Hypnotherapy for my ptsd?
January 16th, 2011
I’m an 18 year old girl who just started college. Back in February, I did the dumbest thing with my cousins. I smoked so much weed that I blacked out but I was in a sort of unconcious state where I was able to hear everything. I opened my eyes and had to hold my cousins hand and I was hopping around and saying “Am I really here?” “I’m going to die”. And while I was blacked out I thought I was being dragged. This lasted for more than 24 hours where I couldnt sleep, etc. A month later I couldnt stop thinking about it. I was so scared. Then my anxiety went through the roof where I was missing days of school, I couldnt eat, sleep for days, I felt like I was in another world. I went to therapy 3 times and was getting so anxious there, I stopped going. Its been 8 months, and I feel like Im not here, like Im going to wake up from all of this, or Im going to “trip out” again. I cry to my mom and when I hug her I feel like shes not there. I hate feeling this way. Its making me more and more depressed which angers me and makes me more anxious. I feel like Im floating a lot, especially when Im in bed with my eyes closed. I just want this to be over. I use to be a happy, optimistic person, now everything frightenes me. I just feel like Im trapped and Im afraid Ill never go back to the way I use to be.
Will hypnotherapy help me get back to a rational mindset? Im afraid of getting into a trance because what if I feel like I am high and Ill freak out? What if I dont wake up from it like I feel after this happened to me?
Any advice, experience, or support will help

tell you what go and tell this story on the internet to thousands of people -it may disuade others from trying it ….

Spiritual healing ,Seichim and Reiki healing
This is the application of spiritual energies to the effect of helping people on all levels of their being .
That includes
Your mental well being
Your emotional well being
Your physical well being
Your spiritual well being .
There are millions of these therapists around the world and people travel from far and wide to them .Billions of people have been helped from these therapies .
And like all therapists there are good and not so good and some specialise in certain conditions like the physical and some do the mental etc .It is important to find the therapist which suits your complaint .
But you must bear this in mind all healing comes under what is known as spiritual law =you will be healed to the extent that you have earnt .ie your karma –the reaping and sowing of all deeds done 0ften from past lives .And what you are doing for the service of others in this life .
Thus you may easily two people with the same complaint go for healing and only one of them gets healed .which is why voluntary work is vital for your healing.
You must Find good therapists in your area /and a good spiritualist church who often give their services for free as an offering to the divine .
All you do is usually sit down in a comfortable chair and relax and think good loving thoughts –the healer may or may not place their hands upon you .That depends on how they are working .
You can even put your names healing books where believe it or not healing is sent to you by thought and that can be very powerful as well.

Harry Edwards recalled the case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought to me for healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again… and then he told me: “When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me.”
You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.
I’s report is complete – he is 100% fit and will have no trouble in resuming his sporting activities -considering the first reports, this is a miracle. I do not know how I would have managed without your wonderful help.
You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer.
I wrote to ask for healing for my sister who was to undergo an operation for aneurysm in the aorta. Her operation was very successful. After 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in progressive care she was back in her own room and has done extremely well. She was allowed home after 7 days when she had been told to expect to be in hospital for 10 to 15 days. Everyone was amazed at her recovery and the surgeon told her she had been a perfect patient. I feel sure the absent healing and our prayers were to a great extent responsible for this wonderful recovery and I thank you most sincerely for your help.
I thought perhaps you would like to have a record of the people you have helped during the time I have been sending reports. M.L. -angina, complete recovery. D. L. -duodenal ulcer, complete healing. B.L. – Angina, complete recovery. P.D. – Leukaemia – apparent full recovery.
On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. 1141/6
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. 1145/6
G.S. Good news. Up until recently he had to be helped to get into and out of his car. It is adapted to enable a disabled person to drive, The other day he got into his car entirely on his own and drove some 12 miles to a nearby town. Got out on his own and went into a shop to make a purchase. No wheelchair anymore! 1142/6
You both, along with our friends in Spirit, have been directing healing for our daughter who, as I told you, has been given a full bill of health, thank you. 1146/6
First of all, you are allergic to marijuana. I know because I am also allergic to it and had a similar experience. Do not use it again and avoid any exposure to it. If you have another reaction to it, it will be worse.
If you have used it for a long time, it can take months or years to completely leave your system. Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. Eat a healthy diet and take care of yourself. The effects will slowly fade.
I would not go to a hypnotist. It can be dangerous for the exact reasons you have stated and more.
I would go to a regular doctor and a drug abuse counselor. The doctor can treat your anxiety. Drug counselors are familiar with these sorts of drug reactions and will be able to help you process your feelings and fears so that you can recover.
Good luck!
Hi Emily
I wonder what kind of therapy you had that increased your anxiety?
From what you say I think you do need professional care at the moment, and with the best will in the world you will not get that here. Your feeling of not being here sounds like something called ‘derealization’. It goes hand in hand (usually) with ‘depersonalization’.
Beyond that I hesitate to diagnose as I don’t have the benefit of a full case history.
See your doctor. They’ll probably want to medicate you and in the short term that might not altogether be such a bad idea.
As for hypnotherapy, it might help. If you came to see me I’d still suggest you see your doctor too. I don’t know if I could hypnotise you – it’s impossible to tell in advance. I do know, however, that if I could hypnotize you then I could wake you up. There are no zombies wandering the planet because they got stuck in hypnosis. If there were, you’d have read about them.
You will recover. Stay off the weed. See your doctor. Take all the help and support you can get. And feel free to e-mail me if you need to.
Best wishes
