I don't think I'd ever do it myself, but I have wondered about hypnosis for something like this. I personally know someone who used it to stop smoking. She was repeatedly told how disgusting smoking is, and that she is a non smoker, and it worked for her. The thought of lighting up a cig makes her want to gag. So I wondered if hypnosis could work in the same way with childhood trauma.

On the other hand, some people swear by "reparenting" too, where the T takes over the role of the absent parent and helps the client regain what they never had. My T wouldn't believe in something like this. But I'm open minded enough to think this, too, might work. I think both of these topics would create some pretty strong feelings from some people either for or against.
