“How to Hypnotize” Course Author: Steven Hall MCOH MASC NLP
Today we’re going to be looking at a few problems you might run into and what to do.
First off, we’re going to deal with abreaction. This is rare, but as it can happen you do need to know about it. It isn’t dangerous, it’s just unpleasant, but it can be an incredibly rewarding experience for the client and 
often leads to tremendous healing.
One of the best ways to think about abreaction is to imagine that deep in the clients subconscious mind is a pocket of trauma that’s been locked away out of sight for many years. Although this trauma is hidden it affects the client in a very negative way and prevents them from living their full potential.
When you start to probe around in the clients mind you might bump into this trauma and set it free, if this happens, it immediately bubbles up to the surface and the client experiences a rush of emotions. This is very easy to recognise; the client will look stressed they’ll grimace and cry and very often shout out, as though reliving the trauma.
Most therapeutic sessions don’t really probe around enough to cause this kind of reaction, especially if you are using NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques. But some techniques, particularly regression therapy, are much more likely to produce abreaction.
If you’re with a client and this happens you can do a couple of things… Some therapists talk them through the experience very calmly and reassure them that everything is going to be alright. The idea here is to release all that trapped emotion, encourage them to let it go and expect a lot of crying. After this solution the client is usually happy and tired, they’ll also tell you they feel as though a great weight has been lifted from their shoulders.
The alternative to dealing with it is to back away, you leave the trauma where it is and talk the client back into the room telling them that they’re with you and safe and get them to wake up out of trance.

Personally, I would suggest dealing with the trauma and setting it free, if it’s popped up, the chances are it’s the right time for the client to let go of something they have been carrying around for long enough. Most traumas that are revealed in this way began in childhood, at a time that the client felt powerless. Make sure you remind them that they are strong and powerful now as an adult and they’re safe and secure. Tell them that you are with them and encourage them to let the trauma go, rather than try to fight it. You want them to release the emotion, the best way to do this is to acknowledge it, feel it and simply let it go without any fighting.
Don’t presume or suggest any cause for the trauma, doing so can create false memories, just allow them to release it peacefully.
