Classic talk therapy often hits a wall with trauma. During trauma, the speech center (Broca’s area) is often shut down, while the alarm center (Amygdala) is highly active. Trauma cannot simply be 'talked away' because it is rooted deeper: in the limbic system and the brainstem. Pure talk therapy often carries the risk of retraumatization.
 

This is why modern trauma therapies (like PITT, IRRT, or Ego State) use hypnotherapeutic techniques such as resource building, age regression, and dissociation.
 

The process is structured in three distinct phases:
 

1. Stabilization & Safety Before we address the trauma itself, we establish resources. We use hypnosis to calm the body's response and improve self-regulation. The aim is for you to be able to calm your own nervous system whenever needed.
 

2. Gentle Processing We employ dissociative techniques (such as the 'Cinema Screen Technique'). You observe the event from a safe distance, like an old black-and-white film. This allows the brain to reprocess the event and store it in long-term memory without emotional flooding. It prevents retraumatization, and you stay in control at all times. Bit by bit, the traumatic memory is modified.
 

3. Integration & Re-evaluation When the emotional charge has been cleared, we integrate the experience. The event becomes just a part of your biography—something that happened, but is now in the past.
