“”Regression therapy is the mental act of going back to an earlier time, whenever that time may be, in order to retrieve memories that may still be negatively influencing a patient’s present life and that are probably the source of the patient’s symptoms. Hypnosis allows the mind to short circuit conscious barriers to tap this information, including those barriers that prevent patients form consciously accessing their past lives… Repetition compulsion is the name given by Freud to describe the often irresistible urge to re-dramatize or reenact emotional, typically painful, experiences that occurred in one’s past… Freud discovered that bringing the initial trauma to consciousness, cathartically releasing it (a process called abreaction), and integrating what has been felt and learned is effective. Hypnotic regression therapy performed by a skilled therapist first puts the patient in a hypnotic state and then gives the patient the tools needed to bring an incident like this to light… Past life regression therapy combines the specificity and healing catharsis that is the best Freudian therapy with the healing participation of deep symbolic meaning that is the hallmark of Jung.” ( from, “Through Time Into Healing” by Brian L. Weiss, M.D.)

“Past life regression therapy is beneficial and safe. Each lifetime is an opportunity to learn how to control our “reactions” to life events. Our goal is to create spontaneous “spiritual responses” by achieving a measure of detachment from events that we cannot control. Operating in this way supports us with releasing karma in any given incarnation.”(from Yvonne M. Christman Ph.D., Psychologist in Chicago area, Wellness Institute Mentor and Teacher

Past life memories may come up in many forms such as deja vu experience, recurrent dreams of a specific location or frightening event, phobias, and unexplained fears. Through emotional feelings and body sensations associated with an identified present life problem, a client is prompted to locate the source or cause of the problem. This leads to discovery of pain filled memory in a past life. A therapist guides the client in the personality of the past life character through the traumatic episode in the lifetime, and finally through the death experience. The therapist assists the client in resolving any remaining emotional issues, any unfinished business in that life, and to integrate the experience into the present life situation. The past life character, as a spirit, moves away from the body and the death scene into the Light. The narrative is similar to descriptions of the near death experience (NDE). Many emotional problems and conflicts are quickly and effectively resolved through past life regression therapy, usually in far fewer sessions than with conventional therapy. Many physical ailments are considered to be psychosomatic, and these conditions may begin to diminish or cease altogether through past life regression therapy.
