I have recently been trained in using a powerful technique to heal post traumatic stress disorder. Designed by Dr David Muss of the IARTT, it helps to remove the flashbacks and the constant reminders of trauma.
Best of all, it works without having to describe the trauma to the therapist (which actually repeats the trauma and causes even more distress).
It works well over zoom and in just one session, although of course a follow up is required to check that the trauma has gone for good. It doesn't take away the memory, but gives back control.
I'm currently looking for two people for case studies to complete my certification.
If you'd like to heal your PTSD, I'm offering treatment for just £30. Send me a message if you're interested!
