Regression is an extremely powerful technique when it is done properly and involves taking your client back to a past event under hypnosis to identify the root cause of their problem.

The therapy session that we teach you on this course comprises using the ideomotor response (IMR), ‘The Therapy / Change Work’ section, to ask the subconscious mind if the client needs to look at the cause of the problem; if it says ‘yes,’ then regression can be facilitated.

This course will provide you with all of the information, techniques and scripts that you need in order to deliver and facilitate an effective and powerful regression therapy session. Furthermore, it covers various options as to what to do when the session does not quite go according to plan, which I am sure that many of us have experienced as practitioners!

The course content and structure of a regression therapy session has been divided into three parts comprising six stages and there are videos and script examples included to support you with completing each part and stage. This has been done purposefully to assist in ease of understanding and to fit the model and structure that we teach in the basic hypnosis practitioner course. Additionally, you will be able to watch a practical demonstration of a safe regression exercise in addition to a complete regression therapy session.

Yamuna Sharma David

"As a hypnotherapist learning and being able to offer regression therapy by learning following techniques IMR, inner child and gestalt is so important. They are simple and easy, you will be amazed how strong and effective these techniques are. The best and the beautiful part is with IMR when you communicate with the subconscious mind. Or when you will guide your client to meet his/her inner child. Or the moment when the client will cut ties from those memories that are blocking him/her from moving on. I personally use regression therapy a lot for my clients and the change in their mindset and in their emotions is huge. I always feel the switch in their vibe".
