June is PTSD Awareness Month.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) affects millions of individuals and families, impacting emotional, physical, and psychological well-being. Increasing awareness helps reduce stigma and encourages those affected to seek support and treatment.

Clinical hypnosis, when provided by trained healthcare professionals as part of a comprehensive treatment approach, may help individuals manage stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and other symptoms associated with trauma.

This month, ASCH recognizes the importance of trauma-informed care and remains committed to advancing education, research, and ethical clinical hypnosis practices that support healing and resilience.
