Sure Rick, you can ask....I am scared because there is a lot of my past that I don't remember and I am afraid of WHAT I might remember. What I DO remember was absolutely horrible and I have so much anxiety about it that it is already life consuming. I just don't want to remember anything worse than what I already do.
The other thing is that I might feel vulnerable and out of control....I have to be in control of EVERYTHING and if I am not then I don't deal very well. For an example I have DID, but if any of my alters try to come out to the front I prohibit it because I have to know what is going on all the time.
There were many times in my past where I would "black out" and the fears of what I may have done or said terrify me today.
I hope that helps you to see why it scares me so much. It may be that I am just ignorant to hypnotherapy. I admit there is not a lot I know about it, but from what I hear....some people get things planted in their minds..is that true? Has that happened?
IDK, You can school me on the truths

...I am willing to listen if you are willing to share.
