Hypnosis is one of the therapeutic techniques that can be used after psychological trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Its principle is based on the psychic dissociation it creates, similar to that which can occur in the event of a traumatic event (the subject is both actor and spectator of his or her experience). EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy based in part on hypnosis, often indicated in cases of PTSD.
