Regression Therapy
Regression therapy is as the name suggests, regressing back to an earlier time, going back to a former state. Through the use of hypnosis, clients can be regressed back to a particular point in their life, to a childhood memory, traumatic events, or certain situations that had a profound impact on them at various ages. Regression therapy can be used to deal with past trauma, fears and phobias and any unfinished trauma that one is still suffering from today. It can also be used when trying to decipher a blockage one is having in their present day life and cannot seem to find the root cause of the issue. It is believed that the blockage could have originated earlier in your life or in your childhood where you may have unintentionally blocked it.
Past Life Regression therapy (PLR) assumes that we reincarnated into our physical bodies and have done so a countless number of lifetimes, each time in a new physical body. Along with our physical bodies, is our spiritual body, the soul; it is believed, unlike the physical, the spiritual does not change and has continued to journey with you, through each lifetime. The spiritual body has kept score of every experience, feeling, emotion, thought, memory and image from each lifetime. This information is stored and continues to be stored every day in your subconscious mind. Through the practice of PLR, one can access their subconscious mind to find answers to current blockages, fears, phobias, trauma etc.

How does it work?
The conscious mind is the mind that we use in our awaken state, it is our awareness, it has all our basic information and memory. It gets us from A to B, it knows what our car looks like, where we live, how to brush our teeth, etc. The subconscious mind is where everything else is stored, every feeling, thought, memory, image and emotion we have experienced and are experiencing. At this stage the brain is producing beta waves, these allow us to be conscious. In order to experience Regression therapy and PLR the brain must be producing theta waves, it is in theta that the subconscious mind can be accessed. Theta waves are generated when the mind hits a deep state of relaxation. Therefore in order to regress, the client simply needs to get into a deep state of relaxation and remain there while accessing the subconscious mind.

What does a session look like?
The hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to get the client into a deep relaxation, similar to a guided meditation. Once the client hits theta, the therapist starts working with the client through a series of questions to guide and navigate the client through what they are seeing/experiencing. The client is in full control at all times and able to communicate clearly with the therapist. Some describe it as simply sitting back in a chair with their eyes closed, completely aware of their surroundings and able to clearly talk to the therapist, while still being completely engrossed in what they are seeing/experiencing. The therapist can guide the client from one significant scene to the next based on the issues that were pre-discussed that the client wants to gain insight on. At the end of the session the therapist will take the client out of hypnosis and bring them back to their conscious state. At this point and moving forward the client will remember everything experienced throughout their session.
