Question
how often "Repressed Anger" is the most often "repressed emotions" found in "Hypno therapy" sessions?
and how hypno therapy is said to "Releive" these repressed feelings and does the person often times become VERY angry during? how the person is asked to "releive" these emotions and how and why this is said to help them ?
which other emotions are often have found to have been "repressed" too under hypno therapy and how "bottling up" these negative emotions is said to affect them negatively?
how many people or which percenatage of people could use "hypnotherapy" too in your opnion and why?
please explain too if "hypno therapy" lasts more than one session usually and if so, how many or how long each? when is a person "cured" supposedly according to theorists on this issue?
thanks for your answers!

Additional Details
how is a person often "kept under control" during hypno therapy sessions too and how the hypnotists does this or is said to do this?
My Answer:
Hello !
I'm not surprised no one else has attempted to answer this. I AM surprised that I am about to try to answer it.
I don't think repressed anger is common at all. It is more likely that the person will be feeling the anger in real life today without knowing why. The event that causes the anger may be beyond conscious awareness (and thus might possibly be described as 'repressed') but that's not the same as the emotion itself being repressed. After all, if the emotion were repressed no one would know about it or be trying to treat it.
In fact, in 16 years of practice I have only come across one case of repressed anger, and that was in a boy who bit his nails. Briefly, his subconscious mind was angry that his dad had kicked him across the room when he was four because the boy accidentally blocked the dad's view of the TV. The anger came not from being kicked across the room but from the affront to the child's sense of natural justice. You see, his dad used to stand in front of the TV routinely so others could not see it, and thought it was funny when he did it. But when the boy did it accidentally ...
And that anger lie behind the nail biting, 13 year later.
All sorts of other emotions can lie beneath the surface. I recall a woman I treated earlier this year who claimed to have a rage inside her. When I tried to find out why, it was because her dad had left home when she was two, and she loved and missed her daddy. Consciously, she thought she had never known him and nothing about him made any difference to her. Subconsciously she thought he had abandoned her, and the prevalent emotion was one of sadness. (Of course, he had abandoned her mother, not her. She was collateral damage.) That 'repressed' sadness manifested itself in the present (more than 50 years later) as rage.
I would say that the most common emotion underlying present day problems is that affront to the child's natural sense of justice; when it really was an accident but they got blamed for it. Ot it wasn't their fault at all but they got caught up in it or in trouble over it.
There is no one way to treat any of this. I advise all therapists that I supervise to "Treat the person, not the problem." You have to find a good therapist (and that might be a hypnotherapist but it doesn't have to be) and let them use their skills and expertise to treat you.
Average stats for hypnotherapy do not mean anything. Hypnosis isn't a pill like aspirin, with relatively predictable results. To begin with you need to find a good hypnotist, and we are rare. Then you need to be a good hypnotee, and you might or might not be. If you're not, it does not matter that XX% of the population gets great results from hypnotherapy. Then how long it takes will depend on how good your therapist is, how they decide to treat you, how much stuff they have to deal with, and how quickly you can move.
It is rare that a therapist has to 'control' a patient during a session but when it is necessary, again, there is no one way. It depends on the behaviour that needs controlling. You really have to choose your therapist carefully and then rely on their knowing what they are doing.
