Trauma Release

Trauma and self-belief are areas I work extensively with. I have added to my NLP and Hypnotherapy background by training in three trauma focused therapies: Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Metapsychology, and Somasense®. I have also completed training with NICABM on the Neurobiology of Trauma and Mastering the Treatment of Trauma.

I often combine my therapies with Kinesiology techniques, such as, trauma recall and the Emotional Stress Release (ESR) programme. Donna Eden's chakra healing is also a gentle way to release trauma. I have co-created Soma-Psych Alignment®, which allows the body to do the talking, so sessions can be content free.

I support clients with a lack of confidence, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and burnout. I also work with neurodivergent clients and provide targeted support to those who have received a diagnosis later in life.

Soma-Psych Alignment® is a trauma-based psychosomatic therapy which combines muscle response testing, light hypnotherapy or meditation, and energy balancing techniques. 

It works on the principle that you do not need to verbally share or relive the trauma – they can allow their physical body to communicate instead. This enables release in a way that is content free.

I have blended my training and experience to co-create Soma-Psych Alignment®.

Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is a brief therapy that uses simple eye movements and questioning techniques to change a specific thought pattern that may be challenging. 

Moving our eyes in certain ways appears to link to the part of the brain that stores our memories, emotions and trauma. It can be particularly supportive in easing post traumatic stress. 

IEMT techniques help create change by rapidly minimising unwanted feelings to help resolve issues. It can also show why unwanted behaviours  may be repeated and how to deal with this without the need for digging up the past.

Unlike many therapeutic processes IEMT does not require you to disclose lots of details about your experience or give information about difficult events.  

Metapsychology (formerly Metaphysical Anatomy Technique) covers metaphysics, quantum entanglement, anatomy, psychosomatics, psychology, and science.

Physical pain is seen as a sign that trauma is still present in our body. This pain is trying to show us that there is something we still need to resolve. 

Metapsychology provides a set of tools to support releasing that trauma in a gentle way along with the associated pain.  

I am a Metapsychology Coach™ with advanced training in Metapsychology and a former Metaphysical Anatomy Technique level 1 teacher.

As a Somasense® practitioner I offer a targeted three session package focusing on the mind-body connection.

When we experience trauma our bodies store this information. If we haven't physically worked through the trauma we may experience chronic pain, anxiety and depression. Our mind and body may be in a constant state of conflict as we continue to think of them as two separate entities. By encouraging you to connect deeply at a somatic level, you learn from your body, connect with and interpret the messages it holds.

Over the three sessions I encourage clients to connect with and release stored physical trauma in a compassionate way.   

"I saw Laura for IEMT to resolve PTSD being triggered by wearing a face mask. Working in the healthcare industry means wearing PPE is an absolute must. I wanted to be able to wear a mask shopping and at work. 

I was signed off work for a couple of weeks and avoided the supermarket and anywhere public. I suffered horrendous flashbacks as soon as a mask covered my face. 

In one session Laura combined her skills of IEMT and hypnotherapy - I left the session laughing whilst wearing my mask! In the 25 minute journey home I didn’t even realise I was still wearing a mask until I checked in the mirror before getting out of the car for my first food shop in weeks.
I wore a massive smile underneath my mask whilst out shopping and returned back to work the following week. It all feels in the very distant past now. 

In one hour Laura helped me to completely resolve my issue and reclaim my crown after trauma. I can’t recommend this lady enough. Thank you Laura."

"I had lost count of the thousands I had spent with very little improvement to my health. Lucie, my sister, felt as a last resort MAT could release any trauma that may be locked in my body. This is how I met Laura. It was the beginning of a miracle that happened in a very short space of time. Every time I ate I experienced a histamine reaction, after just one session with Laura my body no longer reacted. I was in shock (good shock) for days."

“The session was very relaxing, Laura has a very calming energy, and I found it very easy to just switch off and enjoy the experience. The way Laura combined her skills of kinesiology, NLP and hypnosis was wonderful. It all flowed and complemented each other really well. I feel uplifted and balanced after the session.”

“SPA is a relaxing and enjoyable process which works with the subconscious mind. Laura is guided by what your body tells her it wants. She is intuitive and blends in various modalities to the SPA session. I am always impressed by how I am drawn to a colour or something Laura holds and how it is related to what I am going through or feeling.”
