Sleepwalking Through Life by Sheryl Hill, CHt, CAHA Pdf
Hypersuggestibility, also known as somnambulism in the hypnosis community, is a condition resulting from developmental childhood trauma. Sheryl Hill had spent her entire life feeling less than adequate. As a young African American girl growing up in Seattle in the 1960’s, her self esteem and self image was conceived during the racism of the civil rights movement. As she grew from a child to a teenager into adulthood, Hill noticed that she would often drift off into her own dreamworld, not remembering what she had been doing for hours at a time. Either becoming hyper focused on a task, or wandering from room to room accomplishing nothing. She would often lose important documents, tickets and jewelry and have no earthly idea where she might have left them. She was not able to stay awake in movies, at concerts, or while riding in a car. Hill began to feel overwhelmed and over burdened by her own life, which often lead to excessive drinking and eating in order to cope. Over the years she developed several unusual fears and phobias. Antidepressants and antianxiety medications did not work. It was not until she began to practice hypnosis, that she began to unravel the mystery of what had been happening to her all these years. She was a somnambulist! In a perpetual, low grade and often medium-to-deep state of spontaneous hypnosis and needed to be de-hypnotised in order to regain conscious and alert awareness. This book is part autobiography, laced with current science and amusing and informative client studies, offering persons with the same affliction a ray of hope into what is happening with them. It is written for both clinicians and their clients/patients and it explains how we have come to be hypersuggestible
