In this video, I want to talk about trunk level healing — the second stage in the Healing Tree model.
If the roots are where we process raw emotional material from trauma, the trunk is where we bring in our adult self — our psychological understanding, our life wisdom, and tools like hypnotherapy.
Most trauma happens in childhood, when we don’t have the brain development to process it properly. Those experiences go straight into the subconscious — and often leave us stuck in confusion or self-blame.
Trunk level healing is about helping those younger parts understand the truth: it wasn’t your fault. That pain was never about you.
We use modern psychology and deeper modalities like hypnotherapy to bring that awareness down into the body — to reach the parts that need it most.
Next time, we’ll head up into the branches.
