Hypnosis

Postby Rive » Tue Jun 18, 2019 4:58 pm

My psychologist wants to do hypnosis to keep my sexual part from coming out at inappropriate times. Is this safe?

I thought that trust had to be established before trying something like this. And that’s part of the first phase, stabilization. She seems to propose a lot of quick fixes, which isn’t the standard of treatment for DID/OSDD.

But if you believe this will be helpful and not harmful you can try it.

+1. We have same opinion than two other's who already commented.

It's your choice, remember it's yours. I have been hypnotized by my ex-T, who didn't know how to treat me but new how to do hypnotherapy. It was done only once, nothing bad came out of it. We didn't try to do anything under hypnosis then tho, just tested if I am able to go under hypnosis. (Part of me wasn't affected at all but found it boring and cringe, part of me fell so deep we had to be bring back twice before we actually came.)

First thing in therapy is to build a connection and trust with the T. Then to stabilize your overall situation. These two can happen at the same time. Then to start fixing things, and go back to stabilizing when needed. I find this very early too, but it's my opinion. I would say no just because I'd feel it's rushing. I don't know about your situation enough tho, if sexual part is acting dangerously against others or actively trying to do so regularly, I understand why T is concerned and wants to try. Healing that part will take a lot of time, and maybe something needs to be done before it. I do not know, if you don't either, ask your T about it.

It's up to you if you wanna try. If you don't, tell it clearly and tell why. That's your job in therapy, to be honest about how you feel about everything, about T and therapy and yourself and everything you talk about. Don't say no because I would, it can be interesting and if it will help, great.

I do agree that this part of you needs instant help, because they can be potentially dangerous to others. If this is the right way, I don't know. I'm not a T and I'm not you either. Feel free to choose for yourself.

I would have to trust someone completely to relax enough to allow hypnosis to happen. From your posts, it seems to me like you haven't really built up a deep trust with your T yet.

Things I would ask my T before allowing it:

1. How many times have you put someone under hypnosis?
2. How many times have you done it with someone who's had DID?
3. What was the outcome of session for the person you hypnotized.
4. What makes you think it will work?

And then based on their answers I may have more questions.

As to whether it's safe or not... I cannot have an opinion on that as I have never experienced it or known anyone who has experienced it.
