In this post 9/11 world, therapists need to expand their toolboxes to deal with the all of the different variations of trauma and their effects on the individual. This book takes one long step toward providing a new way of dealing with the devastating emotional residue of a traumatic event. It focuses on the innovative application of hypnotherapy to help many trauma victims come to grips with their demons. By helping victims "self-actualize," they can regain their normal life and move forward again. This book outlines the effects of trauma on both the mind and the body, and provides comprehensive systems and treatment plans for the mental disorder or distress caused or exacerbated by trauma.
