his article describes a case that illustrates the key features, techniques, and benefits of combining redecision therapy and hypnosis and some of the therapeutic advantages this affords to both clients and therapists. Among these is the establishment of an observing Adult ego state that can aid the therapist in developing experiential resources for the Child ego state. The heightened concentration created by hypnosis makes resource retrieval and association easier for the client's Adult and Child. Hypnosis allows the client to effortlessly shift attention to supportive ego states and build strong associations between each of them and offers the resources the Child needs to maintain the redecision.
