Mahyar Zaud

Hello and welcome to Hypnosis for Trauma.

I'm Mahyar, a registered psychotherapist and hypnotherapist practicing in Toronto, Canada. My interest in hypnosis and psychology began at a young age, leading me to become a trained hypnotist at 17. Subsequently, I pursued higher education in psychology in the UK and underwent training in psychoanalytical psychotherapy and hypnotherapy.

After a few years in practice as an analytical psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, I started collaborating with charities focused on individuals with trauma and PTSD experiences. This experience deepened my understanding of trauma's profound impact not only on individuals but also on society and future generations. Motivated by this insight, I dedicated myself to further education in trauma, accumulating over fourteen years of direct experience.

My work spans diverse backgrounds, encompassing men and women who have faced sexual abuse, domestic violence, neglect, loss, displacement, separation, bullying, torture, extreme poverty, political imprisonment, and frontline workers such as police officers, prison guards, nurses, doctors, journalists, and human rights activists.

Throughout these years, I observed the effectiveness of hypnosis in helping clients manage symptoms and recover from trauma's effects, a sentiment validated by recent research and studies. Psychoanalysis has consistently played a pivotal role in comprehending the mind and its unconscious processes more profoundly. Therefore, I integrate psychoanalytical psychotherapy with hypnotherapy to enhance my understanding of clients and optimize the hypnotherapy process. Additionally, I incorporate EMDR, Breathwork, and Somatic approaches to offer clients better results and a more insightful therapeutic experience.
