PTSD is also known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Most people automatically think of combat veterans when hearing this acronym. It’s actually an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened. Living through or seeing traumatic events may trigger PTSD. The “fight or flight” response to danger is a healthy and natural reaction that is supposed to protect a person from harm; in fact it’s natural to feel afraid. But in PTSD, this response is changed or damaged, someone who has PTSD may feel frightened or stressed even when no longer in danger. Anyone at any age can develop PTSD, although mostly common among adults. Women are four times as likely to develop PTSD over men; experts believe this is due to an increased risk of experiencing interpersonal violence.

Most people have heard about the use of hypnosis for making changes like losing weight, stopping smoking and relieving stress. However, many are surprised to learn that nearly everyone goes in and out of hypnotic states every day of their lives. Some examples of this are “road hypnosis” (when you find yourself at your destination without remembering exactly how you drove there), or even listening to favorite pieces of music, television shows or reading a favorite book, when suddenly someone is shaking your shoulder and asking if you heard anything they just said.
