Should I Get Therapy for my ET Experiences?


           Experiencers are individuals who have been abducted or had first-hand contact with extraterrestrial (ET) or inter-dimensional beings, aliens or UFOs.  This contact may manifest in various ways, including physical abduction and psychic contact, only once or repeatedly over the course of lifetimes.  Some Experiencers have conscious memories of these events and respond with joy and a feeling of privilege or blessing, even eagerly anticipating the next experience.  However, many react with fear, dread or confusion and find themselves alone and doubting their own sanity.  In most cases, there is no conscious memory or, at best, vague partial recollections or recurring dreams of something that they don’t understand that fill them with dread and confusion. 

     As a hypnotherapist, many Experiencers ask me if they should have hypnotherapy to recover memories or deal with the memories they already have of what has happened to them.  I always say the same thing - "Well, that depends."  And then next I ask them a question: "Are memories of your experience causing problems for you?"  If the answer is No, then I tell them to save their money or spend it on something other than therapy.  If the answer is Yes, then we need to talk further and maybe try hypnotherapy.

     Hypnotherapy can help to lessen chronic anxiety caused by dreams and intrusive thoughts that often follow ET experiences and can enable Experiencers to gain new insight into years of possible misunderstood or unexplained behavior rooted in their ET experiences.  Troublesome issues such as fears/phobias and obsessive-compulsive behaviors that stem from ET contact often decrease or disappear completely when the experience is carefully and competently explored and reconciled.  Many Experiencers report that after hypnotherapy, they are finally able to sleep normally and go about their daily lives without the disturbing half-memories and nightmares that had plagued them.  In addition, they often find they are more confident in many areas of their lives.  Hypnotherapy can bring abduction or contact memories into normal recall, where the Experiencer can ultimately come to terms with them.  Coming to terms with any issue is the first step in overcoming it.  Research has shown that people who have chosen to explore their ET experiences with hypnotherapy are almost always satisfied with their decision.  Then again, if you aren't having any problems as a result of your ET experiences, there's no need to get help.  The old saw "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies here.

     However, if you are an Experiencer, or think you may be, and if you are considering hypnotherapy, you should look carefully at a few facts before going ahead with your exploration. 

     1.   Know that the decision to pursue these experiences and memories will be one of the most important that you ever make.  If you learn that you are an Experiencer and come to understand the ramifications, there will be no turning back.  Your life will never be the same.  This can be positive or negative, but whichever it is, it will be a turning point in your life.  Are you ready for that?

      2.   Another consideration is the timing.  Are there things going on in your life – family or work problems, health issues, etc. – that might make you more vulnerable at this particular time?  Exploration of abduction/contact memories can be traumatic, and problems or instability in your life may not provide a stable foundation.  Such an exploration can also be time-consuming and expensive – both valid considerations.  Remember that repressed experiences or memories will always be there, so unless they are especially problematic, you may want to wait until a more stable period in your life before investigating them. 

     3.   Realize that memories sometimes do not reflect reality and you should always strive to retain a healthy skepticism of them.  The human mind is very complex and memory can be undependable.  People sometimes remember events incorrectly, create imaginary scenarios (consciously or unconsciously) and remember things that didn’t happen to them.  This is especially true with memories of abduction/contact events.  ETs appear to be adept at mental and neurological manipulation, thereby causing a person to see things that aren’t there or to see things differently from what they are.  It is important to seek the help of a well-trained, experienced and ethical therapist who can help you recover valid memories and assist you in navigating through them. 

     4.   Freshly recalled abduction events can cause unexpected revelations that may bring up other issues.  Such revelations can also alter relationships with your family and friends, who might question your sanity.  While many Experiencers get support from their family and friends, they are in the minority.  Are you prepared for the possibility of having to make this journey without the support and understanding of your loved ones?

      5.   If you are comfortable sharing your memories and experiences with others and open to the ideas of others, you might consider participating in an Experiencer support group rather than private therapy.  Such groups can be helpful in recalling and working through abduction/contact experiences on a light level and are less expensive than private therapy.  However, they are not as effective as private therapy and you won’t get the individual guidance and personal support you may need.

      Despite these concerns, many Experiencers report that they wouldn’t trade anything for what they discovered when the veil was lifted from their repressed abduction/contact memories.  Many have come to a new understanding of themselves and found a fresh point of view on their lives and the universe as a whole.  But remember that any exploration of repressed memories can lead to both positive and negative developments.  Such a decision should be your choice, based on careful consideration of all the pros and cons.  Don’t let anyone influence you to go forward if you aren’t ready.  And if you do decide to make that journey, be sure to choose a qualified, competent and ethical hypnotherapist to be your helper and guide.
