We often focus on trauma as the root issue?but what if it?s not the trauma itself that keeps clients stuck, but who they became in order to survive it? In this presentation, John Scanlon explores how trauma reshapes identity at every level?beliefs, values, behaviours, and even physical symptoms. Drawing on his work with trauma, including early childhood and the physical impacts of trauma, such as Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), John will demonstrate how identity can become a prison built out of protective parts, and how hypnosis offers a path to safely dismantle it. You?ll learn how to identify identity-level blocks, how to work with the nervous system?s loyalty to old roles, and how to guide clients into a state of reconnection?not just to safety, but to a sense of self they have always been.
