is it good for the hypnotized person to go through the negative feelings again when they go to the past on the timeline to release????

Whether or not it is a good thing to reexperience negative feelings, people tend to do so, however briefly, when doing timeline.

Hi Mango:

Specifically speaking of TLT, the client can let go of the negative emotions without experiencing the angst associated with it. The method is to get the client higher above their timeline.

Keep in mind that a formal hypnotic trance is not required.

All the best,

If you are doing time line therapy, then yes.

I side with Merlin. Hypnosis is in and out of Time Line Therapy. When the client is on the Time Line client should be in trance and when stepping off of the time line then out of trance. Why should TLT have to be a "stand alone therapy" when one can add NLP and trance to it? Three prongs are much better than one IMO. I can remember volunteering to be the class subject for this one once. I was a little cherub angel flapping my wings above my timeline, a lot of NLP was throw in and it was totally the greatest and coolest experience of my life.

Hi - when doing negative emotions it is necessary to take them in to the event, where they will experience the emotion to some degree and this is important for them - to feel the difference of being in the event and noticing the emotion that is present - so when you bring them back out to position No. 3 before the event and then they feel it disappear. This is good for the conscious/unconscious recognition of it disappearing, which helps the whole process.

Another point to note is that they are back at the first event, when they first felt the emotion, so it is unlikely to be especially intense.
