Memory reconsolidation is the only proven brain mechanism that erases trauma responses from traumatic memories.
It is the brain’s natural, neural process that can produce transformational, liberating change.
Hypnotherapy uses this recovery mechanism, repeatedly shown by neuroscientists to bring genuine, lasting relief from emotional and physical effects of trauma, whether that be from a single event, or accumulated over time.

With hypnosis we can shift and update emotional states encoded within memory, calming down emotions attached to past times, so your brain consolidates - rewrites and re-saves - those memories with much healthier emotional content.
It can then create better predictions and lived experiences both now and in the future, based on a much improved, updated set of instructions. -
Our memories are not a static snapshot in time, but a multi-layered, multi-sensory experience.
Each and every time you recall a memory your brain absorbs all the emotional cues from this present moment, and re-writes and saves or ‘consolidates’ the memory with the new emotional information encoded within.
We only have access to the last saved version.
This is why trauma can become either further embedded or fully lifted, depending on emotional state when recalled. -
Your brain predicts and creates how you feel today based on emotional information encoded within past memories. It uses these as the blueprint for your experience of life.
-
You can fundamentally change how you feel now and in the future because the information within the blueprint has been updated.
Hypnosis is a natural pathway for doing this, since it’s the mind’s natural learning state, so updating your instincts can happen with relative ease.
