I learned long ago, to tell people in my life how I feel about them. Therefore, I tell someone when I appreciate what they do for me. When I feel love for a dear friend, I tell them.

I worked hospice for a few years. As a nurse, my responsibility to my patient is to keep them comfortable and to help them express their true feelings about their impending death. I encouraged each patient to tell their loved ones how much that person means to them. However, it’s not always an easy conversation to tell someone good-bye.

Saying Good-bye

Often times, we don’t have the opportunity to tell our loved one good-bye. Death comes suddenly and things are left unsaid. When this happens, we have unresolved grief. The, “I wish I had said”, “I wish I had done”, “What if they didn’t know” is a strain on the one left behind. The toll affects the survivor’s health.

These thoughts keep coming to the forefront of your mind. In other words, the regret is never resolved. It’s hard to move forward in life. You are stuck and can’t get out of this loop.

Recently, I did hypnosis on a very sweet woman for unresolved grief. In addition, her life is in turmoil. She is having problems remembering things that she needs to do her job successfully. Similarly, she’s having problems navigating through day to day living.

Hypnosis for grief

During this session, I learned her intuition told her to go home. She did go home following this strong feeling she had. Walking into her apartment, she heard the shower running. She went to the bathroom finding her spouse of twenty-three years laying on the floor. Her first reaction was he had felt faint and laid down on the floor. However, she soon realized that he was gone.

Most importantly, the main issue is that they had been having problems in the relationship. However, they decided that they would work through any issues hindering them from having a supportive union.

Her significant other has been dead for three years now. She is not able to get past the consistent grief. Above all, she has no joy in life. Her life is held hostage from this depression.

As she sat down, this lovely woman told me, “You are my last hope. I’ve tried everything to work through this pain.”

The sadness and pain in her eyes told me she is not able to enjoy life. In the pre-hypnosis interview I gathered the information I need to formulate a plan to help her out of this loop of pain.

How hypnosis helped her resolve grief

This woman is easily regressed into a deep state of relaxation. I use regression techniques to put her back into the moment she realized he was gone. I find regression is a valuable tool to use in many different situations.

Durning the session, she is able to tell her loved one the things she wished she had been able to say. As she talked to her spouse, I see the strained look leaving her face. I see her smile as she listens to what he is telling her.

When the session is over, she tells me that she finally feels that the healing process can start. In addition, this sweet woman is a Reiki practitioner. She now feels that she can use her skills to help in her own healing process.

Summary

Hypnosis is a valuable tool to use when you can’t move forward. If you are not able to move ahead in life after losing a loved one, then you may want to consider hypnosis. I receive referrals from mental health therapist when they have a client who is stuck and not able to move forward in their sessions.

Hypnosis is used along with other modalities in the health care field. I see miracles often when clients come in for a session. The pain is no longer an issue. They have a new lease on life. This is rewarding for me to see the change in my clients after a hypnosis session.

Life is not about how many breathes we take. It’s about the moments that take our breath away. The moments of awesome love and joy.
