Trauma and PTSD Relief with Hypnosis

Trauma and PTSD can leave lasting scars, affecting your daily life in ways that seem beyond control. The flashbacks, the overwhelming emotions, the triggers that pull you back into painful memories—it’s exhausting. Traditional treatments like therapy and medication can help, but sometimes they don’t fully address the deep-rooted patterns in the subconscious mind.

At Pure Hypnosis, we offer a targeted approach to healing trauma and PTSD through hypnotherapy. Our method goes beyond surface-level relief, working directly with the subconscious to address the root causes of your pain and begin the process of true healing.

Working with Sean, a skilled hypnotherapist specializing in trauma and PTSD, you will:

Reprocess and release trauma from your subconscious mind
Identify and neutralize triggers that cause emotional distress

Reconnect with your inner strength and resilience
Build a sense of safety and calm within yourself
Shift from a survival mindset to a thriving mindset

Our hypnosis sessions help you access the subconscious mind, where trauma is often stored, allowing for healing at a deep level. This approach can lead to long-lasting change, helping you regain control over your emotions and break free from the grip of trauma.

Testimonials by Maggi Harwood & others

I have struggled most of my life with issues stemming from childhood and felt like I was finally at a breaking point. I couldn’t seem to conquer binge eating and realized I wasn’t equipped with the tools necessary to break free. I knew that ultimately my issue was not food-related but attached to trauma. After our initial consultation, I knew I wanted to work with Sean no matter the cost. My first in-person visit with Sean was nothing short of fascinating. I came out of the hypnosis exhibiting an unexpected – but amazing – emotional release. It was incredible to feel decades of pain and anxiety loosen its hold on me. Sean gives you the advice, confidence, and support you need to reach your goals, but you have to do your due diligence and put in the work. You must make it a daily habit to listen back to the recordings of your sessions so you benefit from the full experience of what hypnosis can offer. Above all, Sean has been a great sounding board and, for the first time ever throughout years of counseling, I have had “aha!” moments. You can get to where you want to be, and Sean will show you how.

“I saw Sean for some trauma I had experienced and was having a hard time processing and moving past. He helped me move beyond it after several attempts on my own and I’m finally out of turmoil that was sad and frustrating and frankly, holding me back from living life to its fullest. He helped my daughter with her anxiety, too, no small feat for a teenage girl. It’s likely we’ll see him again in the future. I found him to be professional and caring and able to share personal experiences when applicable to my own situations. Less important but still nice, his location was easy to get to and scheduling was no hassle. I recommend him without reservation.”

“I have seen Sean over the years for various issues and have even sent my son to see him. He has always been helpful in guiding me through traumas and tribulations–even some decades old–just by allowing my mind to relax and heal itself. He certainly knows how to clear the clutter from your head! It’s important to trust the professionals that you allow into your life and I trust Sean. I can recommend him with no hesitations or reservations.”

“I struggled with PTSD and severe anxiety for 4 years. I couldn’t eat, socialize, or sleep. I tried many different therapists and medicines over those 4 years and finally found Sean. When I went for my consultation I instantly felt comfortable and safe, which I hadn’t felt in a long time. At my first appointment with him, I felt immediate relief that I hadn’t felt in years. I told him all of my goals and he promised to help me reach those no matter what. I did 4 sessions in total and by the end felt like a brand new person. Things i thought i’d never do again, i’m exceeding at now and it’s all because of him. I drove 2 hours to see him and it was 100% worth it. Sean truly cares about his patients. He still keeps in contact with me to this day. I highly recommend Sean for any problems, especially PTSD & Anxiety Disorders!”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about Sean Wheeler and Pure Hypnosis! I met Sean while studying NLP but it wasn’t until recently that I had the chance to have a transformative session with him. From the moment I first spoke with Sean, I felt completely at ease and understood. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, but he’s also a genuinely kind, compassionate, and grounded person. Our session helped me gain clarity, emotional release, and deep insight in ways I didn’t expect. What I appreciated most was his ability to listen without judgment and guide me with such patience and presence. I felt safe, understood, and empowered throughout the process. If you're considering hypnotherapy and want someone highly professional and that you can fully trust to walk alongside you in your healing or transformation journey, Sean is the one. His work is powerful, and his character is just as remarkable. I can’t recommend Sean highly enough!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot begin to express my absolute thanks to Sean for how much he helped me. I suffer from awful anxiety. I'm a people pleaser that pretty much lived to make everyone else happy. I had 6 sessions with Sean and could not be happier with the results. I still listen to my sessions every day just to keep them fresh on my brain. If you're even thinking about Hypnosis, Sean is the real deal and an amazing, caring person to boot. You can tell that he cares very much for his clients. Thank you so much, Sean. You are a true light in the dark.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I  had the incredible hypnotherapy session with Arno Ma and it was truly transforming. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. The atmosphere was calming, professional, and welcoming—exactly what I needed to relax and open up. He is warm, compassionate, and clearly very skilled. He took the time to truly understand what I was hoping to work on, and the session felt completely tailored to my needs. I was amazed at how deeply I was able to relax and how natural the process felt—a powerful, guided inner work. What surprised me most was the impact after just one session. I felt  more relaxed and courageous.  something had gently shifted inside me. A problem I’d been carrying for years suddenly felt more manageable, like I finally had the tools and insight to move forward. I can't thank enough for the help I have received through these sessions

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Sean because of ongoing insomnia. I used to sleep so well but that abruptly changed over the past year. I am now falling asleep quickly and sleeping well. I wake up refreshed and feeling better than I have in quite some time. It’s such a relief. Thank you for your sincere desire to help others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My issue concerned performance anxiety which has affected me negatively in business, athletics, etc.  Sean's listening and counselling abilities to uncover the underlying issues are impressive.  In fact, while I feel the hypnotic sessions were valuable and right on the mark, I value his counselling as much if not more and I experienced positive results right after the first session.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing numerous hypnotherapy sessions with Sean Wheeler and I cannot express enough how transformative and enlightening the experience was. I had been experiencing for many months a major depressive episode that was exacerbated by severe, unrelenting rumination  related to an emotionally traumatic breakup of a relationship years ago. After months of intensive cognitive behavioral therapy coupled with antidepressant medications, I was feeling increasingly hopeless and frankly, at times, suicidal. Feeling that I had exhausted many options, I stumbled across Sean Wheeler in a Google search and thank God I did because I truly believe Sean was able to provide the lifeline for me that likely saved my life. Much to my surprise and delight, following the very first session, I felt hope and optimism that I had not experienced in months. There was an almost immediate connection that I experienced with Sean who seemed to know exactly how I was feeling, why I was feeling the way I was and what needed to be done to turn my life around. Sean exudes professionalism and genuine personal care, making it clear that he is committed to his clients’ well being. Sean took the time to understand my needs and concerns and created a tailored approach that made me feel both valued and understood. I discovered a renewed sense of clarity and self-awareness that had not been experienced in a long time. The process was both enlightening and empowering. Sean is very gifted and has the ability to foster a safe space where I felt completely comfortable exploring my thoughts and emotions. Sean's empathetic demeanor and expertise created an atmosphere of trust that made the experience both effective and enjoyable. Each hypnotherapy session left me feeling lighter, more focused and equipped with practical tools to foster my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Sean Wheeler to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate hypnotherapist. Whether you're looking to manage stress, overcome fears or explore personal growth, Sean will guide you on a path of healing and discovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A Life-Changing First Session I wasn’t sure what to expect going into my first session with Sean, but it turned out to be unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. From the very beginning, I felt something shift. For the first time in a long time, I was able to slow down and really see my thoughts and beliefs clearly. Sean didn’t challenge them or try to change them—he simply held up a mirror and showed me what I was thinking. That alone was incredibly powerful. The best way I can describe it is: you are the result of your thinking. That realization hit me hard. In that moment, I saw that the root of both my struggles and my successes came from within—my beliefs, my mindset, my internal dialogue. Then, the real magic started. Sean asked me two simple but profound questions: What do you want to achieve? Who do you want to be? And just like that, something opened up inside me. I was dreaming again—for the first time since I was a kid. As adults, we get stuck on the treadmill of life: work, eat, sleep, pay bills, repeat. Somewhere along the way, we forget to live. This session reminded me not only who I am, but who I can be. I waited about a month to write this review because I wanted to be sure the impact was real—and I can honestly say, my life has completely changed because of Sean. I feel more aligned, more hopeful, and more in control than I ever have. In fact, I’m so inspired that I’ve started considering going through his hypnotherapy certification program myself. I truly believe this work has the power to change lives—and maybe even the world. Lastly, I picked up Sean’s new book, "The Executive Dad's Playbook: Mastering the Game of Life, Love, and Legacy." During one of our sessions, he talked about legacy—about what we want to leave behind for our families. That message stayed with me. It's not just about surviving anymore. It’s about living with intention, purpose, and heart. If you’re even thinking about booking a session with Sean—do it. I can’t recommend it enough.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hypnosis, and how can it help with trauma or PTSD?

Hypnosis is a deeply focused state of relaxation where the mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and healing. In the case of trauma or PTSD, hypnosis can help address the root causes of emotional distress, allowing for the release of stored negative emotions and reducing symptoms like anxiety, nightmares, and flashbacks. Through therapeutic hypnosis techniques, we guide you to reframe traumatic experiences and replace them with healthier coping strategies.

How many sessions will I need to see results?

Every individual’s journey is different, but many people experience significant improvements after just a few sessions. Typically, for trauma and PTSD, 3 to 6 sessions can lead to noticeable relief, although some may require more depending on the complexity of the trauma. Our goal is to work at a pace that feels comfortable for you while ensuring lasting results.

Is hypnosis safe for trauma recovery?

Yes, hypnosis is completely safe when practiced by a trained professional. At Pure Hypnosis in Atlanta, we use clinical techniques designed to guide you gently through the process, ensuring that you feel supported and in control. You will always remain conscious and aware during hypnosis, and you can stop the process at any time if you feel uncomfortable.

Can hypnosis help with flashbacks or nightmares related to trauma?

Yes, one of the major benefits of hypnosis for PTSD is its ability to reduce or eliminate flashbacks and nightmares. Through guided imagery and relaxation techniques, we help rewire your brain’s response to traumatic memories, so these intrusive experiences become less frequent and less intense. Hypnosis allows you to regain control over your mind and emotions, bringing more peace and stability into your life.

Will I lose control of my mind during hypnosis?

No, hypnosis does not cause you to lose control. You will always be in charge and aware of your surroundings. Instead, hypnosis creates a state of deep relaxation where your subconscious mind is more open to healing suggestions. It’s like daydreaming or being engrossed in a good book—you’re focused, but still fully in control.

Can I use hypnosis to address multiple traumatic experiences at once?

Absolutely! Hypnosis allows us to address multiple layers of trauma in a safe and organized manner. We begin by focusing on the most pressing issues and gradually work through past experiences. Each session helps release emotional baggage, and over time, it’s common for clients to experience greater emotional freedom and peace as they heal from multiple traumas.

How will I feel after a hypnosis session for trauma?

After a hypnosis session, many clients report feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, and more at peace. The immediate effects often include a sense of relief from anxiety and emotional tension. In the following days, you may notice that you’re better able to cope with stress, have improved sleep, and experience a reduction in PTSD symptoms. Long-term, the healing process continues, helping you to feel more grounded and emotionally balanced.
