Age Regression Therapy

Age Regression Therapy

Age regression therapy involves taking a subject in hypnosis back to a time in his or her life that was significantly related to the reason they are visiting the hypnotherapist. The purpose of age regression therapy is to deal with some trauma that occurred at an earlier age. It can also be done to recover lost or forgotten feelings.

A client may have a fear of enclosed spaces. They may not be able to comfortably enter an elevator and may thus avoid places with elevators. This can be a significant problem for most people and may well prevent them from living a full and rewarding life.

Age Regression Therapy

By having that client enter hypnosis, the hypnotherapist can guide them back in time so they can picture events in their past. The idea with age regression therapy is that the subconscious mind records the events of your life, even though your conscious mind cannot remember them.

The unconscious mind is where all your habits and associations are stored. At some point an association joining an aspect of the originating event with a particular fear was formed. In many cases, only certain details of the originating even become associated with the fear. This associates the fear to more general situations than is reasonable.

The aim of age regression therapy is to get the client to recall the details of the triggering event and to consciously remember the details upon awakening. The connection of the emotion (affect) with the triggering event is called an affect bridge. After reawakening you can reevaluate the experience in order to resolve and eliminate the fear.

For example, the hypnotherapist will suggest to the client that he or she can leave the hypnotic trance at any time if the strength of the emotions becomes too great. The hypnotherapist guides the subject to instances in which they have experienced the fear, in this case, a fear of enclosed spaces. By asking if each situation was the very first occurrence of that fear, the hypnotherapist can eventually guide the client back to the event that first triggered that fear.

It might be, as a young child, the client was locked in a closet by an older brother. The young client may have been threatened and experienced real fear. That fear was genuine and was reasonably linked to that event. The problem is that this fear can become generalized to apply to any enclosed area and will appear whenever the client enters another enclosed area like an elevator.

Once this originating incident is located and all the details of it are remembered, the hypnotherapist can bring the client out of hypnosis and discuss the incident.

In this way, the client can resolve the problem and end the recurring fear that they have experienced ever since the terrible time in the closed. Age regression therapy is often helpful for people with phobias or other unreasonable anxieties.

If you have memories that are causing problems for you, age regression therapy may be the right solution for you.
