Daughter of time: Here are the main points in this, Dr. Malanga's, latest interview:
"Many question hypnosis. But people don't lie under hypnosis unless the hypnotist makes suggestions. A good hypnotist will ask questions, many specific questions but never make suggestions. Most abductees, under hypnosis, recount almost identical, detailed experiences.
Have you ever thought that clients under hypnosis may sometimes recount almost identical, detailed experiences, precisely because at some point, in a very subtle manner, the hypnotist is passing suggestions that are implanting the client's brain/mind and that will be rehash later under hypnosis.
One should never forget that people that are heavily traumatised in any way (through abduction, because of human harassment, because of an accident or war, etc) are often in dire need of human warmth and comprehension/support and will unconsciouly do what is needed to get it, like pleasing the hypnotist.
Have you ever seen a child wanting to please its parents and not wanting to disappoint them, ending up saying what they want to hear even if they haven't spoken directly to him. This happens often.
I did look at most of the videos of Dr Malanga (who is not in medecine or psychologie or anything related to human brain), and I have seen him prompting the client and getting answers he wants. In fact, it appeared quite obvious to me that he was leading the client.
NLP training, as he had, is often brief, not complete unless you do years of training in it, and dangerous to use with hypnotherapy because false memories can be sooo easily implanted into the client's brain.
You are right, no suggestion ever should come from the hypnotist, verbally or non verbally. I insist on the non verbal cues the client perceives unconsciously.
Questions are to be genuinely open questions and waiting for any possible answer has to be genuine as well. No preconceptions that may lead the clients. Hard to do.
