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