Trauma-Focused Hypnosis with Safe Distance Visualization

A trauma-focused hypnosis exercise where you imagine the traumatic event on one side of an internal screen while staying physically safe and comfortable in the present. You then shift attention to what you did to survive or protect yourself, reframing the memory so it feels less overwhelming and highlights resilience rather than helplessness.
