I gather you’d also prefer to rob beleagured folks of relief from their traumas with such phenomena just because it didn’t fit your constructions on reality?
I’d prefer they see a qualified psychiatrist. Hypnotherapy is nothing more than modern day voodoo and found to be totally unreliable.
Anyone practicing or defending hypnotherapy as a legitimate form of treatment is out of their freaking mind.
The Hill’s were abducted alright, by a “hypnotherapist”. It doesn’t matter if the hypnotherapist “leads” or not, people under hypnotherapy pull stories from their fantasy life, their readings, movies they’ve watched, etc.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help people with weight loss, stopping smoking, athletic performance, etc. without all the dangers and unreliability of hypnosis. There is no need for hypnosis.
Hypnotherapy has been consigned to the dustbin of quackery and is now mainly the realm of New Age “therapists”, past life regression “therapists”, and other charlatans and profiteers.
Let me guess. You bought your “PhD in Clinical Psychology” here:
