SOUL RETRIEVAL
Traumatic events bite off a piece of your inner essence and hold parts of 'you' hostage.​
This magnificent protective mechanism that helps us survive extreme circumstances is formally called dissociation. In effect, during a traumatic event, the brain separates the 'feeling' of what happened from the 'memory'. This allows you to continue functioning without becoming overwhelmed.
However, after a significant number of traumatic episodes, especially in early childhood, such as might occur in an alcoholic family, dissociation becomes a way of life. People with dissociative tendencies are usually highly functioning, successful, and seemingly calm individuals. However, on the inside, a person living in these patterns can feel disconnected, unhappy, and perpetually unsatisfied with their achievements.
​
In severe cases, dissociated parts can overtake normal functioning and create havoc within your life. Soul retrieval is a term used in the hypnotherapeutic process when these parts are located and reintegrated into the whole of the person. The effect of soul retrieval is one of great relief. Immediate restructuring of problematic and repeating negative patterns can be solved through soul retrieval.

Getting to the other side of the trauma wormhole.

In a sense, this is a true-the recapitulation of cycling in our daily life-over-eating in response to stress, getting angry at certain people for no reason, these are clues to a lost soul calling for attention. Deep inside your subconscious, you are reliving the trauma already-everyday.
Heart-Centered Clinical Hypnosis makes it possible for you to delve into your deepest fears and recover the lost pieces in a supported way. Not through talking about it, but by using the power of the magnificent mind to structure your journey to wholeness with your own helpers standing by your side. Soul retrieval is a form of native-shamanic practice that has been brought forth (with permission) to modern Heart-Centered Hypnotherapists.
Induction into hypnosis changes brainwave patterns and clears away the resistance that your normally functioning self places up as a guard to your psyche. Getting underneath this protective layer releases some of the pain of trauma work. The next step in the process is a little bit like programming your own video game. You get to step into the remembered state with your wise self, your superpowers, your voice, and your spirit guides. Access to the subconscious mind allows you to close the cycle of powerlessness and recreate a new ending to traumatic events.
The brain does not recognize time in the way we do, and this revised memory pattern will stop the cycling of the trauma response, and, in the process, you can literally find the pieces of light that were left behind. Warmth and self-love become a new normal.

In fact, BAA is a product of Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy. If we hadn't overcome our trauma, we would not be writing out this resource to help others. We have trained in this method because we experienced the transformation that this process brings. Together we have overcome addiction, dissociative disorders, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic shock, social mutism, and a myriad of other trauma symptoms that had previously had us cornered. You have to choose for yourself.
