A great story about Ellery, Pat.  I’ve had a few clients who came to try to recover an earlier language they’ve learned.  Of course, if one has never learned French, they are unlikely to recall it.  But if you’ve learned it, it’s still there somewhere within.  It may be childlike if learned only as a child, but from there, can be recalled and developed quickly into mature vocabulary and use.

I’ve contended, ever since I became a hypnotherapist, that events, lost items, etc. can be recovered from one’s “memory bank” much more easily when one is relaxed.  I believe that witnesses would remember far more if, instead of the interrogation style they are usually subjected to, they were asked to close their eyes, take 3 long, deep breaths and let themselves sink into their chair, allowing themselves to speak of whatever comes into their mind WITHOUT interruption. Further questions can, then, come after that. Some people specialize in hypnotic forensics for this reason.

Best always,
