Tanya, it sounds to me that you fiance doesn't trust you, or the T. Why would he want to be there? That doesn't sound right, nor "fair" to me Your T and you will decide what area of discovery you wish to follow. Hypnosis is NOT like a lie detector test with the T asking such personal questions expecting direct replies. If your T is skilled, he will put you at ease ahead of time with understanding your purpose for trying this therapy,and will remain within those parameters. Your fiance won't be able to interrupt with, Ask her if...

I wouldn't worry about lying while under hypnosis, nor about not giving an answer nor about the possibility of waking yourself up from an imposing question. (Which is not automatically the default reaction.) This is part of why your finance doesn't need to be there. A non answer can mean many things, one being the question wasn't posed in the correct format. If your fiance would go off on something he didn't understand, then he's too jealous and controlling. (I hope he isn't.) Ignoring a question is easy under hypnosis. You don't have to say or do anything you don't want to, and wouldn't IRL. IF you choose to want to wake at that time, you can express that desire. It's up to you.

Hypnosis does not delve into all the secrets and unanswered questions in your life. You can use it to reveals aspects of your life that you wish to look at... often once your brain has processed something traumatic, it can also process other events in the same vein without you having to review them first.

IMO hypnosis is best used to help you be ABLE to process traits or memories in the future. For example, to help, through post hypnotic suggestion, to be calmer when...in a situation you are anxious normally. It can be used to help you learn and remember how to do something, such as not block the T's normal assistance in session. I also use it to help me begin to sleep, and for pain management. To think of it as a cure-all for memory processing isn't being fair to you, and the natural process of working through your problems and learning coping skills. TC
