Sincerely, Neil Brick These may be heavy for survivors of abuse to read. excerpt from : http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,2-2001180257,00.html Woman wins hypnotist case - by Michael Horsnell - 5/26/01 - - A woman who claimed that she was turned into a suicidal zombie when a stage hypnotist reawakened the trauma of childhood sex abuse won her legal action for damages yesterday....The judge found that Mrs Howarth was the victim of "persistent childhood sexual abuse". Her behaviour in developing coping strategies and in keeping the matter secret from the world was entirely consistent with the behaviour of adults who had been abused as children. He was also satisfied that her deeply buried memories were rekindled when she was in a hypnotised state."
