Alien Abduction and Hypnosis

It is easy to snicker and joke about the topic, but there is something worthy of exploration here.  And in full disclosure, this is a subject I have studied my whole life - literally.  For me the journey of learning about this activity began for me in second grade when I read a book about Barney and Betty Hill and their experience.

When I started as a professional hypnotist, despite being an avid researcher of the abduction phenomena and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), I did not mix the two areas of interest.  My philosophy was to allow them to come together naturally if that was the case.  Recently that has happened.

Several years back a fellow hypnotist friend of my spoke to me about this issue in a demeaning and off-putting manner.  I didn't say anything about it, but just let him go on about how he thought the idea was crazy and that he refused to see a client reporting such an issue.  I don't take the same position and believe the he was operating with a closed mind.

After years of study, I have come to the conclusion that people that claim such alarming encounters are experiencing something real.  Look to the work of the late Dr. John E. Mack, a Harvard trained psychiatrist that studied and documented this phenomena as a great introduction.
