Making Peace with the Past

Past experiences can shape how we see ourselves and how we respond to the world. Difficult events — including regret, shame, or unresolved hurt — may contribute to beliefs that continue to influence present-day choices and relationships.

Memories that once felt overwhelming can retain emotional intensity long after the event has passed. Avoiding or suppressing these experiences may reduce discomfort temporarily, but the underlying emotions often remain active.

Acceptance does not mean minimising what happened. It involves allowing the experience to be processed in a way that reduces its ongoing emotional charge.

Hypnotherapy provides a structured approach to revisiting past experiences in a controlled and supported state. By working with the associated beliefs and emotional responses, it becomes possible to reduce their intensity and integrate them more constructively.
