Hypnotherapy for PTSD

A supportive, personalized approach to managing the lasting effects of trauma.

“If you are affected by someone or something that happened, hypnosis therapy would allow you to relax introspectively with the way you used to be affected and that can change that emotion of sadness or rage and changing the emotion as a practical solution, changes the negative affection and when that changes , sadness and rage or other sentiments would change, the person would be relieved from having to avoid remembering or being affected by what they remember.”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I had a chance I would leave a 10 star Google Review. I really mean it! Gill changed my life in 8 sessions. I have been having panic attacks, insomnia over a 30+ year period. It started in my late 20's and early 30's. Working with Gill over the last 8 weeks was a life transforming experience. I have worked with alot of physiotherapist over the years but nothing compares to what Gill has done for me. I'm 66 years old, feeling a lot better about myself with more confidence, energy, stamina, feeling more calm and relaxed and sleeping very well. Before we started my wife purchased the Oura Ring for my birthday so I have been tracking my stress level, sleep patterns, workouts and heart rate. I recorded all the sessions on my iphone and have been listening to the recordings, two sometimes three a day. It takes work but it is worth it. Thanks Again Gill, your part of my Italian family now. Love You Vince!

He helped me break through barriers and discover newfound motivation within myself. I recommend Gill to anyone seeking not just guidance, but an ally on their journey towards positive change and self-discovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was pleasantly surprised by the initial. From beginning to end felt like someone I knew and trusted. Guillermo was so thorough and gave me a sense of peace and confidence. He was very patient with me and flexible with my schedule. Every session made me feel so calm. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with Alternative Realization Hypnotherapy and they are very professional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had tried cognitive therapy which never gave me the immediate, tangible results I was looking for and wanted to be able to make changes now, not 5 years after therapy.

In the 6 sessions completed so far I have made tremendous strides in being able to manage complex communication within my interpersonal relationships.

Guillermo is an expert in distilling the issues I want to discuss in each session to really getting at the core of what I need.  Using hypnotherapy, we finish the session implanting the solutions into my sub conscience where it is accessed at the sub conscience level in real life situations.

The changes in my personal situation were immediate and continue to influence my daily interactions.

Highly, highly, recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Guillermo almost a year ago and he has been truly amazing to work with. I have tried traditional cognitive behavioral therapy and lifecoaching in the past, but Guillermo has brought a fresh perspective and discernment to my life . . . not only through very effective hypnotherapy, but also keen insight into my specific personality. He is incredibly easy to talk to and creates a safe, non-judgmental space. Mr. Guillermo is not only an incredible listener, but also a very effective practitioner for change. I cannot recommend his highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with Guillermo for the last few months and the results have been life changing! I chose this route as an alternative to traditional therapy, and from the first session, I had more results than years in therapy. He’s an amazing listener and as a result is able identify route of the issues and deliver solutions on the spot with his treatments. Moreover, he’s very personable, easy to communicate with, and as I result I felt very comfortable being open with him at all times. I’ve already recommended him to loved ones and hope you also consider him if you’re in need of the services he offers. You’ll have zero regrets with outstanding results :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I never write reviews, but I felt that for this - I absolutely needed to.
I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks on an extreme level for the last two years. I went to a psychiatrist and they prescribed me medication. I did not want to be on medication. I wanted help to fix what was going on, not a band aid to mask the underlying issues.

I am so beyond thankful to have found Gil and after one session, it seems that my panic and anxiety has simmered down to a completely normal level. Everyone has normal nerves, mine was beyond that level. Anxiety and panic disorder had literally ruined my life for the last year and a half. I was really skeptical about hypnotherapy because I didn’t think it would work. But I have found that not only does it work, but after one session I feel like I have really gained so much tools on the way I looked at my issues in the past and have turned it around.

If you are nervous or skeptical, I very strongly urge you to just try this, at least once. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I am so beyond thankful that I have found Gil and I cannot wait for future sessions to really get to the root of this anxiety and have it disappear once and for all. Thank you so much for all the work you have done in just one session. It has literally saved my life.

Living with post-traumatic stress can mean carrying a heightened sense of alertness, difficult memories, and reactions that feel out of your control long after the original event has passed. I am Guillermo Leon, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Timeslips Facilitator with more than 8,000 hours of practice, and I work with clients in Fort Lauderdale who are looking for additional support alongside their existing care.

How hypnotherapy can support PTSD recovery

Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for trauma-focused medical or psychological treatment, and it works best as one part of a broader care plan. What it can offer is a calm, focused state in which we work together on the nervous system responses connected to your experience, such as heightened startle reactions, racing thoughts, and difficulty relaxing. Sessions are built around your pace and your comfort, never rushed and never forced.

What sessions look like

Your first session runs about 90 minutes. We begin with an unhurried conversation about what you have been through and what you want support with. From there, we work at a pace that respects your history, using relaxation and focused techniques designed to help you feel more grounded and less reactive over time. If you are already working with a therapist or physician for PTSD, I am glad to work alongside that care rather than in place of it.

A note on medical care

PTSD is a recognized clinical condition, and hypnotherapy should be considered a complementary support, not a substitute for treatment from a licensed mental health professional. If you are not already working with a therapist or doctor, I encourage you to build that support alongside our sessions together.

Frequently asked questions

Can hypnotherapy cure PTSD?

No single approach cures PTSD, and hypnotherapy is not presented here as a cure. It is a supportive technique that some people find helpful alongside professional mental health treatment for managing certain trauma-related responses.

Do I need to already be in therapy to work with you?

Not necessarily, but if you have not yet connected with a licensed mental health professional for PTSD, I strongly encourage doing so. Hypnotherapy sessions are designed to complement that care.

Will I have to talk about the traumatic event in detail?

No. We work at your pace. You are never required to relive or describe details you are not ready to share, and sessions are structured around your comfort throughout.

Are virtual sessions available for PTSD support?

Yes. Sessions are available both in my Fort Lauderdale office and virtually, in English or Spanish, with the same approach either way.
