When your memory goes - Forget it!
Stephen Lankton · 5/10/98 at 8:34 PM ET
Memory is very malleable. Hypnosis is not a tool for seeking TRUTH, it is a
tool to facilitate healing by retrieving and associating recourse. Having
seen Erickson take great care to achieve a "clean" regression to childhood
that took him nearly an hour, I have great doubts about the claims of those
lesser skilled and lesser experienced hypnotists who tell of achieving a
regression before birth in a few minutes or moments. It is probably best to
assume that the deflection of a person's attention to such a
memory-confabulated metaphoric fairy tale only postpones the speedy recovery
of the resources needed to properly grow and mature in the real world.
