The Paranormal Blog

Recently on our message board we were asked why some alien abductees, and experiencers seem to be shunning hypnotic regression. I thought I would share my thoughts on this with our blog readers as well.

I think it could be that a lot of abduction researchers now counsel experiencers to proceed with extreme caution when considering hypnotic regression as a means to remember possible events.

There are a few reasons for this such as the information could be completely unreliable, or in part fantasy, the memories may be traumatic, and without proper long term counseling afterwards or at the least a strong support network the experiencer may suffer or regret being hypnotised afterwards, also I have heard of memories being forced that are not what the experiencer may have believed they actually were and this in turns opens another can of worms that the experiencer nor researcher are potentially equipped to deal with.

I believe our minds have a way of protecting us, and if a memory is buried sometimes it is best to leave it that way. We will remember if/when we are ready (just my own opinion).

And finally hypnosis does not work for everyone, some people are poor candidates for it, and it can be quite expensive.

There is a lot to consider when making the decision to try hypnotic regression.

I have met a few people who have undergone hypnosis in order to try to remember past abduction experiences and it seems to be split between those who absolutely regret it, and those who are happy they had it done.
