Talk therapist, learning hypnosis and a few regression methods.
I’ve read SO many books… which was kind of helpful.
I hope you’re doing all right.

The researchers refer to “a new induction protocol that combined meditation, visualisation and lucid dreaming techniques.”
This sounds suspiciously close to hypnosis, which they could look to for helpful work already done.
Research like this that ignores hypnosis needlessly starts at square one.

Alice Miller spends like a third of this book explaining Nietzsche’s whole deal. Here’s the relevant bit: “The call to war has essentially one symbolic meaning for Nietzsche: it represents nothing other than declaring battle against the deadly coercion, lies, and cowardice that constricted… (cont)

There is no bottom to the absolute truth you’re saying. We all just don’t want to believe it’s true

Alice Miller wrote a bunch of books about exactly this if you’re interested. If she couldn’t get more of us to see the truth about our parents, I’m not sure who can. Sending hugs and solidarity to you

O’Hanlon, Taproots: Underlying Principles of Milton Erickson’s Therapy and Hypnosis (1987).
A quick, fun read full of anecdotes of Erickson treating patients. I recommend this after you’ve gained some familiarity with using hypnosis, as the tools can seem confusing or unclear to the untrained.

Spiegel & Spiegel, Trance and Treatment: Clinical Uses of Hypnosis (2nd ed.) (2004).
Yet another example of a writing duo focused on hypnosis, this time a father-son pair of MDs. This a straightforward nuts and bolts approach to common maladies amenable to hypnotherapy. I really recommend it!

The Stormy Search for the Self (1990), Grof & Grof. A friend going through a Master’s program recommended this after we talked about medicine-assisted therapy. She warned it might be a bit woo for me, and I’m glad I read this late in my journey instead of the start. Woo can distort good ideas!

Bowlby realized too late that he would have preferred to call it “care-seeking” instead of attachment, which had been misconstrued at times (p. 18).
Research indicates it takes a great deal of time at daycare (70+ hours a week) to interfere with normal bonding (p. 27).

Duschinsky, Forslund & Granqvist, The Psychology of Attachment (2024)
This book caught my interest because it is from this year. I was hoping to get myself caught up on a few decades of attachment theory via a short read.
The book is little too heavy on research for me to recommend it widely.

I think I have to recommend the next book in this series by the same authors (Advanced Hypnotherapy, 2008/2015) over this one, as that one contains long chapters on ego-state therapy and abreactive techniques, but this one really gives you an idea of all the conditions hypnosis can help with

My reading typically goes Into The Void, so starting now my plan is post a picture of the books I have finished reading and a few thoughts about them! I hope my fellow therapy-enjoyers get something out of it
