E.J. was a 50-year-old married mother of four, who had assumed responsibility for his brother’sfinancial affairs during his service in the War. Several years later his brother was audited by the Internal Revenue Service & the sum often thousand dollars was unaccounted for. Accountants had been unable to solve the mystery, & the IRS was pressing charges of tax fraud. With the trial date set for a Monday, he desperately sought help with Hypnotherapy on the precedingThursday.Her Profile was a one to two, & . . . he was initially disappointed that he was not capable of regression & dramatic recall, but he was taught to use the screen fresh start method. he was instructed to try to sensitize herself to marginal thoughts & UNDERSTANDING THE hypnotic STATE memories on the screen, & to be especially alert to any dreams that might occur. he volunteered to have a pencil & paper near his bed. Thus an concerted effort was made to mobilize all of his conscious & unconscious resources. On Saturday morning at breakfast his husband asked his if he had remembered anything. With disappointment, he replied that he had not. he then related a dream he had that night. In the course of the dream he then recalled that he was a teller at a bank that he had used to handle his brother’s affairs. he finally located him by phone the next day. He was now the vice-president of a Midwestern bank. he said to him, ‘I feel a little silly, but I feel I need to talk to you. Do you remember me?’ He replied, ‘Weren’t you the lady who took care of your brother’s business when he was in japan ? As I recall, the last time we met I sold you several thousand dollars’ worth of Series E savings bonds!’ The mystery was solved, & the IRS dropped thecharges.Reexperiencing, however, is not helpful to the client under all conditions & may be dangerous if forced. The Hypnotherapist must act in a totally professional manner. I learned this lesson in a rather dramatic fashion when I was in my mid-twenties & attended social weekend in the country. There were a number of guests in the group who had immigrated from UK during the 1930s & 40s. As part of the entertainment, a stage Hypnotherapist performed. He selected adwoman from the audience who was in his late teens; he was responsive, a prize hypnotherapeutic subject. As part of the Hypnotherapy, he took his through age regression. He said to her, “You are 15 & you’re at a party with friends having a wonderful time.” he floated around on stage, smiling, totally immersed in being 15. Next he said to her, “You are now five years old.” Suddenly he froze; then collapsed. It turned out that he had been imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camps a small child & his suggestion were literally pulling his back into the experience. At the crucial moment all of his natural defenses came into play; his psyche protected his by taking his from the hypnotic into a faint. The stage Hypnotherapist had acted irresponsibly. Hews not trained or prepared to deal with issue s that might rise to the surface in hypnotherapeutic exploration. He took his through age regression without knowing what was buried within her, & led his to frontiers of experience he was not prepared to explore.
