So the hypnosis was an illuminating experience-- worthwhile-- esp. because it seems that you answered a gnawing question-- about whether you needed to remember things--
and did remember and recognize some important things, and contain them and begin to work on them.
The really important thing though is that you don't need to go there any more-- at least for now. Maybe forever.
You are who you are-- even though that third time sounds awful and hard to experience. Maybe realizing that you don't need to put yourself through that-- and finding that angry kid, who needs to be helped-- and recognized-- was what you were really looking for, and not the memories?
I used to go over and over things that had happened. And over time, for some reason, I stopped thinking about it. It hasn't solved everything-- by any means-- but it led me in a new direction, which offers more to me than the remembering.
I hope it'll be that way for you too. But I'm glad you followed through, so you don't wonder-- and question the decision not to.
