Treatment for Trauma and PTSD Using an Advanced Form of Hypnotherapy in Mulgoa, Penrith
Living with trauma or PTSD can feel like you’re constantly trapped in a cycle of fear, stress, or emotional numbness. Whether it stems from a single event or ongoing experiences, trauma can deeply affect how you perceive the world. Flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts may disrupt your day-to-day life, making it difficult to feel safe or in control. You may find yourself avoiding certain places or people, or reacting intensely to triggers that seem unrelated but reignite the emotional pain from past events.
For many, this leads to a growing sense of isolation and frustration, as you may feel misunderstood by those around you. The longer trauma and PTSD go unaddressed, the more they can shape your relationships, work, and overall well-being. The effects can spiral into other areas of life, causing anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms such as insomnia and chronic fatigue. But the good news is, no matter how deep the pain, there is a path to healing and reclaiming your life with a unique combination of Neuro Linguistic Programming, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy.
Hi, I’m Margaret Muscat
I’m here to guide you through the process of healing from trauma and PTSD. Having lived it myself, and having worked with countless individuals who have experienced similar struggles, I understand how deeply these wounds can cut and how difficult it can feel to move forward.

You don’t have to go through this alone—I’m here to help you find peace and resilience again.

Why a Combination of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy is More Powerful for Treating PTSD and Depression
I offer a combination of Strategic Psychotherapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to help you heal from trauma and manage PTSD. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for addressing the unconscious mind, where much of the emotional pain and fear from trauma is stored. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy allows us to access and reframe those traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and helping you regain control over your responses.
Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy by focusing on goal-oriented interventions. Each session is designed to address the specific aspects of trauma or PTSD that are holding you back, such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, or avoidance behaviours. This approach helps dismantle the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of fear, allowing for long-term relief. Whether your trauma is tied to a specific event, ongoing experiences, or past trauma that has resurfaced as PTSD, we will work together to shift the way your mind processes these memories.
Research shows that hypnotherapy can be highly effective for treating trauma and PTSD. Studies indicate that hypnotherapy significantly reduces symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and avoidance behaviours. According to a study by Abramowitz (2001), patients treated with hypnotherapy saw significant reductions in PTSD symptoms after only a few sessions, proving that this approach can lead to real, lasting change.
I’ll guide you through the process of reworking how your mind reacts to traumatic memories. By reframing these experiences in a safe, controlled environment, you’ll gain the strength to manage triggers and cope with stressors that used to overwhelm you. You’ll notice fewer intense reactions and a greater ability to live in the present rather than being anchored in the past.
Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnotherapy offers a long-term solution for trauma and PTSD, one that addresses not just the symptoms but the root cause of your emotional pain. Together, we can create real, lasting change that will allow you to heal and regain the confidence to live without fear. You deserve to feel at peace again, and I’m here to help you achieve that.

Frequently Ask Questions
Not sure yet? Here are the answers to some common questions
Clinical hypnotherapy is a structured, therapeutic process that utilises hypnosis to help individuals address various mental and emotional challenges. By guiding patients into deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility, a skilled hypnotherapist works with the subconscious mind to facilitate positive changes in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This evidence-based approach empowers individuals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being in a safe and non-invasive manner.
Strategic hypnotherapy is a goal-oriented approach that combines hypnosis with strategic therapy techniques to efficiently address specific issues like phobias, addictions, and unwanted behaviours. By accessing the unconscious mind and using targeted suggestions, the therapist helps clients quickly reprogram limiting beliefs, build coping strategies, and achieve desired outcomes, often in fewer sessions than traditional therapy methods.
Strategic hypnotherapy for trauma involves the therapist guiding the client into a focused state using hypnosis to access the unconscious mind, where traumatic memories and beliefs are stored. Using hypnotic and semi-hypnotic techniques, we can reframe traumatic experiences, clear flashbacks and develop coping strategies. This goal-oriented approach aims to address the thinking patterns that make people prone to trauma. If you tend to catastrophise, you are much more likely to suffer than someone who does not.
Several studies and meta-analyses have shown promising results for the use of hypnotherapy in treating trauma and trauma-related disorders, such as PTSD. These studies have found that hypnotherapy can be effective in reducing symptoms like intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance behaviours, anxiety, and depression. However, more large-scale, controlled studies are needed to further establish the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for trauma, and it should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan alongside other evidence-based therapies.

Through the use of secure video conferencing technology, you can connect with our skilled hypnotherapists regardless of your geographical location, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals and improve your overall well-being.
Hypnosis cannot force you to act against your will or beliefs. During hypnotherapy, you remain in control and can reject any suggestions that conflict with your values or desires. The hypnotherapist guides you and offers suggestions aligned with your goals, but the process is collaborative, and your free will remains intact. It’s important to choose a qualified, ethical hypnotherapist who respects your autonomy.
When hypnotised, you may experience deep relaxation, focused attention, and heightened suggestibility. You might feel a sense of detachment as if watching yourself from a distance. Time may seem distorted, and you may have vivid mental imagery. Despite this altered state, you remain in control and can communicate with your hypnotherapist throughout the session.
During hypnosis, individuals typically feel deeply relaxed and focused. You may experience a sense of calm and detachment from external distractions. Some people describe it as similar to the feeling just before falling asleep, where you are relaxed but still aware of your surroundings.
