Unlocking The Power Of Your Subconscious To Heal Trauma
Healing from trauma can be a challenging journey, but understanding and working with the subconscious mind can make a significant difference. Our subconscious mind holds the key to many of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, often storing memories and experiences that shape how we feel and react. By tapping into the power of the subconscious, we can experience healing and transformation.
What is the Subconscious Mind?
The subconscious mind is like a huge storage room where all of our past experiences, memories, and emotions are kept. Unlike the conscious mind, which is responsible for our immediate thoughts and actions, the subconscious operates behind the scenes, influencing our feelings, habits, and reactions without us even realising it.
How Trauma Affects the Subconscious
When we experience trauma, especially during childhood, our subconscious mind can hold onto those painful memories and emotions. This can lead to patterns of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation as the subconscious continues to react to past trauma. Healing these deep-seated wounds requires addressing them at the subconscious level.
Techniques I Use to Support You To Access Your Subconscious
Embodied Processing Embodied Processing is a somatic therapy technique that helps clients access and process traumatic memories stored in the body. By focusing on bodily sensations and emotions, this method facilitates deep healing and integration. It works with the subconscious by bringing awareness to the physical manifestations of trauma, allowing for a more holistic healing process.
Brainspotting Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic tool that identifies and processes trauma through eye positions linked to specific emotional experiences. By locating and focusing on these "brainspots," we can access the subconscious mind and release stored trauma, leading to profound emotional relief and clarity.
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is designed to improve social engagement and reduce stress by stimulating the vagus nerve. This protocol helps create a sense of safety and connection, essential for trauma recovery. By working at the subconscious level, SSP promotes relaxation and emotional stability, making it easier to process and integrate traumatic experiences.
Inner Child Healing Inner Child Healing involves connecting with and nurturing the wounded parts of your younger self. By addressing these deep-seated emotions, we can heal subconscious patterns that stem from childhood trauma. This process helps integrate and harmonise different parts of the self, promoting overall emotional well-being.
Working with the subconscious mind is a powerful way to heal from trauma. Through techniques like Embodied Processing, Brainspotting, SSP, and Inner Child Healing, we can promote healing and achieve greater emotional well-being.
