The dissociation theory states that while in hypnosis, the mind is completely separated from the rest of consciousness. So, if a person underwent hypnosis, and her hand was put in ice, her mind would theoretically not be able to register the pain that would be experienced by her body. So, the statement that she didn't feel pain from the ice is consistent with the dissociation theory.
