Healing Traumas, Phobias & Stress

Judith A. Swack • January 8, 2024

Whether it’s caused by loss, violence, physical injury, or illness, trauma is the most common difficulty people encounter in their lives. Traumatic shock occurs when something frightening happens that triggers the body’s fight or flight reflex. The memory of this reaction remains frozen in the body as unprocessed physical or emotional pain.


Anything that was in the environment at that time can later trigger the original memory resulting in:

Traumatic shock occurs when something frightening happens that triggers the body’s fight or flight reflex. The memory of this reaction remains frozen in the body as unprocessed physical or emotional pain.


Anything that was in the environment at that time can later trigger the original memory resulting in :

  • physical symptoms such as pain, headaches, digestive problems, weakened immune system and other health disorders or
  • emotional symptoms such as phobias or other irrational, exaggerated reactions that affect career success, relationships, and other goals.


Continued stress from trauma can lead to burnout!


Because phobic reactions are stored in the body, they cannot be healed using conscious or unconscious mind techniques. They must be released directly from the body (which is why talking or hypnotherapy alone is often ineffective or incomplete). This is also why physical treatment for injuries may be only partially successful in alleviating symptoms and regaining full function. Unless the shock imprint is cleared from the body, the problem may last for years.


Fortunately, the HBLU™ protocol for clearing trauma typically results in immediate and lasting elimination of both emotional and physical symptoms.
