I have long suffered from MH issues, largely owing to my awful, awful mother and traumatic childhood. Yesterday I had a session with a wonderful counsellor, who hypnotised me. I have completely lost my memory of the 4 hours of driving there, the session, and the return home. I had a strange night, slept deeply but I was conscious of lots of battles going on in my head. I could not remember what day it was and what was going on. I also woke feeling as if I had run a marathon. My DH phoned her last night as he was worried about the fact that I didn't know where I was, where I'd been, where my bedroom was...she called me this morning and told me that I has shared some truly terrible things about my abusive mother and other things and that the memory loss, though unusually profound, was not unusual in itself. Please can anyone share their experiences of hypnotism, whether the effects were similar, and whether it was helpful in the long run. I would be very appreciative of anecdotes from similarly afflicted people. Thank you so much.
