Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program

We offer you a 12 Week Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program that will help you to re-frame the trauma in your life and rebuild up your Confidence & Self-Esteem in your life. We will focus on your lifestyle, exercise, sleep, self-esteem and new healthy subconscious mental patterns.

As its name implies is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that addresses the specific emotional and mental health needs of children, adolescents, adult survivors, and families who are struggling to overcome the destructive effects of trauma.

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is especially sensitive to the unique problems of youth with post-traumatic stress and mood disorders resulting from abuse, violence, or grief. Because the client is usually a child, TF-CBT often brings non-offending parents or other caregivers into treatment and incorporates principles of family therapy.

TF-CBT is an intervention that generally lasts anywhere from 12 to 25 sessions and can take place as an outpatient in-home setting.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to help modify distorted or unhelpful thinking and negative reactions and behaviours. At the same time, a family therapy approach looks at interactions among family members and other family dynamics that are contributing to the problem and aims to teach new ways, stress-management, and communication skills.

The trauma-focused approach to psychotherapy was first developed in the 1990’s by psychiatrist Judith Cohen and psychologists Esther Deblinger and Anthony Mannarino, whose original intent was to better serve everyone who had experienced sexual abuse.

TF-CBT has expanded over the years to include services to treat and address any form of severe trauma or abuse.

Early trauma can lead to guilt, anger, feelings of powerlessness, self-abuse, acting out behaviour, and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.

Post-traumatic stress disorder, which affects children and adults, can manifest in a number of ways, such as bothersome recurring thoughts about the traumatic experience, emotional numbness, sleep issues, concentration problems, and extreme physical and emotional responses to anything that triggers a memory of the trauma.

TF-CBT can address and improve the symptoms of post-traumatic stress in your life that is link to trauma.

Finding Peace Through Hypnosis for Bipolar Disorder

A disorder associated with episodes of mood swings ranging from depressive lows to manic highs. The exact cause of bipolar disorder isn’t known, but a combination of genetics, environment and altered brain structure and chemistry may play a role.

Manic episodes may include symptoms such as high energy, reduced need for sleep and loss of touch with reality. Depressive episodes may include symptoms such as low energy, low motivation and loss of interest in daily activities. Mood episodes last days to months at a time and may also be associated with suicidal thoughts. Treatment is usually lifelong and often involves a combination of medications and psychotherapy.

Hypnotherapy and Tools for Bipolar Disorder

  • Learn the root cause of the negative thought or behavior came from
  • Find out how behavior modification techniques can alter a more productive outcome

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on our thoughts, feelings, and actions, all being connected.
  • If you change your thoughts, then you ultimately change the behavior that follows
  • Learn how to respond calmly and rationally

Are you struggling with managing bipolar disorder?

Does it sometimes feel like you’re completely at the mercy of unpredictable, dramatic mood and energy changes?

Firstly, bipolar disorder is a serious condition and it is important to have expert medical advice. If you have received a diagnosis and been prescribed medication, you should not make any change to your healthcare routine without consultation.

If you have not been diagnosed, but suspect you are bipolar, you should see a doctor, as similar symptoms can occur in other conditions.

Emotional hurricanes make managing bipolar disorder hard work

That said, we can all agree that life with bipolar disorder is a pretty major challenge. Everybody’s moods fluctuate but when you have ‘manic depression’ the highs and lows are so much higher and lower, with good moods where you feel like you rule the world and bad moods where you feel like the world has completely crushed you.

Typically, when those euphoric moods get going, you feel like you can do anything, like there cannot possibly be any bad consequences of what you do. You lose all sense of perspective and rational judgment, leading you to behave in ways which have disasterous results. People have even been known to give all their money away, and end up penniless and homeless or rack up massive credit card bills.

When the downward swing starts, it all heads off in the other direction. Everything is terrible and the whole world is against you and what’s the point of getting up in the morning, or indeed anything? Once again, you have lost your perspective.

Learning to read storm warnings

Although other people can see the signs of these moods coming on, and developing into full blown emotional hurricanes, it can seem as if there’s no way for you yourself to tell that it is happening and that it’s time to take preventive action.

But overwhelming and insurmountable though these patterns might feel, it is actually possible to get more control, to learn to spot the danger signals, and take action to avoid getting derailed – again.

As well as taking your doctor’s advice on practical ways you can better manage and look after your mental health, you can train your brain to alert you when certain warning signs appear, and to take appropriate steps to protect you. And there is a simple, powerful way to carry out this training.

Hypnosis will help you get more control of your moods

Managing Bipolar Disorder hypnosis session developed by psychologists. Using powerful hypnotic techniques, it will help you move from being the mere plaything of uncontrollable mood swings to being a real agent in your own life and master of your own well-being.

As you relax you will notice that you

  • are becoming more skilled at relaxing really deeply

  • enjoy having an increasing sense of healthy control of your life

Hypnotherapy for bipolar disorder takes a perceptual approach. This treatment works from the perspective and “reality” of the client rather than that of the professional. The goal with hypnosis for bipolar disorder is to reduce the client’s stress levels and help them to focus on the positive aspects.
