RECOVERING MEMORIES & LEGAL RIGHTS
Research has found that memories uncovered during hypnosis, or other forms of induced altered state, maynot be factual or accurate. Memory is a constructive reconstructive process. What is remembered about anevent is shaped by what was observed, by conditions prevailing during attempts to remember, and byevents occurring between observation and the attempted remembering. Memories can be altered, deletedand created by events that occur during and after the time of encoding, during the period of memorystorage, and during attempts at retrieval. Memories that occur either spontaneously or following the use ofspecial procedures in hypnotherapy or therapy may be accurate, inaccurate, fabricated, or a combination ofthese. This suggests that any memory uncovered during a hypnosis session be considered as a possibleconstruct of mental process, and not necessarily an actual event. Therefore, in the event that during thecourse of hypnotherapy and other memory focused metaphysical work, memories should surface that maybe considered grounds for future litigation, you may lose your legal right to use this information in a courtof law, as it would not be admissible.
If it should occur that certain types of memories begin to surface during a session with your MetaphysicalProvider, the session will be discussed so that you may decide whether or not to proceed further withhypnosis, based on your understanding and careful consideration of the above information. Consultationwith your clinician may also occur and be considered.
I have read, fully understand and consent to these metaphysical services provided and release PhasesTherapy, Inc. and it’s providers (metaphysical and clinical) from any liability and recognize that theseservices are for entertainment purposes only.
