Abstract
The use of hypnosis in the management of sleep paralysis is described and discussed. 2 cases are presented in which autohypnosis was used to desensitize the patients to the anxiety that accompanied their sleep paralysis. The autohypnosis also provided a means of terminating the attacks. Follow-up data suggests that this approach may serve to decrease the frequency of sleep paralysis attacks.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
