Resolving and integrating emotional memories or parts requires hypnotic regression via Revivification or Hypermnesia. The key is the utilization of the Affect Bridge developed by Watkins and Watkins. Revivification and Hypermnesia will both be demonstrated, and sufficient time will be provided for practice.
