Thank you for the reply.
you're responses have given me some clarity..
What you've expressed are exactly what my concerns about hypnotherapy are, and why i've been doing the research and reaching out to you for example.
I'm still feeling out if this science is worth me exploring and what place it has, as i dont htink what's been called 'hypnotherapy' is necessarily good or bad as much as how it's used.
I still have a feeling it can be used for comprehension and adjustment; Without the 'pressure' as you put it from an outside source, but instead using the right guidance and questions and the person in a trance's sincerity i do feel offers one the ability to bring light into dark safely.. safely
to bring about the light of consciousness and shed light on the patterns which are hypnotically ruling someone, and allow it to be changed..not by adding any external pressure..but by means of the right questions delicately done
which would then be the undoing of manipulation or it's ability, hopefully...
Giving the right light for one to ask their own questions, and make their own decision and change their own life if they choose.
and merely be a support in them doing so.
i understand your concern with the matter...and trust me, i've had a great deal of it, and that's why i'm asking and looking to gain greater clarity surrounding it..
it's a difficult one to navigate, and the sensitivity and ethics are delicate for sure
do you feel this science could be used in a way that would be dehypnosis?
thank you again
