Abstract
“Judy,” a professional writer, asked me to use hypnosis to help her “fill in the gaps” in her knowledge of certain periods in her youth. As she was so keen, getting her into trance was relatively easy. I asked a few questions and she answered in a slurred voice. Then, after a few minutes, she said that she wasn't hypnotized. “Not to worry, Judy, I'll bring you out” was my reply. With that, a flood of memories, absolutely unstoppable for approximately 4 minutes, came pouring forth. There-after, I asked questions relating to an earlier period in her life. Again came the statement that she wasn't hypnotized, and I replied as before. With that, a second flood of unstoppable experiences poured forth. Later, on coming out of trance, she was able to recall all she'd spoken about while in trance and often punctuated her recollections with “I didn't know that they punished me at 6 by locking me in the cupboard under the stairs!”
