Hypnosis is actually quite useful for digging up old memories that the subject doesn't consciously remember.

Edit: ITT a bunch of people who don't know anything about hypnosis other than unrealistic depictions in media.

I've all but given up talking about it. Yes, it's real. Yes, it works. No, not like Hollywood has shown us.

I still find the "tipping" anecdote to be the most convincing. Guess you would have to experience it to believe. When the stage guy did it to her, him and his assistant placed her head on a chair with her ankles on another, and she was perfectly still and calm.

We could put that down to stage tricks I missed, but having done similar IRL, well, I experienced it. Going to hypnotize my wife and video the thing.

Slight problem with that one coach:

Or the time I took her back before she was born.

As it continues:

She got confused looking, mumbled a little, suddenly spouted, "SNOO!" Startled hell out of me! We had no clue WTF that was. Later her sister related a story about a snow storm when she was 2 and that's what she called it.

My younger siblings were definitely aware of funny family anecdotes that happened before they were born. It's not unreasonable that the memory she was recalling was a recounting of that story.
