Timeline
Timeline is a technique utilized in hypnosis in which one imagines viewing their entire life, from the beginning to the end, and from a distant perspective, usually from high above looking down. Just as details are not visible when looking at this from a high vantage point it is the same with the Timeline technique, a person goes has to visit a point in their past, present or future.
How a person orients the past, present and future can be an indicator of how they perceive time and their relationship to time. People who view the past as being behind them or “over their shoulder” are able to easily go back to exact moments on their timeline. These people tend to view time as relative and in general would be considered less punctual. Then there are people who view their timeline configured in front of them. These people value time, are generally quite punctual and are good at gauging time duration. When accessing events in their timeline it may take more time because they tend to group and store memories in a categorically condensed manner. Some people are a combination of these two styles.
Any memories accessed in Timeline should be interpreted metaphorically and not literally as there is a risk of false memories being created. So, unless one is working with a Forensic Hypnotist as part of a criminal investigation one should maintain a light hearted approach. Timeline has many benefits and can even help retrieve a lost object.
