This is some hypnotizing sh1t

I was severely abused as a child, and I have difficulty going through daily life because everything reminds me of what happened... it was 7 years ago that it stopped... but

I am in a therapy that puts me in dream sleep while awake... while in this state a woman names off objects, people, places, things I normally avoid, I then have a conscious dream of something that happened that I forgot. So we can try to erase it from my memory.

with this, I remembered being in the hospital a day after I was BORN!!! and things when I was three months old, things I never knew happened, but have been confirmed as happening.

but sometimes the abuse I tried so hard to forget comes up, and once it's up... it wont leave... I'ts like having your brain trapped in a horror movie... you react in body but you are in no real danger at the time.

I hate myself still though, each 'image' I see, the more hopeless and unwanted I feel. Does anyone else do emdr? And does it actually work for you?

    The memories from birth are fabricated by your imagination. The therapy essentially tricked you into making events up in your life. That's what I suspect.

    Yeah your brain isn't adequately developed to retain memories in the first few months after birth. False memories are common - you merge existing memories with photographs you've seen and stories you've heard.

    You've read about those people that go under hypnosis and discover who they were in 'previous lives' right? This is a prime example. Your imagination is a powerful thing, especially when let loose under hypnotherapy. You can construct very convincing but fictional events.

    I'd advise you not to believe everything that emerges while under hypnosis. I'm also a little sceptical about the effectiveness of delving into those true memories and reliving them for therapeutic means.

    LoL bullshit... 2nd day of life? Thats impossible. Forgeting your past is not going to solve the problem you just need to learn to accept it and put it behind you.
