Uncertainty and Presentification in Clinical Hypnosis

We propose to analyse a clinical situation from the perspective of integrative psychotherapy. We are part of different approaches: humanist, psychodynamic, cognitive and behavioural, hypnosis and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In this context, we present the journey of a patient whose reactions required adjustments to the therapeutic framework and a change in theoretical repository. We moved with Ms. Barnes from a work focused on cognitions and behaviors to a sensory and experiential approach with hypnosis. The therapy initially targeted an anxious symptomatology and eventually developed on an existential side incorporating the notion of uncertainty.
