Starting with gusto

Hey,
I noticed we have some very seasoned members and some "newbies," and here we are all welcome.

Specifically, would a few of you please start by asking some questions about the things you are interested about regression work?

Regression literally changed my life. That is why I pursued it and made it my main method of practice, plus, my processes have been getting such great results, from passing tests from releasing test anxiety from parent's in childhood, to 180 degree improvement with depression, panic, IBS and even two cancer cases.

Instead of me hopping up on a soap box, some beginning discussion will serve to get us going on a roll, because questions produce responses.

You know, regression scares a lot of hypnosis practitioners and that is very sad to me. When direct suggestion and relaxation and visualization won't work, regression is usually the way to resolve the subconscious mind's reasons.

Let's see how we get started, jump in, post, start a discussion! Your questions and comments will serve to get relevant information and sharing to flow!

Hi
From other posts, you can see I, enjoy using regression work, so I was surprised at reading the above, what is scary about doing regression with people? In my opinion it has more long term benefits to direct suggestion as you are dealing with the cause, Where as I see just using direct suggestion as filling in the cracks. As beneficial as it is, I cant help wondering what's been left behind to come out somewhere else or resurface at a later date. Of course not everyone needs to regress which is where I will get the subconscious to agree a change and then use direct suggestion. Some people are not visual so I ask them to get a sense of, or whatever it takes to get the subconscious to understand the need for change.

Thank you so much for your post. I've been aa traditional cognitive-behavioral therapist for many years and since I've begun learning about regression hypnosis, I'm very excited about the potential for helping clients much more rapidly and effectively. I've begun using hypnosis in my practice recently and am excited to begin using regression therapy - have just finished watching the Gerald Kein DVD training course and am reading. Can you direct me to your best resources?
Thanks,
Dianne

Hi Randy,
I really enjoy reading your post here and have found them very helpful.

I am a newbie, I have a distant client whom has contacted me to work with her "Letting Go" of some past issues which are holding her back. I was thinking of doing some regression work with her. She has also been battling cancer and in a new relationship which she wants to let go of the past and move forward and be happier.

My thoughts are to regress her back to when the feelings began, find the root cause, confront the root, share her feelings, release the negative feelings, forgive and move back to present and see self free of the issue and happy in herself. her relationship and life.

I appreciate any thoughts you would like to share especially about the regression or cancer recovery. Which the trauma from the cancer scare and treatment very well could be the issue holding her back?

Thank you,

Brenda

Hi Brenda,

You sound sincere and ambitious, a great combination :-)

My first question is this: have you done much regression work and has your work seen success? This may sound like a silly question but I need to know where you are in your skill level.

The plan you lay out above sounds very good. Have you worked with cancer or other intense diseases? The reason I ask is often there is a lot of cleansing to do in the regressions to get a full and lasting healing change, and it takes persistence and understanding of the layers that may need to be addressed and resolved, which takes multiple sessions. I"m not saying there are not any1 session miracles, there are, but in my experience they are the exception.

Learning that once all the experiences are cleansed and reconciled - those experiences that created the self-destruction perception/program in the SM - then the symptoms decrease and disappear, is the "mind map" needed to have the confidence to keep wiping up the spilled milk, even if the last session may have suggested all the work is done.

Regression alone - finding the "bad" experiences of the past - has not proven to get the powerful changes I seek, but adding tangible releasing of the feelings in the experiences has SKYROCKETED my success, Matt's success and several of our Regression Boot Camp attendees. You can read about all this at: www.regression-hypnotherapy.com

With the addition of releasing negative feelings in the regressed to events, some amazing shifts result: clarity, calmness, strength, forgiveness - often spontaneous/ not suggested- and even finding the good in the "bad" experiences, a true reframing as it's called.

Be careful to not TREAT the cancer, unless you are a medical doctor and licensed. Work with the client to help cleanse and resolve the past experiences , and current, that flame the fires of the physical symptom called cancer. Help the client find that - which inside herself- created and maintained the dis-ease. I probably don't have to tell you this....

Yes finding the root cause is the goal, but remember that SSE's also need to be addressed if they show up in your session or subsequent sessions. SSE's are real, respect them as ISE's and your success will increase greatly.

I think that's all for now, I hope this has been of benefit to you.

Dear Randy and everyone

Hi, I'm a newbie on the discussion forum. My own experiences with past-life regression several years ago set me on the path of becoming a hypnotherapist myself. I am quite passionate about regression (current and past lives), and have completed an advanced diploma in past life regression and womb work after completion of my diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

Previous to that I was a social worker and counselor in Johannesburg, South Africa, and hypnotherapy has opened up the world to me ito my work with clients. I relocated 5 years ago to Melbourne, Australia where I currently reside.

I'm really happy to find this space where we can share and support each other in doing this important and exciting work.

Hi Mandy,

Your enthusiasm is tangible, which is a great thing! I have a few friends in Australia so I'm glad to hear you are in Melbourne. Maybe you can help me and Craig instill some life into this forum. Craig is in Adelaide / South Australia, he is a wonderful person, a great hypnotherapist and a tremendous resource (ran out of adjectives :-)

In Melbourne I know Malka Burd and she has a golden heart.

Hi Randy,
Thank you Randy, I appreciate your information.

My client may be hanging onto the past because of her experience with the cancer treatment she received. I'm not sure yet why she is holding on to the past. I have to discuss it with her in more detail.

I am very new to hypnotherapy and just starting my practice.

This year several people I know have cancer and it would be nice to offer some comfort to them as they undergo treatment. So I am interested in gaining more knowledge from others who have worked with clients battling cancer.

I have experience in pain management; my regression work at this point is just the basic fundamentals. I appreciate your insights.

Brenda

Brenda,
I've found that the reason they hold onto the past is usually something they do not realize consciously. Rarely has my clients really known what is under the surface that holds them trapped. I help them discover the true reasons with the releasing of feelings, and with each release takes them deeper into their self, where the truth is available consciously. It's amazing to watch people releasing negative feelings and after a few layers are released, they acquire tremendous insight, ah ha's!, and even life-changing and healing Epiphanies.

Tx Randy - I've emailed my other hypno-friends in Aus to notify them of the forum, so hopefully we'll be a strong group soon :)
