Hypnotherapy: PTSD from pandemic and kidnappings in Africa

I had a session regarding several traumatic events in Africa. 

In many of them, I had combined feelings of feelings of danger, and of not being protected by those in authority, silenced, and not able to flee (trapped). I felt that I was not able to speak about the danger I was in, and my attempts to make myself safer were blocked or ignored. 

I saw, however, that I did do my best. At crucial moments, I acted, even when others did not understand or agree with my actions. These decisions often kept us safe. 

Also, in a flash Jesus showed me how he had protected me time and again. 

The two key themes came back to me forcefully:

I am competent, and

God is always coming to save me. 

Then, Jesus said, “And I am with you in this conflict as well. So write that letter, and present it to me.”

I could see myself writing a letter of divorce to my parents, and spreading it out before the Lord, like Hezekuah in the temple. It was like a sacred act.

I knew what I would be able to withstand their worst, and that God will save me too. 

I know that it is His will for me to do this. It is the right thing to separate from evil people. For myself, for my children, for the church, for the world. 

But mostly for myself. 

It is the right thing to do, and God is in this. Amen.
