How to Transform Past Traumas Safely, Effectively and Permanently

More and more people are seeking help with addressing past trauma.
Are you, your family, friends or colleagues experiencing any of these symptoms of trauma:
- difficulty sleeping, falling asleep or waking during the night?
- emotional eating, loss of appetite or have other unwanted habits?
- difficulty concentrating and focusing on tasks at hand?
- lack of trust in people?
- withdrawn from people and life or have difficulty forming or deepening relationships?
- feeling anxious, afraid, unsafe, betrayed, resentful, angry or hurt?
- walking on egg shells or are always on high alert around people and in situations?
- lacking or lost motivation and confidence?
- being re-traumatised by the thought or mention of the traumatic event or by current life events?
The Significance of Trauma
We experience a range of events in life. How we respond to these events will determine how they affect us today and into the future. While we are unable to change those past events, we can change how we think and feel about them as we reflect on them.
Some past events we responded to with positive emotions (e.g. joy, excitement), others with negative emotions (e.g. fear, hurt), and some with a combination of emotions. Some past events were emotionally insignificant e.g. feeling a bit annoyed in traffic. Other past events were significant emotionally e.g. feeling traumatised by abusive people, loss of a job, separation, divorce, major illness, loss of a loved one, loss of freedom, etc. Significant emotional events can occur in relationships, families, at work, in our health, finances, and in society.
An event may have little impact on one person, yet cause severe distress in another. Traumatic events are those which are life threatening or which pose a significant threat to a person’s physical or psychological wellbeing. Many people have strong emotional or physical reactions following a traumatic event. For some, these reactions subside over a few days or weeks. For others, the symptoms may last longer and be more severe.
Significant emotional events can have us feel traumatised, and can also affect our health, concentration, sleep and our relationships with other people. If past traumatic events are left unaddressed, people can be re-traumatised by the thought or mention of the traumatic event, or by current and future events. Their prior trauma can often be exacerbated by speaking about those past events or by current events. This is why people with past traumas have generally found the past several years in Australia and the world more challenging than other people.
Traditional Approach
With more traditional trauma therapy techniques it can take years to help people recover, and move on from trauma. It often involves them re-experiencing the trauma, and being re-triggered as they talk about the traumatic events. Any time you discuss, work with or recall memories or events of trauma, there is an inherent risk of re-traumatising the person and/or re-associating them into the traumatic emotions. For some people, the mere mention of past traumatic events can re-traumatise them.
Back in 1932, psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi, admitted to his colleagues at the 12th International Psychoanalytical Congress in Wiesbaden “that psychoanalysis could be retraumatising”. In 1997, Onno van der Hart and Kathy Steele in their paper “Relieving or Reliving Childhood Trauma?” state that “directly addressing traumatic memories is not always helpful and can sometimes be damaging to our clients”. In addition, the more detail the client goes into regarding traumatic events, the greater the risk of hyperarousal of their nervous system, and them being re-traumatised.
A Faster, Safer Quantum Approach
For over 25 years, we have helped thousands of people to deal with their past traumas safely, effectively and permanently. We have used a faster, safer quantum approach to transform traumas with the discovery and development of a new filter/deep unconscious driver of behaviour, Qt respect i®, and associated Qt respect i® techniques, as part of my PhD. This has transformed the speed of lasting change, with each deep core unconscious issue being permanently addressed in 5 minutes.
This means that clients can now overcome disempowering people dynamics, past complex traumas, complex grief, toxic and abusive relationships, PTSD, FV/DV, shock, and much more, without the client being triggered. This is because we never work with memories or talk about their past. These techniques quickly, safely, permanently and elegantly disentangle clients from a disempowering relationship dynamic… so that they can live happier and more successful lives sooner!
Qt stands for Quantum Transformations and that is what we do – we create fast and permanent quantum transformation from past complex traumas, complex grief, toxic or abusive relationships, DV/FV and much more. We use our proven multi award-winning quantum approach that works on the deepest core of who you are – on a mind-body-soul level simultaneously. Importantly, the client never needs to talk about or work with past memories in order to address the trauma.
Our quantum techniques are unique to us, and treat the traumatised mind-body-soul simultaneously. Most traditional therapies only treat the traumatised mind. Some therapies only treat the traumatised body, others only the traumatised soul. In contrast, Qt respect i® techniques treat the whole person simultaneously. Specifically, Qt respect i® techniques:
- address the one key issue that will permanently stop trauma in 5 minutes
- permanently stop the retriggering of trauma/PTSD with our unique 5 minute technique. Retriggering usually occurs for years after the trauma event, and clients are unaware of these triggers until after they occur. As the triggers can be totally unconscious, varied and without any patterns, these either require years of therapy to identify and consciously manage as they occur, or repeated sessions (of traditional or non-traditional therapies and techniques) to deal with the triggers after they occur. Instead, we stop this permanently from happening in the first place so that people can live fulfilling and successful lives.
Rather than taking years or months to address past traumas, we assist clients to fully transform past traumas in a number of hours. This helps clients to save money and time, while eliminating the stress of reliving the past. With this faster and long-term quantum approach, clients enjoy having the relationships, career, health and life they desire much sooner.
In addition to my qualifications, training, research and working with thousands of clients, I also deeply understand the trauma clients experience. I have lived experience of many significant traumas, including complex trauma, PTSD, complex grief, FV, toxic and abusive personal and professional relationships, and more. Having quickly and permanently addressed these many years ago, I have since thrived both personally and professionally. I am honoured to serve clients on their transformation journey.
How Our Clients Have Quickly Transformed Trauma
Below are a few examples of how our clients have quickly and permanently transformed trauma:
“Before Qt I was struggling with severe anxiety, from as long as I can remember my mind has always thought the worst in everyday situations – even driving in a car was a struggle. Qt has changed my way of thinking, my negative voices have been silenced.
I think being the best version of yourself will improve relationships. For me, my anxiety was not only destroying me but my relationships. I now have so much more to give now my mind is clearer and free from negative thinking. What I now enjoy the most is not being defined by my past and feeling alive and in control.
Qt was the best decision I have ever made. To be honest, I nearly didn’t go to my first appointment as my mind was telling me there is no point. My life has taken a new direction, I have been held back all these years because of the way I thought. I never would have been able to make the changes in my thought process on my own without the help and encouragement from Dr Vesna. I have tried many different types of therapy over the last 7 years but finally I have been able to overcome my anxiety. I was only able to do this because I committed to it and with the support of Dr Vesna who helped guide me to a better quality of life.”
Marilyn – Engineering Industry
“I came to see Dr Vesna after a pattern of emotional and verbal abuse by people both personally and professionally, which left me feeling traumatized and unsafe around people. Nightmares, terror and anxiety were the order of the day for me, every day. This left me feeling drained of energy and life. I stopped going out and interacting with people and this affected my job and relationships. I could not bring myself to be around people without being jumpy and on edge all the time.
The last straw came and I had enough, I had to do something to change this. Dr Vesna was amazingly compassionate, I felt so at ease and safe around her. My transformation was incredible – so quick, safe and permanent. I did not even have to bring up the past, talk about my trauma or work with any memories. Nothing I had done before had worked, and I have done so much before.
I still remember the huge change after using the Qt techniques in a session with Dr Vesna – one moment I was so on edge and anxious (someone had just abused me earlier that day), then next moment I am so calm. A total 360 degree change within minutes. I have never felt this inner calm before, it was so quick and I am still feeling the inner calm over a year later. These techniques are amazing and I am so thankful I found them. My life is now full of loving and appreciate people, I have a great new job and partner, and I have an active social life that I love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
Rachel – Health Industry
“I am amazed at how fast these techniques work. After years of abuse and trauma, I finally feel calm and at peace. It has now been almost three years and not once have I been retriggered! No other therapy has been able to have this long term effect. So blessed to have met Dr Grubacevic. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
