How Regression Therapy Works

By Dynne C. | Update Date: Mar 19, 2024 08:00 AM EDT

Regression therapy is a technique used to explore and address past experiences that may be influencing a person's present behavior, emotions, or beliefs. It operates on the premise that unresolved issues from the past can continue to affect people in the present. This therapy aims to uncover and resolve these issues, ultimately promoting healing and personal growth.

Hypnotic regression therapy

Hypnotic regression therapy involves inducing a relaxed state of hypnosis in the patient. During this state, the therapist guides the patient to recall specific memories or events from their past. This technique allows them to access subconscious memories that may be otherwise difficult to retrieve. 

By revisiting these memories in a controlled environment, patients can gain insight into the underlying causes of their current struggles and work toward resolution.

Age regression therapy

Age regression therapy involves therapists inducing amnesia in their patients and focusing on revisiting specific stages of childhood development. By regressing to earlier ages, people can explore formative experiences that may have shaped their beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns. 

This approach allows therapists to identify and address unresolved childhood traumas or conflicts that continue to impact the person's functioning in adulthood. Through understanding and processing these experiences, people can often experience profound emotional healing and personal transformation.

Past life regression therapy

Past-life regression therapy looks into the concept of reincarnation and past lives. Although controversial, some believe people carry memories or traumas from previous lifetimes that can affect their current existence. During past life regression sessions, people are guided to access these purported past life memories. 

By exploring these experiences, people may gain insight into recurring patterns or unresolved issues in their current lifetime. While the validity of past life memories is a subject of debate, many people report significant therapeutic benefits from engaging in past life regression therapy.
