I did some hypnotherapy with my first T almost 20 years ago to help me process some of the memories I had from childhood. It deepened my understanding of what happened, but it wasn't intended as memory recovery, and it really wasn't.

My T's version of hypnotherapy was really more akin to guided imagery rather than hypnosis. I don't know if there are different styles, but it sure wasn't the party trick that I've seen hypnosis be.
