Despite what you may have been told or heard (most likely by someone who knows nothing about hypnosis and has never experienced it) to successfully undergo a hypnosis session You do not having to undergo past life hypnosis, go back in time, or have an age regression. It’s not mandatory; having to remember or visit and experience past life events just to allow you to get over your symptom.
Regression is yet another tool in the hypnotherapist’s toolkit that can be extremely effective, when used as a means of therapeutic intervention by a professional hypnotherapist, at the right time and in the right way.
So what is regression? It is basically a technique in which a hypnotherapist takes the client back in time, in his subconscious mind, to a time or place, an event or occurrence that actually took place or occurred in his imagination.
Reasons you might consider regression
Why would a hypnotherapist think of using regression? There are several reasons, which may include:
Find the source of a symptom. She may have had these symptoms for a long time, but he can’t remember when, where, how, or why they started, but he would certainly like to know. A series of (at the time) seemingly trivial little events may have occurred simultaneously to give her the symptom she is now experiencing. Her therapist might recommend that in order to eliminate her symptom, she needs to identify and work on each of the little trivial events, the individual components that together represent her symptom.
Change the way you remember an event from your past. You may have previously experienced a traumatic event, as you remember it in the present, find it upsetting, distressing, or stressful. He may experience feelings of anxiety, loss of self-confidence, or the emotion of powerlessness. The hypnotherapist could take you back to that moment, allowing you the opportunity to change how you remember that particular event and how you react to it.
An example might be that you remember being scared when you were young by a visit to the dreaded dentist. That feeling of helplessness that you felt then contributes to a large extent to your phobia and fear of dental treatment that you experience in the present. By going back to that time, only now, you will be given instructions to remember it differently, you can empower yourself to feel safe and not have that overwhelming feeling of helplessness. Gaining self-empowerment in the past allows you to bring that power back to the present and conquer that core element of your phobia.
Remembering an event from your past. You have hidden a valuable piece of jewelry in (what seemed at the time) a very safe and memorable place, unfortunately as time went by that safe and secure place turned out not to be so memorable, in fact now you can’t remember where! Damn you hid it! Through regression, you can return step by step to that precise time and place, re-experience the moment, and vividly retrace your steps to that safe hiding place to retrieve your treasure.
Deletion of a past traumatic event. Have you held yourself back from experiencing emotions associated with a particularly traumatic event in your past, bereavement, relationship breakup, loss of a long-loved pet? Unfortunately, those emotions were locked in the depths of her being, intensifying her symptom at this time. The therapist can use a regression technique that allows you to re-experience that moment and event, only now you can bring up those repressed emotions in a safe environment. Now, as those repressed emotions are no longer locked away, the symptom should run out of fuel and go away.
Access good feelings from your past. You realize that until recently you were always very focused when you played squash. But, lately, his game has gotten sloppy, he lacks that advantage, his clinical quality seems to have deserted him, now he is playing a very poor game by his high standards.
By bringing you back to the time when you had those requisite feelings of concentration and ultra-focus through the use of regression techniques, the hypnotherapist can, once again, allow you to recapture those feelings of invincibility, experience those winning emotions, and bring them back to the present. and let you get your game back.
Through regression, experiencing past life hypnosis and allowing yourself to go back in time, you can gain invaluable insight into what happened before. Also, with such insight, you are given a level of self-control over your symptom. Once you take control, it’s a fairly simple step to progress towards finally getting rid of your symptom.
