This book shares his extensive knowledge and successful techniques of using motivational counseling and hypnosis to assist clients in achieving Post Traumatic Strength. 25% of the U.S. Population has experienced some type of trauma, making them susceptible to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD occurs in greater numbers among our men and women serving in the military. Trance and Trauma -Hypnotherapy for Combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is an insightful guide for the treatment of PTSD. The book provides a roadmap for therapists using hypnosis to assist veterans and others who experience PTSD.----PRAISE-Trance and Trauma is an essential resource for any hypnotherapist working with PTSD. This concise manual expertly shares everything the practitioner needs to effectively and intelligently aid their client in recovery. Of particular use is the step by step guidance he provides for the hypnotic exposure therapy process. The author's unique transpersonal approach elevates this book above others by combining clinical expertise and heart-felt connection with those who suffer from the trauma of PTSD. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works in the therapeutic field.Desiree Holmes Scherini, CHt, Author of #1 bestselling, "Journey to Joy-The Written Path", "Top Hypnotherapist, Washington DC" In Trance and Trauma, Michael McGee presents a complete methodology that operates from the realm of wholeness rather than the common place of labels and diagnoses. His methods are varied. Michael unhesitatingly employs techniques from a variety of healing modalities. By combining hypnosis, the principles of gradual desensitization, archetypes and myth, with more traditional motivational tools, Dr. McGee's approach moves beyond both hypnosis and "talk therapies". His methods work in synergy; training both the conscious and subconscious mind of the sufferer concurrently. Applying his more diversified and integrative approach has greatly benefited my clients. Trance and Trauma has proven to be an effective and highly detailed guide for me; allowing me to work with clients suffering with issues of depression and substance abuse, as well as, childhood and military trauma.

This book was released on with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the often tumultuous world of international law enforcement, the pursuit of justice and the protection of society come at a profound personal cost. The men and women of INTERPOL, in their relentless pursuit of criminals across borders, frequently find themselves exposed to harrowing and traumatic incidents that leave indelible scars on their minds and souls. This book, "INTERPOL: Hypnosis for PTSD from Exposure to Traumatic Incidents," is an exploration into the intricate and challenging landscape of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within the realm of INTERPOL. It delves into the lives of these dedicated professionals, who, in the course of their duties, confront the darkest facets of humanity. Within these pages, we embark on a comprehensive journey, dissecting the multifaceted aspects of PTSD in INTERPOL agents. We unravel the psychological intricacies of trauma, examine its impact on mental health, and scrutinize its far-reaching consequences, both personally and professionally. We strive to illuminate the path to recovery, resilience, and redemption. Our exploration spans a wide spectrum of topics, from understanding the symptoms and diagnosis of PTSD to evaluating its prevalence within law enforcement agencies. We delve into the role of social support, coping mechanisms, and the often-overlooked issue of substance abuse. We also delve into specialized units, examining how agents dealing with human trafficking and cybercrime navigate the unique challenges of their roles. But this book goes further. It introduces a novel approach to PTSD treatment, one that has gained increasing recognition in recent years: hypnotherapy. Within these pages, you will find a thorough examination of the role of hypnotherapy in the treatment of PTSD and its potential as a complementary therapy. We discuss techniques, safety considerations, and clinical guidelines for its application in this context. Throughout this exploration, we underscore the importance of a trauma-informed approach, emphasizing the need for leadership buy-in, cultural sensitivity, and a supportive workplace culture that acknowledges and addresses the emotional toll of the job. As we journey through the narratives of INTERPOL agents who have faced and conquered their demons, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit and the potential for post-traumatic growth. Their stories serve as beacons of hope for those who tread a similar path. This book is a testament to the dedication and sacrifice of those who work tirelessly to maintain the safety and security of our world. It is a resource for INTERPOL agents, law enforcement professionals, mental health practitioners, and anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of PTSD and its treatment within this unique context. Ultimately, our hope is that this book will serve as a guiding light, illuminating a path toward healing, recovery, and empowerment for those who have dedicated their lives to preserving justice on a global scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one is immune to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which is the modern-day term for what has, at various times, been called 'shell shock', 'war neurosis' and 'combat fatigue' in wartime situations, and 'operational stress injury' in civilian terms. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a serious, potentially debilitating condition that can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a natural disaster; serious incident or accident; a sudden death; personal violence or another life-threatening situation. Military personnel and first responders are known to be particularly at risk from PTSD. Everybody has their breaking point, however strong they may have forced or trained themselves to be - physically or mentally. Ironically, it is often the people who have faced other distressing situations in their life, who are most at risk for developing PTSD. However there is a fast and effective way to get to the bottom of the causes of PTSD, with or without a diagnosis, and relieve or even eliminate the most troublesome symptoms, and that is clinical hypnotherapy. This 'alternative' therapy is the only clinically proven therapeutic tool endorsed by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the British Medical Council. Clinical hypnotherapy allows a person to delve into the recesses of their own subconscious mind to seek the root source of any issue, and allow the mind to confront symptoms and causes at a pace the subconscious can allow. Hypnosis is so effective as a therapy for PTSD, that it was being used extensively by psychiatrists and psychologists in the Great Wars, to treat the most chronic cases of war neuroses. They called it 'the original brief therapy' because in a relatively small number of sessions of hypnotherapy, the PTSD sufferer and his or her clinical hypnotherapist were able to identify the stressors, past and present, causing the debilitating emotional and/or physical symptoms, and stop them in their tracks, without the need for strong drugs or months and months of talk therapy. Ten percent of all American troops who deployed to Europe returned as 'psychiatric casualties'.That figure mirrors the Canadian statistic of how many of its troops were severely affected by their service in Afghanistan. Canada is now facing a PTSD epidemic. Montreal-based clinical hypnotherapist Pierre Benoit, RCCH, is a renowned international expert in the application of clinical hypnotherapy techniques to reduce or even eliminate PTSD symptoms. His groundbreaking 'PTSD protocol' has helped hundreds of people reclaim their lives from the scourges of PTSD. In this book he explains the techniques he uses to help PTSD sufferers and why clinical hypnotherapy is so effective as a solution to PTSD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traumatic Dissociation: Neurobiology and Treatment offers an advanced introduction to this symptom, process, and pattern of personality organization seen in several trauma-related disorders, including acute stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the dissociative disorders. Our understanding of traumatic dissociation has recently been advanced by neuroimaging technology, empirically-based investigation, and an acknowledgment of its importance in psychopathology. The authors of this volume tie these findings together, tracking the condition from its earliest historical conceptualization to its most recent neurobiological understanding to provide even greater insight into traumatic dissociation and its treatment. Bringing together for the first time theoretical, cognitive, and neurobiological perspectives on traumatic dissociation, this volume is designed to provide both empirical and therapeutic insights by drawing on the work of many of the main contributors to the field. Opening chapters examine historical, conceptual, and theoretical issues and how other fields, such as cognitive psychology, have been applied to the study of traumatic dissociation. The following section focuses specifically on how neurobiological investigations have deepened our understanding of dissociation and concluding chapters explore issues pertinent to the assessment and treatment of traumatic dissociation. The interacting effects of traumatic experience, developmental history, neurobiological function, and specific vulnerabilities to dissociative processes that underlie the occurrence of traumatic dissociation are among some of the key issues covered. The book's significant contributions include A review of cognitive experimental findings on attention and memory functioning in dissociative identity disorder An appreciation of how the literature on hypnosis provides a greater understanding of perceptual processing and traumatic stress Ascertaining symptoms of dissociation in a military setting and in other situations of extreme stress An outline of key issues for planning assessment of traumatic dissociation, including a critique of its primary empirically supported standardized measures An examination of the association between child abuse or neglect and the development of eating disorders, suggesting ways to therapeutically deal with negative body experience to reduce events that trigger dissociation A description of neuroendocrine alterations associated with stress, pointing toward a better understanding of the developmental effects of deprivation and trauma on PTSD and dissociation A review of the relation of attachment and dissociation A discussion of new research findings in the neuroimaging of dissociation and a link between cerebellar functioning and specific peritraumatic experiences Useful as a clinical reference or as ancillary textbook, Traumatic Dissociation reorganizes phenomenological observations that have been overlooked, misunderstood, or neglected in traditional training. The research and clinical experience described here will provide the basis for further clinical and theoretical formulations of traumatic dissociation and will advance empirical examination and treatment of the phenomenon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a debilitating human condition and a common cause of suffering worldwide. This elicits a sense of urgency for mental health professionals to meet this challenge of the treatment of depression. Hypnosis plays a vital role in that treatment and in the efficacy of psychotherapy. This book focuses on the structuring and delivering of hypnotic interventions for major depression, with a substantial use of concepts and techniques from cognitive-behavioral and strategic approaches as a foundation. Current research on depression is used in this book to emphasize the still-growing knowledge of depression. Hypnosis has shown itself to be effective in not only reducing symptoms, but in teaching the skills (such as rationale thinking, effective problem-solving and coping strategies, and positive relationship skills) that can even prevent recurrences. Mental health professionals will find the detailed examples of hypnotic strategies invaluable to their own practice and application of hypnosis in the treatment of depression.

This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypnosis has not been fully appreciated in the treatment of trauma, largely due to it being implicated in the creation of false memories, which have previously led to false allegations of child abuse. This has led to a lot of misunderstandings about hypnosis. There is now a strong argument that the educated and professional use of hypnosis may be beneficial to the field of trauma, particularly in facilitating the resolution of trauma and processing of traumatic memories. This book re-introduces the importance of hypnosis in the field of trauma, with particular reference to survivors of child abuse. It covers theories of traumatic stress, theories of hypnosis and theories related to the long term effects of child abuse. As well as providing recent research in these areas, it offers practical therapy guidelines and case illustrations to assist qualified practitioners in treating their clients. The treatment described is predominately cognitive-behavioural, and uses hypnosis as an effective and powerful adjunct to this approach.

Scientific hypnosis has made great advances particularly since World War II, both as part of basic psychological science concerned with the understanding of brain, mind, and personality and as a professional skill in which knowledge of hypnosis is used to serve human welfare by enhancing the quality of life for those who have the good fortune to benefit from hypnotherapy and the related practice of hypnoanalysis. The reader is brought abreast of these developments through the arrangement of the chapters into two sections of the book, with the first four chapters explaining the basics of hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness interpreted theoretically from several points of view.
