Abstract
Mourning has three phases which must be worked through and which usually take about two years. This paper is a clinical case report showing — through excerpts from diaries — how a woman who had lost her husband and was an S in a phenomenological study on selfhypnosis, worked through for herself, in SH, the three phases of mourning intensely and creatively; so that at the end of the four weeks of daily SH sessions she felt liberated from her deep grief and could start a productive and happy new life again.Keywords
