What is Regression?
Question
What is regression, and how is it used in hypnosis? What do you think about past-life regression? Is it real?
Answer
"Regression" means, simply, going into the past. It might be the near past; it might be childhood; it might even be in the womb. Regression processes are used to help uncover the source of the symptoms a client is having. Once the source is found, then the skill of the hypnotherapist is to find a way to release it in keeping with the desires of the "deeper" mind. Past life regression is just that: a trip that takes you back further than this particular existence. Whether it real or imagined or provides a symbol that will allow change to take place, the final criteria of its "reality" is DID IT WORK?
