Healing Prenatal Traumas with Tandem Hypnotherapy

Császár-Nagy Noémi and Vas P József

Tandem Hypnotherapy designates a group of hypnotic methods which can be effectively applied in the cases of psychosomatic and mental disorders stemming from prenatal relational traumas. All the techniques of Tandem Hypnotherapy involve three persons: the client, the co-therapist, and the therapist. The latter two of them are in a tandem situation. Techniques of Tandem Hypnotherapy have been elaborated by the authors for the following settings: joint trance of natural mother and child; joint trance of virtual mother and child; joint twin hypnosis. The client makes an agreement with the therapist and the co-therapist to go into hypnosis with the aim of re-living the his/her intrauterine experiences and subsequent birth. In the therapeutic setting touches play a central role as they help to resolve the psychopathological outcomes of early relational traumas in a joint attunement evolving between the participants in tandem. This study presents three case vignettes together with some conceptual issues raised by their analysis.
