Recently, I was approached by an individual who told me he needed
help with some problems resulting from childhood ET abduction/contact experiences,
but he didn’t want to see a therapist because he was afraid of hypnosis. I reassured him that (1) hypnosis is not
dangerous, and (2) even though hypnosis is sometimes used by Experiencer therapists,
it isn’t the only tool therapists have to help him. Even when hypnosis is used, it is nearly always supplemented with other things.
Although it has been accepted by
the worldwide medical community for over 50 years as a safe and effective
therapeutic technique, many people still fear hypnosis because of the way it has
been falsely portrayed in popular culture - as a mysterious method of mind
control that can strip a person of free will and transform them into a mindless
robot. Actually, hypnosis is a natural
function of the human mind which we all frequently experience and is nothing to
fear. Daydreaming, getting lost in the moment
or caught up in an engrossing book or movie are examples of natural hypnotic
states. The only difference between those
natural experiences and hypnotherapy is that in a therapy session, the hypnotic
state is induced by the therapist, with the subject’s consent, and directed to
help achieve the subject’s goals.
At the same time, while hypnosis can be very effective in recovering repressed memories from ET events, like all therapeutic techniques, it isn’t right for everyone. There are certain medical and psychological conditions that prevent an individual from being hypnotized. In addition, it has been estimated that only about 15% of the general public are easily hypnotizable, which means the remaining 85% have difficulty attaining and maintaining a hypnotic trance. The investment of time and money for multiple sessions may be prohibitive for some individuals.
Other Tools –
The good news is that a competent Experiencer therapist has
other tools, in addition to hypnosis. If you aren’t comfortable with hypnosis, there are options so don’t let a fear of hypnosis keep you from
getting the help you want and need.
