Re:what does this mean?

Thank you for responding to my question. I wanted to do the hypnotherapy for just that reason. I do not want or need to remember any more memories about the abuse in my childhood. I just want to be stronger so that I can deal with my fear of being touched or hugged by my husband, my grandchildren, anyone. I tryed the EMDR and I had a problem with wetting my pants at work and some problems with staying whole during the procedure. I do not know how to describe the staying whole thing except I would be able to hear my EMDR therapist talking to me but I was shrinking in size and foggy and could not stay in one place. I thought maybe with hypnosis I could access some of the feelings I have locked up inside and maybe once I could rid myself of whatever causes me to hid behind these walls, try the EMDR again. My therapist wants me to talk instead and I am sick of talking, talking, talking and nothing changing. I usually laugh when I talk of the abuse, not as in it is funny, but a nervous wierd laugh. Same thing I did when my brother died and my mother thought I was not taking his death seriously. I was crushed when he died but I kept wanting to laugh and I guess that is a nervous habit of mine. I will sometimes cry during therapy but when I do I feel myself start to float and I shut it down real quick. Sorry for venting here but I am feeling more than hopeless right now and I was so hoping that they would give me something to hope for.
