If it's ok to ask, why have you and T been doing trance work? Does the therapist think there is something you aren't remembering or too hard to deal with without being in a trance state?
Sorry I couldn't help more.

Thanks for your reply. Its a good point about defence mechanism being there for a reason. Donīt think a have been abused in a serious way anyway. Think she uses trance to bring back childhood memories,so she can " repair" and be "the healthy parent". Never quite worked for me though. I do remember my childhood and the trance never seemed to worked as I never really got the point of it until reasonly.
