Trauma-Informed QHHT: Why It Matters More Than We Realize
I use my trauma training in every QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) session I hold — whether the person is aware of their trauma or not.
Having facilitated several dozen sessions, I can say with complete confidence:
I wouldn’t do this work without significant trauma training.
We live in a profoundly wounded culture.
We normalize stress. We glorify over-functioning.
And we mistake disconnection for peace.
The Truth About Trauma
Trauma isn’t only the “big” events that we can easily name. It’s also the subtle, chronic disconnection from self that our culture quietly rewards.
It’s the tightening in the body that becomes so familiar we stop noticing it.
It’s the breath we forget to take.
It’s the part of ourselves we learned to hide — just to belong.
Whether someone carries a diagnosis like CPTSD or not, almost everyone I meet is living with some form of disconnection from self. It’s not a personal flaw. It’s a cultural symptom.
We’ve been conditioned to push through, stay productive, and hold everything together. But the cost is enormous: a deep separation from our own nervous system — and from the truth of who we are.
Why Trauma Training Matters
I completed a 13-month, graduate-level intensive program in Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté — a modality that transforms the way we understand human suffering, behaviour, and healing.
Too often, practitioners assume that following trauma content on social media or taking a short workshop is enough to safely facilitate deep healing experiences.
It isn’t.
True trauma-informed work requires a profound understanding of the paradigm of a traumatized person — how they perceive safety, how their nervous system organizes experience, and how subtle cues can either retraumatize or invite repair.
You have to be a safe person — not just use safe words.
You have to understand their world deeply enough to build a bridge for them to cross toward healing.
Because people who are growth-oriented — those drawn to therapy, spirituality, or self-development — are almost always carrying trauma. Often it’s unrecognized, but it quietly shapes how they live, love, and heal.
My Personal Connection
I have deep respect for every client who chooses to explore their growth through this work.
I remember how I felt when I first began my own healing — how stressed I was, how tight my body felt, how impossible it seemed to relax. I remember the relief (and the vulnerability) of being in a space where I could finally lower my shoulders a little… and breathe a little more fully.
That experience shaped me profoundly. It taught me that healing isn’t about someone doing something to us — it’s about being met in a way that allows the nervous system to remember safety again.
How I Approach QHHT Through a Trauma-Informed Lens
Even when someone books a QHHT session “just out of curiosity,” I approach it through a trauma-informed lens.
That means:
I hold space for their nervous system, not just their story.
I honour their pace — never pushing, always inviting.
I create safety first, because it’s the foundation for every real transformation.
This approach allows clients to meet themselves more deeply, release on a cellular level, and awaken to more of the truth of who they are.
Whether we’re exploring past lives, emotional healing, or soul purpose — the nervous system, and our felt sense of safety, are the bridge between the Human and the Divine.
The Bigger Picture
We don’t heal in isolation.
We heal in the presence of safety, compassion, and understanding.
And in a culture that’s constantly pulling us away from our center, trauma-informed spaces aren’t just helpful — they’re revolutionary.
So I’ll leave you with this reflection:
✨ What might become possible if your growth experiences were held by someone who meets you through a deeply trauma-informed lens?
