Stop Glorifying Trauma, Start Healing It

We are in this society that loves saying that they are in trauma. Somehow we have made it so cool. Yeah. People wear their therapy like a badge. I've been in therapy for 20 years. That means I'm a better person or something. Now, look, there's no doubt there's a value to getting something off your chest, to talking to somebody. The last 10 years, I have been working with people in trauma, war veterans, rape victims, bereavement cases. You know, like really at the sharp end. It's incredibly rewarding work. When you help somebody who's been in the darkest place, they cannot see any point in carrying on they there. You know, they're right at the edge and you're able to turn them around and they go, oh, my God, I've got my life back. That really is. It's a wonderful thing. And again, that's the beauty of being a hypnotherapist. I say to people, it's a very rich living, which is, sure, you do make good money being a hypnotherapist, but the richness comes from seeing somebody change. Somebody that just couldn't see a way out of this problem and suddenly they're free of it.
