Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The symptoms of Sleepwalking disorder include getting up, walking, talking, and even eating in one’s sleep or sleep-like state. The patients do not realize what they have done. It is accepted that there is no specific treatment for this disorder. Some medications and psychotherapies including hypnotherapy have been used in various situations. In this study, the hypnotherapy was used on a 46-year-old female patient.
Method: She had been suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and sleepwalking for over a year. Through hypnotherapy, she was able to express her anger towards people who had hurt her in the past. Also, through regression and trance logic, she was able to reconcile with her mother who had passed away.
Results and Conclusion : As a result, her sleepwalking disappeared and other psychological problems such as depression and anxiety were reduced effectively.
