Accidental Hypnosis?

[Yothu]

I got an interesting reading right here:

Summary

The subject of “Accidental Hypnosis” is discussed and defined as the implantation of a thought and an emotion into the subconscious at a time when the critical factor of the conscious is paralyzed by the emotion of the event. When a similar situation arises later in life, the original emotion may be reactivated and result in an inability to deal with the situation in a rational way, obviously causing severe and/or embarrassing problems. In many such instances a dramatic cure can be achieved in a short time by recreating the emotion and tracing it back to the origin. There is usually little need for much continued reinforcement.
