Episode Overview
- Clinical hypnotherapy helps align unconscious and conscious minds.
- Talk therapy alone may not address all emotional difficulties.
- Childhood experiences significantly shape our nervous systems.
- Somatic practices like mindfulness and breathwork are essential.
- Nervous system regulation should be a long-term lifestyle change.
Our body does remember what's happened to us, even if we don't have words that give us a narrative for that
Gavin J hosts another engaging episode of The Therapy Suite on UK Health Radio Podcast, where he sits down with Dr. Tracy King, a clinical psychologist with a rich background in media and hypnotherapy. Dr. King shares her fascinating journey from feature writing to clinical psychology, driven by a personal connection to mental health challenges in her family.
She delves into the intricacies of clinical hypnotherapy, explaining how it helps align the unconscious and conscious minds to tackle issues like smoking cessation and phobias. Dr. King also discusses the limitations of talk therapy alone, citing Bessel van der Kolk's work on how the body remembers trauma even when words fail. She provides real-life examples, including a young boy with conversion disorder who regained his ability to speak after months of therapeutic intervention.
The conversation covers how childhood experiences shape our nervous systems and the importance of integrating somatic practices like mindfulness and breathwork into daily life. The episode wraps up with Dr. King advocating for the inclusion of nervous system regulation techniques in school curriculums and everyday life. She emphasises that these practices should be viewed as long-term lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.
If you're curious about how hypnotherapy can complement traditional therapy or want to understand the deep connection between mind and body, this episode is a must-listen.
