Wouldnt those to be shown to be flawed with false memories, be a symptom of the skill of the hypnotist rather than the hypnosis process itself?

I'm always skeptical when someone claims seemingly unrelated abduction experiences.. It implies they are somehow special.. Especially when one involves having alien babysitters..
That's the whole point. The finding in hypnosis is that what ever you imagine under, is real because it's coming up from your subconscious. It's not your limited human senses speaking through ego, but the truth of what you think and feel. Through your activating your imagination your able to go into a state where the subconscious can 'dream up' images for you to understand while youre in a semi-conscious state. Ive been under myself, so i know.

Not really , hypnosis is an unreliable tool for uncovering memories because you can't tell what is real and what is imagined
past life regressionists have been doing it for decades but as far as I'm aware nothing solid or provable has come from any of their hypnosis sessions , there are some interesting anecdotes but nothing that stands up to scrutiny.
So according to you, anyone without a official degree on paper doesnt have 'real' skills. Lol well be sure to tell anyone that has real interest in anything that because they dont have an academic degree in it, what ever they've learned is false and inaccurate.
As I said above Budd Hopkins wasn't a professionally trained hypnotist he picked it up over a few years watching others do it so one has to question his skill in the art

However the rub for you disbelievers is that you are automatically limiting the amount of data that you will allow yourself to believe. That's OK, you're only human and humans are notorious for wanting to be the supreme animal in the universe and are solidly confident that they have everything all figured out in the Universe from A to B.
