Trauma Therapy & PTSD Recovery | Gold Coast & Online
Resolve personal & generational trauma at the root in 1-4 sessions - without re-telling your painful story.
I am an ex war veteran and had suffered symptoms of PTSD, panic attacks, flash-backs, depression, anger outbursts for over 20 years. I was looking for a better way of dealing with this. I found Yildiz and was sceptical at first but even after one session had a major change in my inner distress and symptoms. I have 5 sessions in all and am now symptom free. Such a relief for me and my family. I can't recommend this enough.
What Makes Us Different
- Works with the 95% subconscious mind (where trauma is trapped).
- No retelling or unpacking stories (prevents retraumatisation).
- Fast, bottom-up somatic discharge.
- All our sessions use Brief Therapy. If you would like to learn more, please read:
About Brief Therapy
The Types of Trauma we support
In my practice of over twenty four years so far, my clients have shown me that there are at least three types of trauma that require processing.
These are:
Personal Trauma
Personal trauma can arise from difficult or harmful experiences in everyday life, including bullying, alienation, racism, emotional, psychological or physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, and experiences of war or conflict. These experiences can leave lasting emotional and physical patterns that continue to affect wellbeing, relationships and daily life.
Relational Trauma
Relational trauma can develop during our childhood and formative years when important relationships lack safety, secure attachment, emotional connection or healthy bonding. Experiences such as neglect, rejection, inconsistent caregiving or disrupted relationships can shape how we relate to ourselves and others throughout life.
Generational Trauma
Generational trauma refers to unresolved trauma and disturbances that can be passed down through family lines. Using specialised Systemic Family Constellations, this approach helps uncover and address unconscious burdens, implicit loyalties and inherited patterns that may continue to affect individuals and families across generations.
The Steps to Recovery Process
Step 1: Before we start the Main sessions - there is a 30-Minute Suitability & Consultancy Session - to define your goals and expectations, confirm fit, and outline the number of sessions you might require (hardly ever more than 4). You can then decide on the package you would like to book (or not).
Step 2: What happens in each 60-80 minute main session:
Accessing Subconscious Implicit Memory:
Using Emotional Mind Integration, we bypass endless cognitive storytelling and locate the exact neural state where the original trauma charge is stored.Clearing Personal & Generational Roots:
We integrate Systemic Family Constellations to resolve inherited burdens, parental dynamics, and unconscious family loyalties alongside personal trauma.Somatic Nervous System Integration:
We discharge the survival response (fight/flight/freeze) so your nervous system registers that the past event is over, returning you to emotional stability.
Step 3: After main sessions are completed there is a 30-Minute Consolidation session. This is included in the price of each package. We review and consolidate the work and make sure your issue has been dealt with and check that there are no residual effects or that something that had been repressed has now surfaced.
Note: This short-term processing model is tailored for rapid root-cause resolution and is not suitable for complex psychiatric conditions such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, DID, or BPD.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Treatment
How can complex trauma be resolved in just 1–5 sessions?
Rapid Core Healing is designed to work with the deeper emotional and subconscious patterns associated with trauma, rather than focusing primarily on extended discussion of the past.
By accessing implicit emotional and somatic responses, the process aims to identify and work with the underlying patterns contributing to current symptoms. This can allow significant therapeutic processing to occur within a small number of focused sessions.
Will I have to retell my traumatic story in detail?
No. You are not required to repeatedly describe or relive painful experiences in detail.
Rapid Core Healing focuses on the emotional and somatic responses your system is experiencing today, rather than requiring you to continually revisit the traumatic story. This approach is designed to minimise unnecessary re-exposure to distressing memories while working with the underlying patterns.
What is the difference between personal and generational trauma?
Personal trauma relates to experiences that happened directly to you during your lifetime.
Generational trauma refers to emotional patterns, beliefs, fears or unresolved family experiences that may influence subsequent generations through family relationships, learned patterns and, potentially, biological mechanisms such as epigenetic processes.
Rapid Core Healing can explore both personal and family-system patterns where they appear relevant to the difficulties you are experiencing today.
What does research say about brief therapy?
Research on Trauma Treatment includes established approaches such as trauma-focused CBT and EMDR. Evidence and treatment outcomes vary between individuals. Rapid Core Healing is a structured approach offered by this practice; during the preparation session, we discuss whether it is appropriate for your circumstances.
Read that research conclusively proves that the brain and body can heal from trauma, primarily driven by neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself and form new neural connections. Look at The Truitt Institute
I developed PTSD after being bullied and intimidated in a work situation, to the point where I was forced to leave. I have tried CBT and several other therapies, but found relief with Yildiz and Rapid Core Healing in only a few sessions.
What Others Say About Trauma Recovery with Yildiz
I was involved in a serious car accident where I was trapped for several hours and lost my partner. The flashbacks were very disturbing. The sessions I had with Yildiz were so relieving in helping me put it behind me.
