store around them, reframe them from a new perspective, and heal from them on a deeper, experiential level.

This approach is not for everyone – you might feel like you’re not ready, or that it’s not the right approach for your healing journey, and that’s ok. Trust your intuition.

If you do feel called to this type of healing approach, I invite you to reach out. I have seen clients see significant relief and growth in an extremely short period of time. Hypnosis Assisted Healing allows you to heal in a very different way than conventional therapy, and clients regularly say they are surprised at what comes up for them during their sessions.
