Trauma is a deeply personal and psychological response to distressing events, and its causes and perceived severity can vary widely across individuals and ages. At Mindset Clinical Hypnotherapy & BWRT, we recognise that trauma doesn’t always stem from a single dramatic event. It can arise from a wide range of experiences, each valid and impactful in their own way.
Under the umbrella of trauma, we include experiences such as:
What’s important to understand is that the symptoms of trauma can often look and feel similar, regardless of the original event. The nature of the trauma, age it occurred, and an individual’s psychological makeup all influence how it is processed. Trauma may manifest through anxiety, avoidance, anger, emotional numbness, low mood, or a range of physical symptoms.
At Mindset, we take trauma very seriously. We work with great sensitivity and respect for your individual experience. Using a blend of therapeutic approaches—including Advanced BWRT protocols optimised for trauma, we aim to effectively reduce or remove the negative impact of these past events.
Your well-being and sense of safety are always our top priority. You’re not alone, and help is available.

At Mindset Clinical Hypnotherapy & BWRT, we understand how deeply trauma can affect day-to-day life. Whether the event was recent or many years ago, the emotional and psychological impact can still be very present—and very real. With advanced BWRT® techniques, we can help reduce or remove the negative emotional responses associated with traumatic memories, often without the need for you to disclose distressing details.
These events can be life-changing—whether you’re directly involved or a witness. Car accidents, falls, medical emergencies, or witnessing traumatic scenes can leave behind lasting emotional scars. While many people experience a sense of shock or ‘surrealness’ in the moment, for some, the psychological impact lingers long after the event. If you find that flashbacks, anxiety, or avoidance are interfering with daily life, BWRT can help desensitise the emotional charge of the memory, allowing you to feel grounded and fully functional again.
Abuse leaves emotional wounds that can last a lifetime. Whether the abuse was recent or in your distant past, the effects can range from unwanted behaviours and persistent anxiety to depression, low self-worth, and self-sabotaging patterns. At Mindset, we offer a free 30-40 minute Initial Consultation to gently explore how you’ve been affected and what support would be most helpful for you.
BWRT is particularly well-suited for working with abuse because you don’t need to go into the details of what happened unless you wish to. Many clients find this deeply reassuring. That said, if you do feel comfortable sharing, this can sometimes be therapeutic in itself—but the choice is entirely yours.
Grief is a deeply human response to loss. Whether it’s the passing of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a beloved pet, or the loss of a job or health, we all process grief differently.
The emotional model developed by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross describes five key stages:
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
While most people will move through these stages in time, some find themselves ‘stuck’ in their grief—still emotionally overwhelmed 18 months or more after the loss. In these cases, therapy may be appropriate. At Mindset, we can use BWRT to help gently move you through the emotional blocks, helping you regain a sense of peace and allowing you to live fully again.
Bullying—whether experienced in childhood, adolescence or adulthood—can have a long-term impact on mental health. Being the victim of bullying often leads to low self-esteem, anxiety, or difficulty trusting others. The trauma is especially damaging when it occurs over a prolonged period.
Equally, if you’ve been the one who bullied others and now live with guilt or shame, that too can be a heavy emotional burden. Therapy at Mindset can address both the internalised effects of being bullied and the remorse or behaviour patterns of those who may have bullied others. With BWRT and other therapeutic tools, we can gently resolve the core emotional drivers and help you move forward.
PTSD is a severe anxiety-based condition resulting from exposure to one or more traumatic events. Although often associated with military combat, PTSD can also develop after serious accidents, assaults, natural disasters, or terrorist incidents. Common symptoms include:
At Mindset, we use Advanced BWRT protocols specifically designed to address the intense emotional and physiological responses of PTSD. While we cannot change the past, we can significantly lessen its grip on your present—helping you return to a calmer, more balanced life.
If you are struggling with the emotional impact of any traumatic experience, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to suffer in silence. Therapy with a trained BWRT professional offers you a structured, respectful, and effective path to healing.
