Trauma, Phobias, and PTSD

Experience Profound Healing with HBLU: Overcoming Trauma, Phobias, and PTSD Effectively

Learn How HBLU Helps

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:


  • 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.

Copyright 2025 Judith A. Swack, Ph.D. Jane was dating two men at once and having trouble deciding who to choose. She listed all of John’s wonderful qualities and all of Steven’s wonderful qualities and remarked, “If I could just put the two of them together I’d have the perfect man.” When asked why she didn’t just date one man who had everything, she said she was keeping one man as a backup because she didn’t feel safe with either one of them. Puzzled, I asked, “Why would you date, let alone marry, anyone you didn’t feel safe with? Clearly, you’ll never marry either of these men.” Jane simply looked astonished. Love is a beautiful thing. We all need to love and be loved. Sadly, many of us have been hurt by the people we love and who are supposed to love us. When that happens, we no longer feel safe, and we shut down the ability to give and receive love. The tragedy is that we can no longer feel loved or experience ourselves as loving beings. We no longer experience the nourishing flow of warm golden buttery energy that uplifts the heart/soul, connects us all, and soothes all pain. And everyone else we could be loving is robbed. According to the dictionary, the word “vulnerable” means open to attack. When someone says, “I’m afraid to be vulnerable” he/she should be afraid to be vulnerable, but he/she should not be afraid to be emotionally open, emotionally present, or emotionally close. Opening to give and receive love should not make one vulnerable. So what to do about it? With HBLU we acknowledge the fear and heal the traumas, dysfunctional family system and cultural brainwashing patterns that caused it. This allows people to reach out with their hearts and share one of the greatest gifts in life. If you or anyone you know would like to open your heart to love, get happily married, or improve your marriage or other relationships, HBLU methodology can help you.

Dear Judith, Of all the work we have done, of all the monumental healings and shifts you and your work has helped to facilitate in my life- this piece was the most hidden, the most perverse, the most subconscious- and was driving my life into oblivion. I could not live one more day enslaving myself to my family, being stuck in a loveless abusive marriage. I was exhausted and stuck begging G-d for a way out (any way out). Until you your work and my soul discovered that we needed to unblock my energy fields from using evil to seduce- by running a pathologically self-serving and self-absorbed seduction pattern. Here I was a slave to my family, doing everything, getting nothing- I was the last person self-serving. How did my soul and you even find this. At first I thought no… Until you pointed out that this is what Enneagram 4s do to get love. And it all clicked. This was the seduction. IF I enslave myself, I will get love- so it was all my agenda my mission- I was “doing everything for them” which was the illusion, the seduction I was under- but it was truly a manipulative pattern I ran to try to get love from everyone I could. Only to fail miserably- and to feel even worse. I felt powerless and stuck. Until you said those words…. And through your work- we prayed- and the seduction and illusion vanished. Poof just like that! I can’t believe this has all been me all this time. I WAS DESPERATE TO GET: Love, safety, approval, success and wealth and WORSHIP AND WORLD DOMINATION What I learned was that I created a pattern of need. Everyone had to need me- I had to do it all- so people would love me. Because deep inside I doubted they could just love me for me. And that I truly don’t have to do anything for love. And neither does anyone… And that I just give it up and teach my family to be self-sufficient so they DON'T NEED me and we can establish love for the sake of love. OR SCREW UP MY WHOLE FAMILY AND LIFE PERPETRATING EVIL BY BEING PATHOLOGICALLY SELFISH. Here are my learnings: I’m just another cog in the wheel and that’s ok. We all are working together. No one better or worse. There is no need to dominate just to do each of our missions. I was seduced into thinking I was so selfless and altruistic because I was working for what I thought “was everyone else’s good” but was really still what I thought- and my agenda I have been self-abusing all this time, putting myself last so I could get sympathy and love. I was acting like a victim and poor me to myself & failing because I got no sympathy gratitude or love… When we interviewed my husband - I sat still. It was the first time I could listen to him and learn. I was still - like air. Without an agenda. And It’s the first time I feel still. And my nervous system relaxed. The first time I’m not working to get something in every action. Today I put my agenda down. It feels so light and relaxing and freeing It’s all been one big undercover operation to get love shrouded in a mission to do for others so no one would ever find me out. That it was all about me. And it didn’t make sense until you said I was pathologically selfish and self-absorbed. Me? No!!!… oh my gosh yes…. And the shell around me shattered. I can relax and just be me for the first time in decades…. You and your work- Judith- I’m just in disbelief- after being in disbelief many times- you’ve changed my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you. You’re a true genius Judith. I can never thank you enough. You are my teacher my mentor and I’m so grateful to have been given you to guide me in this life. I only hope to help your work reach millions. All the Best! C. C. Life Coach

James ’s brother, Samuel , sustained severe traumatic brain injury from a car accident. He spent the year going to many doctors for treatment, but could barely function. Samuel complained that not only did standard medical care not help him, but the doctors ignored and mistreated him. Whenever James suggested any complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, or HBLU, Samuel immediately came up with excuses as to why going for that kind of treatment was impossible. (Notice that he didn’t claim that that kind of treatment wouldn’t work. He just made it impossible to get there.) James said, “Even though I feel really guilty about it, I’ve stopped trying to help him because he makes everything impossible.” Monica ’s 25-year-old son, Ed , suffers from such severe debilitating Crohn’s disease that he couldn’t finish high school, can’t work, can’t leave the house, and can barely leave his room. Traditional medical care and medication is not helping. Monica and her husband bought him a dog thinking that would cheer him up, but Ed does not interact with it. Monica has suggested and made appointments for many complementary therapies such as nutrition, naturopathy, family therapy, and HBLU, but Ed refuses to go to these appointments. Monica experiences guilt and deep sorrow that her son is so ill, and she and her husband haven’t been able to help him. Valerie ’s partner, Nancy , is 200 pounds overweight, suffers from ADD and severe anxiety, and hates her job. Nancy had been on medication for the ADD and anxiety, but when her psychiatrist retired, never attempted to find another provider and let her medication lapse. When Valerie suggested that Nancy find new doctors and get back on medication to help her mental function and treatment for overweight, Nancy refused to make any follow-up phone calls or emails. Although they had gotten engaged in the Spring, by Fall, Valerie had asked for the ring back. Valerie said, “I don’t think I can live with her if she refuses to take care of herself and won’t let me help her.” What do James, Monica, and Valerie all have in common? They feel deep sorrow, guilt, and frustration that they can’t help someone they care about deeply. But the people who are suffering are also trapped in a pattern that continues to cause them suffering. Both the impotent helpers and the perpetual sufferers are trapped in a seducer strategy called, “I’m impossible.” What is a Seduction Pattern? Seduction patterns are some of the most energy draining, perverse, and frustrating patterns a person can experience. People with seduction patterns get tricked into doing things they don’t want to do. They are unable to leave bad relationships, jobs, family, or other upsetting situations.

Fear of Flying

“Before we worked together, I wasn’t just afraid of flying. I was petrified and unable to fly and skeptical that anyone could help, because nothing else had worked for me. (I had previously tried homeopathy and completed the “Fear of Flying” program, sponsored by the airport, to no avail.) Now, after just 3 sessions with you, my phobia is completely gone. I flew to New York, and although it was a turbulent flight, I was more comfortable than my flying companion. I was OK the night before, at the airport, walking down the tunnel to board the plane, on the plane and during the landing. I’m looking forward to my trip to Europe – as is my husband who thanks you as well. ”

Phobias in Pets


“As a graduate of your programs I learned how to use tapping in my job as a nurse helping people tap out anxiety from getting blood drawn and injections due to phobias of needles. Recently my cat became very ill and was on medication for a month and spent overnight in an animal hospital. When he came home, my cat hid from us for two months, one of the months hardly eating. Once we could get him out of hiding I decided to start tapping some of the trauma he had been through from being sick. To my amazement he sat still for a short time and let me tap him. I tapped the head between the eyes and just below his neck and on his chest. Over the course of a week my husband Paul was amazed and kept encouraging me to tap the cat as much as I could. Well now we have a 16 pound lap cat. Since he was a kitten and we tried to trim his claws he would not sit on our laps, so we stopped clipping his claws and left it up to the vet only as needed. Now he sleeps on Pauls chest. He is sitting on my lap sleeping as I do this letter, This may sound crazy but we now have a lap cat after 10 yrs of having the cat. This is a real miracle of how tapping is effective.”

Childhood Fear of Being Alone


“Treated by our associate David Danzig

I want to thank you for all your help with finding a way for (our son) Bryan to deal with his fears of being left alone and being kidnapped. It has made life so much easier for Bryan as well for both his mother and me. I must say that I was somewhat skeptical about the methods that you used, pressing forehead while holding back of head, zipping up and down, 1-2-3 swish, etc. but I cannot deny the results. They have been great, far exceeding what we expected and so immediate.


Bryan had been visiting a therapist for his fear of being left alone for a number of months prior to seeing the TV news report about Judith’s methods for dealing with phobias. Bryan was not making any progress until his first session with you. My wife commented to me afterward that Bryan really opened up to you and spoke very freely about his fears and seemed very comfortable.


Bryan can now stay at home and baby-sit his younger sister and let his Mom and Dad go out for a while or I do not have to rush home from work to watch the kids so that my wife can go to school. At the mall, he no longer has the fear of being kidnapped, which allows him to go into his favorite store on his own.


I was most fascinated with your techniques and finding the acceptable boundaries to relieve Bryan of his allergies to both cats and pollen. He has played with the cat at his friend’s house over the past couple of weeks with no apparent effects. In the past, he would keep well away because he would get all stuffed up and start sneezing and be miserable for hours afterwards.


I thank you, Bryan thanks you, my wife thanks you, and Bryan’s sister thanks you. Keep up the good work.”
