Question:
I know there is an approach for healing PTSD called regression therapy. You get hypnotized and then you re-experience the whole traumatic event in every detail, even remembering all the things that might have been repressed by (partial) amnesia. I do not know much about the different kinds of therapy, but I heard this one should be very effective. Regarding all the flashbacks I have and also remembering my longer lasting cut-offs from reality I wonder how regression therapy could ever be so healthy. After such a major flashback it all gets worse in me, not better. I still have not really recovered from my last incident, and all I can do after that is repressing my emotions and thoughts that relate to my trauma. So after having undergone such a regression therapy session I would repress everything again as a coping mechanism. What is the use of regression therapy then, when the absolute re-experience is kind of re-traumatizing and makes me repress the things again? I wonder if we really have to dive so deep into our shit again for getting healed, if getting healed is possible at all. What other kinds of therapy are there? And regarding my heart problems I wonder if it is possible that someone gets a heart attack during the regressive hypno session because the re-experience is too terrible and scary? Blessed be, Galin
