Healing Scripts: Using Hypnosis to Treat Trauma and Stress
By Marlene E. Hunter M D
Healing Scripts focuses on the use of hypnotherapy to help trauma victims
recover as well as helping individuals who are suffering from acute stress
disorders. The field of trauma and stress treatment is constantly searching for
new ideas and solutions. The uses of hypnotic interventions outlined in this
volume are designed to treat the source of the pain and the anguish of trauma
that will finally offer some relief to long-suffering clients.
Subjects covered include:
- Pain (in all its forms)
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with sections on denial,
hyper-vigilance and hyper-arousal
- Acute Stress
- Sleep Disorders
- Dissociation Disorders, including ego-strengthening and integration
The book also contains a separate section devoted to helping children
suffering from acute stress and trauma. In total this volume will provide the
hypnotherapist with practical suggestions for both the content and context of
hypnotic interventions. Furthermore, the rationale for using any one particular
script is fully explained through a detailed and illuminating commentary. All
practitioners will find the scripts more than just practical as these have been
used and found to be valid in real life situations and therefore can be used as
they are written or adapted for the client’s specific needs.
