Of the following, which is not a helpful way to use hypnosis in treating dissociative disorders?

Hypnosis may be used to help a patient recall painful memories and work through trauma, including trauma connected with amnesia. Keeping painful memories hidden does not address the underlying distress and can maintain the dissociation, so it is not a helpful use. The correct choice is “having the patient keep painful memories hidden.”
