A woman rolled her car on the way to work, remarkably without injury, but was unable to drive or return to work. She felt overwhelmed with the thought that she could have died.

In hypnosis, she was willing to imagine that she was a neutral observer and could watch the car slowly rolling, ending up the right way, and then seeing herself open the car door and stand beside the car unhurt. She said “I survived!”, opened her eyes, and was able to return to work with relief and gratitude.
