Mandy,

It's interesting that you said that. When I first dealt with abuse issues 16 years ago I use to disassociate all the time and it wasn't intentional.

When I began hynotherapy about a month ago, the first time he performed the hypnosis I took to it very well. You do not go unconscious, and you are aware of everything happening. What was odd was when he "brought me back" he asked how it felt and what I thought it was like.

My answer was that it reminded me of disassociating - he asked if that was good or bad and it was really good. It was like the good part of disassociating. I wanted to do it, I had control over it, so it was an extremely relaxing and peaceful experience.

Tranquility
