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:


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.

Swack, Ph.D. At the recent ACEP conference (May 2013) I ran into Jane, a woman who had attended my presentation at the Energy Psychology conference the previous October. There I had demonstrated an energy transmission technique that I called “The Look” in which someone remembers a traumatic emotion, locates that feeling in his/her body, and I look at it. About 10 seconds later, the feeling dissolves. At the end of that session, I transmitted that ability to anyone who wished to receive it.

Although John’s father and several other relatives had diabetes, John refused to believe he might really have a problem. Although his doctor had encouraged him to modify his diet and lose weight, John continued to eat whatever he wanted, not exercise, and stay fat. Now at age 52, his fasting blood sugar was 150 (normal is 70-99). When I asked him if he knew that he had diabetes, he told me that there was controversy over whether or not fasting blood glucose was a legitimate test for diabetes, and the medical establishment was now considering the A1C measurement as more accurate. So John got an A1C test, which also showed he was diabetic.

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.
