I know I harp on this, but I think it is threatening to some because it occasionally offers relief faster than talk therapy. It may just have its roots in fear of competition...

She was the sole speaker on a panel on hypnosis and I couldn't believe the misinformation she was saying. (Things like the classic rants against stage hypnosis, that people can get killed in car accidents by going into a trance, or how she would never do a demonstration of hypnosis because she didn't have anyone to act as a spotter because she was afraid of hypnotizing someone else in the audience, which at the time was a total of 2, myself included.) Hypnosis, in her opinion, should be left up to the people with the "magic letters" behind their name. The only thing I could figure from what she was saying was that either she (or the organization she was a part of) didn't understand hypnosis very well or else they were somehow afraid of it.
