Childhood trauma can cast long shadows over our lives, but it doesn’t have to define your future. If you’re ready to heal and transform, this post is for you.
It was the morning of December 26th, and Emma (not her real name), a teenager at the time, found herself in the middle of a lagoon, half-blind as she had lost her glasses, and separated from her family. She remained separated from them for the next 24 hours, not knowing if they were dead or alive. The 2004 tsunami had hit the island of Sri Lanka, where Emma and her family were holidaying. The devastation was unimaginable.
Years later, Emma came to see Marcus. Unsurprisingly, the trauma left by the tsunami had affected many areas of her life. Slowly and gently, in their first session, Marcus helped Emma unpack the events of that day and the days that followed.
As a hypnotherapist, Marcus looks for the belief that maintains the emotional link between the traumatic event and its impact on the individual’s life years later. During that first session, it became apparent that Emma had a deeply held fear of being abandoned. This limiting belief caused her to gravitate towards people and situations that didn’t support her or align with her values. To avoid the pain of abandonment, Emma found it hard to set boundaries and stayed in situations that caused her emotional pain and stress.
In the sessions that followed, Marcus used a combination of hypnotherapy, NLP, and energy healing to help Emma overcome her fear of abandonment and replace it with a more supportive and transformational belief. Hypnotherapy allowed Emma to enter a state of deep relaxation, facilitating positive transformation. NLP was used to reframe her limiting beliefs about being abandoned, and energy healing helped release any remaining stuck energy from her energy field.
Months after the sessions, Emma contacted Marcus to share how impactful she found their sessions. She was more confident and happier in herself, and Emma had started setting healthy boundaries and was now surrounded by supportive people.
Take the Next Step: Many of us have had traumatic experiences that have shaped our lives. If you’re ready to break free from old patterns and let go of your past, book an appointment with Marcus on Fridays at Kundalini House and start your transformational journey.
