That simplistic assessment is not true to reality.
IT DEPENDS TONS ON HOW THE SESSION IS MANAGED.
—HOW DOES THE SEQUENCE OF OPEN-ENDED, NON-DIRECTIVE QUESTIONS GO.
ARE WORDS CHOSEN CLEARLY NEUTRAL ETC. ETC. ETC.
Evidently you failed to notice that the psychiatrist working with the Hills was, if anything, hostile to the UFO explanation.
IF HE WOULD HAVE LED AT ALL, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM what they were describing.
Try again. You’re wrong about the quality therapists using sound techniques.
Those of us who have studied the topic a long time do not give any credence to the charlatans, anyway.
Certainly there have been horror stories using hypnosis poorly, even unethically.
That’s NOT the case with the vast majority of UFO cases with qualified professional practitioners.
Shoot even Bud Hopkins how HAS HAD TRAINING IN HYPNOSIS, has learned to do a credible, honorable, non-leading job of it.
That’s NOT the case with the vast majority of UFO cases with qualified professional practitioner

Reading back through your comments to me it appears to me that the only place we part company on hypnosis is that you actually believe in “recovered memories”, and believe that the “vast majority” of UFO cases using “recovered memories” to be true.
It is mine and about 99.9% of Psychiatrists opinion that “recovered memories” have no basis in reality whatsoever, are totally improper and unreliable in a clinical application. Which is why it has been left to charlatans practicing past life regression, telling people their parents killed babies in Satanic rituals every Saturday night and UFO support groups who tell stories of being abducted, anally probed and forced to copulate with aliens.
It seems my information on hypnosis and it’s proper uses is clear and accurate, and my only “wrong” information is that I do not believe in “recovered memories” of childhood abuse, Satanic Rituals, and UFO abductions.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
