Remembering isn’t required to recover from trauma But if you were to listen to some hypnosis experts on social media you could easily be led to believe that the most effective way to help someone with trauma is to regression hypnotherapy. This is simply not correct. Using regression on someone who has experienced trauma is highly dangerous. and unless you are fully educated in regression work you could end up bring them back into a ‘scene’ that is traumatic. The result of this could be them reliving the event and feeling as if it’s happening all over again. How re-traumatising would that be? Here’s a fact you might not know, remembering isn’t required when you are doing trauma work. This is echoed by so many different trauma treatment experts who don’t ever ask a client to ‘go back to the time you experienced trauma’. Instead, experts such as Bessel Van Der Kolk’s who wrote the Body Keeps Score, Judith Herman’s seminal work Trauma Recovery, Pat Ogden’s Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, Babette Rothschild Eight Keys to Safe Trauma Recovery and Sue Johnsons Emotionally Focused Therapy all do what highly trained hypnotherapists do when it comes to trauma – they go into the emotion, they go into the body, they go into the process, but they don’t go into the past. Most trauma experts are what we call bottom up therapists – they start in the body where the memory of trauma resides – because our clients don’t have trauma feelings – they have trauma responses.
