The person accused of being molested is deceased.   DESCRIPTION: The conclusion of Ninalynn's session with The Hilarious Hypnotist. Ninalynn makes several stunning realizations not only about her past but regarding her family members as well. She realizes that her uncle was not only grooming her but other family members as well in order to protect his dirty secrets. Ninalynn realizes that she's likely played out the scenarios in her head more than they've actually happened. The family member who controlled her has passed, so it's okay for her to let it go. She admitted that this family member snuck past her in a weak moment and continued his pattern. She still felt guilty about that, but found some peace that the situation could have been much worse.

Don't miss the exciting ending to this session!   KEY POINTS: - Ninalynn has additional insights into not only her story but into the stories of other family members. -She sees the pattern of child molestation, and thanks in part to her husband, she has mostly been able to stop the pattern from repeating. -Ninalynn realizes she needs to continue working on herself mentally and physically, and also with her diet.     QUOTABLES (2 quotes): "I was 16 and he would buy me speed, pot, cigarettes, or alcohol to keep me quiet."
