COURSE SUMMARY
This course explores the nature of trauma and the way it drives our everyday experience – often in unrecognized ways. We will look at the different ways in which we ‘store’ traumatic experience and explore different methods for approaching the resolution of traumatic experience. The class focuses on the personal transformation model of Depth Hypnosis. We will explore how Depth Hypnosis addresses the symptoms of trauma by drawing on Buddhist understandings about the nature of suffering, earth-based wisdom techniques for catalyzing change, energy medicine methods of addressing trauma on the subtlest levels of experience, hypnosis as a vehicle for the exploration of the deeper self where traumatic experience is often registered, and transpersonal psychology as a framework for integrating these methods into the clinical setting.
