Title: Hypnotherapy with UFO Abduction Clients


1
Hypnotherapy with UFO Abduction Clients
  • National Guild of Hypnotists
  • 2007 Convention
  • Craig R. Lang, MS CH
  • Researcher/Investigator, MN MUFON

Introduction
  • How many have had clients who have had issues due
    to unexplained experiences?
  • Missing time
  • long-term fear from unknown or anomalous origin
  • At some point most of you will have at least one
    UFO abduction client
  • Percentages from 1991/1998 Roper Poll
  • Up to 1 of population have had unexplained event
  • 10 of population has seen a UFO of some sort
  • Up to 10 of meaningful sightings are close UFO
    encounters (abductions?)

3
Talk Overview
  • Goals
  • Look at ways of working with the client
  • Understand a little more about the phenomenon in
    the clients life
  • Talk will cover...
  • Brief snapshot of UFO/Close-Encounters 101
  • How to work with an encounter experiencer
  • Implications for experiencer and therapist
  • Conclusions/Results I have noted

4
UFO 101
  • What is a UFO?
  • Anything that is unidentified in the sky
  • Many have prosaic explanations
  • Others do not have conventional explanations
    (yet?)
  • Still others are of high strangeness
  • (Most Close Encounters fit this category)
  • Close Encounter (UFO sighting/encounter up
    close)
  • 1st Kind CE1 (an object up close)
  • 2nd Kind CE2 (physical evidence)
  • 3rd Kind CE3 (see entities)
  • 4th Kind CE4 (abduction)
  • No explanation - a mystery, ambiguous, breaks our
    present paradigms of reality

5
Close Encounter Example Evelyn The
Laundry Room CE4
  • Witness awoke at about 3AM
  • Observed object across field in trees to north
  • View out of laundry room window on N. Side of
    house
  • Object rose over trees, approached house
  • Attempted to lock down house
  • windows, doors, etc
  • Too late entities entering front
  • Memory discontinues at that point

6
Signs of possible UFO abduction
  • What will you hear during intake interview?
  • Missing time
  • Theme of the unexplained throughout life
  • Frequent meaningful UFO sightings
  • Sudden unexplained changes in life/health
  • Overriding sense of mystery/fear about the sky,
    UFOs, etc.

7
Working with client- what do you do?
  • Not much different from any other client
  • Session work will be similar
  • First goal is healing - hypnosis is first and
    foremost, a healing tool
  • May be a case of trauma - the need for adjustment
  • Often coming to terms with shattered reality
  • Second goal is understanding - what really
    happened (from experiencer's perspective)
  • Followup goal is/can-be research - learning more
    about the extraordinary realm
  • Need to be open to whatever the client may say -
    avoid any agendas.
  • May be paradigm stretching
  • Both client and therapist need to be open to
    whatever may arise

8
Healing top priority
  • Experiencer is a bridge between worlds
  • Goal often is to help experiencer to resolve
    these two worlds
  • Healing work as needed
  • Based upon clients goals some may not need it
  • Is post-contact trauma present?
  • check for fear response
  • Treat as any other case of long-term fear
  • Parts work often extremely useful at the get-go

9
Example 2 Evelyn (continued) The Pulled out
of Bed CE4
  • Awoke to sense of entity along side of bed.
  • Entity touched her on shoulder
  • Flipped over onto front unable to resist
  • Felt self being floated out of bed - pulled by
    feet
  • Memory switches off at time when body about half
    way off of foot of bed.
  • A day later, found burned spot on the lawn
  • Subsequent months fear of being alone in house

10
Parts work Resolving fear-instilling event
  • Couldnt start with regression, due to fear
    factor
  • Called out part that helps Evelyn feel the fear
  • Source religious teaching to fear unexplained
  • Also called out a Spiritual Explorer part
  • Able to resolve between Spiritual Explorer and
    Fear parts
  • Allowed Evelyn to explore experiences on
    condition that rest of life normal/grounded
  • Subsequently, a great deal of info emerged
    regarding events

11
RegressionGetting to the heart of the matter
  • To learn sequence of events in encounter
  • Clean regression is paramount
  • Limit vocabulary to generic, non-leading
    questions/instructions
  • Please continue
  • What are you experiencing?
  • How do you feel about that?
  • What else do you notice?
  • Multiple passes through event
  • Other techniques available but this is the
    cleanest way to develop detail

12
Multiple Passes
  • First few passes Allow account to develop
  • Should be stable, with increasing detail.
  • If core account varies, may be "creative" in
    nature
  • look for metaphor material.
  • If stable, look for increasing detail.
  • Dream test
  • ask generic question about what is in the
    distance
  • if detail is present, then may be biographical
  • If blank, fog, no detail then may be a dream

13
Later passes
  • Secret details description of the "interior"
  • Comparison with commonly described classic
    abduction events.
  • Similarity suggests that it may be a abduction
    event
  • Ask "false lead" questions
  • Avoid leading questions in all cases.
  • Can ask check questions that lead toward the
    mundane (no aliens, no abduction, etc)
  • Can ask more detailed questions (stay generic)
  • Followup healing work (next slide...)

14
Reframing and other healing work
  • Reframing
  • Client specific viewpoints of the event
  • Goal is understanding, (self)forgiveness,
    empowerment
  • Re-examine meaning of a given event
  • Chair/gestalt therapy
  • Put the leader of the aliens in the chair
  • Empowerment of experiencer
  • Release and forgiveness of them
  • Parts work as needed
  • Emotional protection imagery
  • Finish with emotional ecology check

15
Understanding ResearchResults What have I
observed to date?
  • A core of standard events - the classic abduction
    scenario
  • Capture
  • Taken aboard UFO
  • "small gray" aliens with tall gray the
    leader/doctor/etc
  • Medical examination
  • Apparent sexual/reproductive focus of procedure
  • Release and subsequent confusion/mystery
  • Purpose/mission/knowledge
  • Many experiencers describe encounter purpose -
    many and varied.
  • Phenomenon has a role in their life - a core
    purpose for them
  • The experiencer has sense of secret
    purpose/mission/knowledge
  • will understand when the time is right

16
Results (continued)
  • Encounters A lot of outliers
  • Sometimes "non-standard" aliens -10-tentacled
    monsters, blobs, human-aliens, many others...
  • Nature of encounter is sometimes very different
    places, events, etc (subject of some other
    talk)
  • Metaphysical events common
  • Past-Lives/Interlife or characters from other
    lives
  • Theophany (meeting God)
  • Near-death events
  • Out of Body events
  • Sometimes find that "nothing" happened
  • Awareness during Sleep Paralysis (ASP)
  • Dream or metaphor material
  • Missing time due to some other reason (alcohol,
    mis-accounting of time, etc...) may be
    meaningful even if not UFO-related

17
Results (continued) What are close encounters?
  • Dont know what close encounter actually is
  • Physically real or metaphysical in nature? the
    jury is out
  • Some indications of physical reality, yet
    dream-like behavior
  • Superposition of realities?
  • (topic of another talk)
  • Most important meaningful to the experiencer,
    where hypnotherapist can make biggest contribution

18
Coming to terms with UFO AbductionWhat do we
need to do?
  • Do everything possible to help heal the
    "shattered reality" of the experiencer
  • Experiencer is a bridge between worlds
    realities in both realms
  • Reconcile world of us and them
  • Treat phenomenon with Wonder/Discernment/Caution
  • We don't know what it is...
  • We dont know its motivations
  • Determine/Evaluate the scientific reality of the
    phenomenon
  • Understand and manage its impact in our society
  • Manage the fear that often results from an
    encounter
  • Understand that you are not alone
  • Form picture of overall social implications

19
Conclusion
  • Ultimately - CE4 work is little different from
    any other HT work, with the exception that the
    material is an ongoing mystery
  • Clean regression and healing hypnotherapy can
    help experiencer come to terms with experiences
  • The more I learn the less I know
  • A riddle, concealed in a mystery, wrapped within
    an enigma
  • - J. Allen Hynek
  • Experiencer is a bridge between realms a
    Cosmic Bridge
