Recent research has found that memories uncovered during hypnosis, or other forms of induced
altered states may not be accurate or even factual. Memory is a constructive and reconstructive
process. What is remembered about an event is shaped by what was observed, by conditions
prevailing during attempts to remember, and by events occurring between observation and
attempted remembering. Memories can be altered, deleted, and created by events that occur
during and after the time of encoding, during the period of storage, and during attempts at
retrieval.
Therefore, if memories should surface that may be considered grounds for future litigation during
the course of hypnotherapy, you may lose your legal right to use this information in a court of law,
as it may not be admissible. If certain types of memories begin to surface during any hypnosis
session, the session will be discussed so that you may decide whether or not to proceed further
with the hypnosis based on your understanding and careful consideration of the above
information.
Depth Hypnosis can bring up strong emotions and by signing this document you are indicating
that you feel stable enough to handle those emotions. The Hypnotherapist is not liable for any
pain or emotional distress that may ensue in the course of this work, and it is understood that you
will seek medical or psychiatric help as the need arises.
