What is regression and how does it work?

 

Regression goes back to the source of an issue (the original sensitizing event) and rapidly changes or reframes the way you perceive it. Think of it like tagging a painful experience, but in a new and positive way. By changing the way you react, you can change the way you act.

​

Take someone with a fear of public speaking for example. Some event in the past created the association; speaking up will hurt you. Regression aims to change the association with that original memory so that you can ultimately become indifferent to the thought of presenting. By reacting in a different and positive way, the dread of speaking disappears and presenting becomes a normal everyday activity.

What is regression helpful for?

​​

• Anxieties: stress, social anxiety, low mood, fears, phobias, overwhelm, burnout, apathy, low energy, resilience, insomnia, grief

• Baggage: childhood issues, mild to moderate trauma, guilt, shame, loneliness, outdated beliefs, addictions

• Performance: confidence, assertiveness, speaking up, dealing with authority

• Stuckness: finding yourself at a crossroads, limiting assumptions, life transitions, dissatisfaction, frustration, mental blocks, redundancy 

• Reconnection with self: the drive to rediscover passion, purpose, meaning, zest for life, life balance, the real you

​

The amount of energy we use keeping fear, shame, guilt, anger or sadness hidden away can be enormous. When you release the blockage, the amount of vitality suddenly available for life can be significant. Apathy disappears, confidence increases, important conversations get started, gym memberships get used, flights get booked, walls get decorated and jobs get changed.  When you're no longer anchored to the past, the drive to explore the future can be huge. 

​

All regression is agnostic and therapeutic and you choose your own explanation of it. Some clients view past life regression as connecting with another fragment of their soul in order to complete something unfinished that is bleeding through from another incarnation. Whereas others view it as a guided imaginary journey, fantasy or a metaphor, similar to a hyper-realistic dream or VR experience. Irrespective of the explanation, both will provide a similar experience and outcome. Similarly you could refer to current life regression or inner child therapy, as functional imagery training, imagery rescripting or eidetic imagery therapy. All are similar techniques to describe a similar process of rewriting memories, within a quiet, calm, inwardly-focused state, in order to change the association and reactions that they drive.
