Our subconscious mind wants us to learn lessons and develop understandings from every challenge in life. But some memories are so painful, we don’t want to think about them. The subconscious responds to our stubbornness by doing things to get our attention. Our subconscious may give us dreams that we call “nightmares”. Or it may give us peculiar behaviors or thoughts. Our subconscious does these things in an attempt to get us to learn the lessons we haven’t yet learned. Some people respond to their subconscious mind in very dire ways. Up to and including suicide.

It doesn’t have to be that way. The person dealing with the symptoms of PTSD can find peace and “normalcy” in a surprisingly short period of time.

Step One. Remove “old emotional baggage”

We all have emotions “running in the background”, taking up resources. Those emotions probably made perfect sense back when they were created, but no longer serve us.

It’s advertised as “Lose 10 pounds in one hour”, because the client feels so much lighter and freer after this process. Now that we have reclaimed all these resources, and the client feels much stronger, it’s time for…

Step Two. Give meaning to what happened

We can survive horrific circumstances.
Terrible things can happen to and around us, and we come out “ok”. Now it’s time to make sense of what happened. To learn the lessons our subconscious mind demands we learn. Once we give meaning to what happened, we can release the emotions tied up in the memory. Once we have learned the lessons, our subconscious no longer feels the need to give us “those dreams” or “those thoughts”.
