From Dungeon to Daylight: Healing a Brain Injury with NLP & Hypnosis with Matt Johnson

Matt Johnson shares his extraordinary recovery from a severe brain injury that left him light- and sound-sensitive and trapped in a dark, solitary room. Frustrated by limited medical answers, he became an obsessive researcher and combined Western neurology with alternative healing—Reiki, pranic healing, qigong—then trained in hypnosis and NLP. He discovered PTSD had been keeping his brain in fight-or-flight, blocking healing. By learning how to change his focus, bodily state, and subconscious programming, Matt rebuilt his life. He now helps others—soldiers, survivors of abuse, and people with chronic triggers—using protocols that blend neuroscience, practical skills, and gentle energy work.
