“more receptive to hypnosis”
Hypnosis can be dangerous as if the autism is a protection mechanism and you open pandora’s box of suppressed emotion with hypnosis, you can cause a psychotic break.
What would you say if a person went to counseling session and the therapist had them do an exercise where they envision themselves as a child and visualize giving to their inner child the love and comforting words they need, and the patient ends up getting very emotional but was never able to find just what it is from their childhood that has made them a “haunted” person much of their lives? What kind of trauma would it most likely be, small insidious little things, one major event from before the age of memory retention, or just not getting the kind of love and bond they needed from the primary caregiver during the early formative years?
