Everyone has to make their own choices of if hypnosis is right for them For me I think its right.

As for making up false memories - I personally don't see the point of making memories up. When people lie they do so for attention and or anger or to get themselves out of trouble.

For me telling the truth is what stopped my abuse, telling the truth is what saved some other family members from those abusers and it stopped some others from continuing some of their abusive behaviors and telling the truth is what has helped those that I spoke for and with during my public days.

My abusers are dead and can't hurt me so the information isnt going to be used to get me out of trouble with them or prevent me from getting hurt by them..

My abusers are dead so the information gathered by my using hpynosis isnt going to be used out of anger against them or for prosecution.

My abusers are dead so there is no fear that he can hurt anyone else so there is no reason for me to tell anyone outside of therapy sessions the information.

I am not the type of person to do things for attention, instead I like to do things and figure out things on my own. 98% of my therapy program is on my own. I was working on this on my own for months before I told my past therapist and 2 years on my own before I told my present therapist. A person who wants attention lets people know whats going on otherwise how do they get the attention they want. Im not out for attention from on this.

And it doesn't make sense to me to make up painful memories. the memories I gather are just for me, not for attention, not to tell other people, not to get revenge on someone, not to get me out of trouble so whats the point to creating a painful memory that is of no use and giving me blinding pain, headaches, panic attachs, flashbacks and nightmares that I don't discuss with anyone and dont let stop me fron my day to day living and funtioning - I still through it all get out in the community, do volunteer work, write my books, activities like biking when I experience the problems associated with this nightmare I am trying to get to the bottom of, when I can daydream something relaxing like floating in my mental safe place for relaxation and going to sleep.

Sorry I just don't see the point of creating painful upsetting memories for nothing, and recieving no benefit - attention, revenge and so on from doing so.

My therapist is also the kind of therapist who does not put up with people saying and doing things just for the attention. She's bold and mouthy and says things the way they are. She knows I do not create problems and memories for the attention. In fact most of our sessions are just touch base to make sure I'm still on track kind of sessions. Not saying she hasn't pushed those thought provoking questions because she does get me thinking but because of my working on my own so much most of my therapy type problems end up being discussed in sessions after the fact that they have happened and after I solved them so its just touch base of this happened, this is what I did and sometimes she has some input and then its off to another topic that she needed to check in woth me about. So both my therapist and I know that whatever information I gather by using relaxation techniques is going to be put to use of my setting up my own program of coping skills for myself so that I no longer have this nightmare about the situation that caused it. So there is no reason for me to make up a memory - its for my own personal information not others and not going to be used for anything but helping me to understand and no longer have this nightmare - no attention or revenge or help someone else with disclosure of it involved just me for me and no one else.

My doing this isn't going to cause me or anyone else harm instead my doing this is going to help me so for me its the right thing to do and my therapists - past and present agree otherwise they would not be doing it with me. I am also confident that no matter what memory comes up while doing this my therapist is capable of doing this otherwise I wouldn't have told her I was setting this in motion now. For me its the right choice.
