Healing the Past with Hypnotherapy

By Lisa Peacocke – Clinical Hypnotherapist & Life Coach

Clinical Hypnotherapist and Life Coach Lisa Peacocke explains how hypnotherapy can help adults overcome childhood trauma and step into healing.

Why Childhood Trauma Matters

Childhood should be a time of safety, love, and learning. But for many people, early life was touched by experiences that were frightening, confusing, or painful.

Whether neglect, abuse, instability, or abandonment, these moments can leave an imprint that lingers long after childhood ends.

Even decades later, unresolved trauma can resurface as:

• Anxiety
• Low self-esteem
• Difficulties in relationships
• Self-sabotaging behaviours
• Chronic stress
• Physical symptoms

This is where hypnotherapy can be a powerful ally in the healing journey.

Why Hypnotherapy Works for Trauma

Trauma doesn’t just live in your memories – it’s stored in your subconscious and body’s nervous system.

Traditional talk therapy can help, but it often doesn’t reach the deeper layers where pain is held. Hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious, the part of the mind that influences feelings, habits, and beliefs.

In a safe, supportive environment, hypnotherapy helps you gently revisit past experiences – not to relive the pain, but to release the emotional charge they still carry.

This process allows you to create new, healthier patterns in the present.

What a Session Looks Like

Hypnosis is not about losing control. Instead, it’s a deeply relaxed, focused state where your conscious mind steps back and your subconscious opens to positive change.

In this state, Lisa may guide you through:

• Calming your nervous system
• Revisiting younger parts of yourself with compassion
• Reframing old limiting beliefs (“I’m not good enough,” “I can’t trust people”)
• Building new, empowering beliefs about yourself and your life

The Results You Can Expect

Clients often report that, over time, they:

• Respond to challenges with calm instead of panic
• Feel more self-compassion and acceptance
• Break free from destructive patterns in work or relationships
• Experience more energy, peace, and resilience
• Improve relationships, sleep, and overall wellbeing

Healing trauma is a process, not a quick fix. But each step frees you from being controlled by old wounds, allowing you to live fully in the present.

Moving Forward

If you’ve carried the weight of childhood trauma for years, you may already know that willpower alone isn’t enough to change deep-rooted patterns.

Hypnotherapy offers a safe, effective way to let go of the past, restore balance, and reconnect with your confident, resilient self.

Your story isn’t defined by what happened to you – but shaped by how you choose to heal from it. And that healing can start today.
