  • Title: The use of hypnotic age progressions as interventions with acute psychosomatic conditions.
    Author: Frederick C, Phillips M.
    Journal: Am J Clin Hypn; 1992 Oct; 35(2):89-98. PubMed ID: 1442648.
    Abstract:
    Patients with the physical manifestations and physiological disturbances engendered by serious psychosomatic conditions often present with special needs in therapy. On a conscious level, these patients may have pessimistic views of the future, including the specter of imminent death, which, for some, is a real possibility. In this paper we review four clinical cases in which hypnotic age progressions reveal the patients' deepest positive hopes for survival and serve as ego-strengthening, integrating, and prognostic tools in the face of ominous symptoms of physical distress.
