I think this is a really helpful metaphor for understanding what's truly happening when you release and let go of trauma, and what it is exactly that makes this do-able and possible.

Let me know in the comments what experiences you've had when it comes to releasing trauma via therapy or via other means.

Something I learned in my English literature degree that helps me hugely in my work as a therapist....
It's.... The Death of the Author!!!
No not about anyone actually dying, but about shifting from ideas of intention, and people always knowing exactly what they're doing, being fully aware of what they're doing and extremely honest about what they're doing...
To the murkier, shifting and at the same time more true world of motivation and the unconscious mind, unreliable narrators and heavy cultural underlying causations.…

If you grew up in a family like this, you will probably know what I mean!

Families or other groups that are operating in a narcissistic, controlling way are deeply intolerant of / towards someone within the group saying ‘no’. To the extent that generally there are strange impacts of understanding and on memory when someone says no to what is being demanded or enforced or strongly suggested (directly or in code) by the dominant power or powers in the group.

Have you read it?
I absolutely love this book, 'Full Catastrophe Living: how to cope with stress, pain and illness using mindfulness meditation' by Jon Kant-Zinn.
In it, there is a description of how the author was inspired by observing his patients who knew they were nearing the end of life and who reported extraordinary changes in their sensory experiences and their sense of the world and themselves.
It goes on to teach and discuss meditation /hypnosis practices in detail, and give a detailed account of how these practices have been taught to many people, as a means of approaching something like this same vivid, clarified state.

Renew Your Mind

Hypnotherapy is highly effective in helping you change how you use your own mind. It can help you to move away from anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia (or other sleep issues), work stress, fears, phobias, food or eating problems, addictions, relationship difficulties, challenges around job interviews or public speaking, and also outbursts or episodes of anger. It can also help with certain physical difficulties such as IBS, tinnitus, fibromalgia or the management of chronic pain. In addition to these things, hypnotherapy teaches you to become more confident and creative, more forward-looking and motivated and more of an effective decision maker. If you would like to find out more about how it works, or to book in for a session, please email me at orla.rebecca.kirby@gmail.com or give me a call on 07984128511.
