“I felt grounded and could move through the day with more ease.”

Trauma-Related Support / Grounding & Choice

After difficult experiences, the body can stay on high alert—racing thoughts, spikes, and sleep disruption. Hypnotherapy offers a calm, skills-focused space to practice grounding, soften reactivity, and strengthen self-supporting thoughts. Sessions with Darrian Knotts, Certified Hypnotherapist, are in-person in Loves Park. You remain aware and in control; progress comes from the choices you practice between visits. This work complements care from licensed clinicians and is not a diagnosis or treatment.

Ready for Gentler Days

How Hypnotherapy Supports Trauma-Related Goals

  • Settle the body: breathing and muscle-release cues to lower the surge.

  • Ground in the present: simple anchors for flashbacks or startle responses.

  • Thought supports: kinder self-talk that respects your boundaries and pace.

  • Sleep steadiness: wind-down routines for nighttime spikes and vivid dreams.

  • Plan for triggers: a short, repeatable script you can use at work or home.

Hypnotherapy is complementary and educational. It does not diagnose or treat medical or mental-health conditions. If you’re in therapy or medical care, session suggestions can align with your provider’s guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this psychotherapy or trauma treatment?

No. It’s a complementary, skills-based service. Keep working with your licensed clinician for diagnosis or treatment.

Will I have to retell my whole story?

No. You control what you share. Sessions can focus on skills without going into detail.

How soon will I feel calmer?

Experiences vary. Many notice some ease as skills build; lasting change depends on daily practice. No results are guaranteed.
