CHAPTER

Is There Anyone Who Shouldn't Try Hypnosis?

Is there anyone who shouldn't try hypnosis because it could harm them more than help them? Yes, and I think I want to really refer to groups of people who have learned to use dissociation as a response to trauma early in their childhood. These are people that can really dissociate with the drop of a hat. For an issue like chronic pain, you're not going to cure anyone in one session. You only manage chronic pain. It's better if other people hypnotize you, but you'll get better and better at it if you do self-hypnosis.
