ABSTRACT

Hypnosis has long been successfully used in the treatment of trauma and related disorders. In this paper, I describe a hypnosis-informed approach to PTSD using mindfulness. The Mindfulness-Based Phase-Oriented Traumatic Therapy (MB-POTT) follows the phase-oriented tradition that was originally proposed by Pierre Janet, later expanded by Daniel Brown and Erika Fromm using clinical hypnosis.

MB-POTT comprises four distinct, yet recursive, stages: (1) therapeutic alliance building and symptom stabilization, (2) formation of a narrative about the trauma, (3) re-creation of meaning of life after trauma, and (4) future symptom management. In explaining these categories, I delineate the nature of mindfulness, both similarities and dissimilarities to hypnosis, with an emphasis on techniques that resemble hypnotic approaches (e.g., ego state therapy, ego-strengthening).

Finally, I provide a case study in which MB-POTT was implemented with a client who suffered from PTSD after a near-fatal industrial accident.

摘要

催眠长期以来一直成功地用于治疗创伤和相关疾病。在本文中，我描述了一种使用正念治疗 PTSD 的催眠方法。基于正念的相位导向创伤疗法 (MB-POTT) 遵循最初由 Pierre Janet 提出的相位导向传统，后来由 Daniel Brown 和 Erika Fromm 使用临床催眠进行扩展。

MB-POTT 包括四个不同但反复出现的阶段：（1）治疗联盟的建立和症状的稳定，（2）关于创伤的叙述的形成，（3）创伤后生命意义的重建，以及（4）未来的症状管理。在解释这些类别时，我描述了正念的本质，与催眠的相似之处和不同之处，重点是类似于催眠方法的技术（例如，自我状态疗法、自我强化）。

最后，我提供了一个案例研究，其中 MB-POTT 是与一位在几乎致命的工业事故后遭受 PTSD 的客户一起实施的。
