Age Regression Hypnosis | Valleywide Hypnosis
On occasion Valleywide Hypnosis will use age regression to find and work out the root cause of an issue or problem. Age regression is the process of inducing Hypnosis through and induction, and conducting a regression back to an initial sensitizing event. An initial sensitive event (ISE) typically is an event that was powerful enough to create a shift in your emotional makeup initiating the process that contributes to your situation today.
Age Regression Hypnosis
Age regression has many benefits and can be extremely effective when paired with other hypnosis psychological modalities such as Gestalt psychology, which is a theory that your brain and emotional makeup is different than the sum of its parts. This essentially means that a person is very dynamic and what represents the whole (you) is actually a makeup of thousands, or millions of experiences, emotions and ideas.
Age regression is then the inspection into your past to discover and work through experienced situations that are related to, and affecting your current situation. A simple example of a typical problem may be where you have anger and have no idea where it comes from. Upon regression we could find that you have unreleased anger toward your mother for not being supportive enough about a career choice, and therefore has held onto this anger since that (ISE). This is a simple example, but the process of how an initial sensitizing event can create the beginnings of your know issue are the same. Basically every experience we have is registered in the subconscious mind, both positive and negative. These experiences affect us deeply within our subconscious, and mold the person that we become.
More about Initial Sensitizing Events
So what is an initial sensitizing event and how does it affect me? ISE's are usually powerful experiences in your life, which can range extremely positive or negative events, and can also be so powerful your conscious mind completely blocks them out. These ISE's contribute to an emotional response being created to protect or regulate your emotional makeup. A person's subconscious will always try and regulate the emotional makeup of the individual therefore creating a seed reaction (walls built up) that can grow from the ISE. There is a sense of shock when an event of great magnitude happens, and your subconscious quickly tries to create a response where it will be most protected and normalized. These responses vary greatly but commonly are created during the mental trauma, and are made to protect and carry the mind through the process until normalization happens. When this event continues (as in the case of abuse) the mind will permanently create this defense mechanism and integrate this protection it into your personality. These initial events start the process and greatly contribute to some of the emotional or physical reactions you are living with today.
The Power of Suggestion
Many tragic events are verbal related and involve the communication of suggestion ,such as a parent verbally abusing a child, or a coach telling a star athlete he will never amount to anything to motivate. The subconscious will try and protect the integrity of your then current thought process and maintain your original thinking, but the initial sensitizing event can grow like a seed and become more powerful. A brilliant young mind that is constantly told that they are stupid may actually start to self sabotage, or create and illegal drug habit to create what they have influenced into believing.
Suggestion can take on many forms and is particularly potent when it comes from friends, family, or people in power positions such as doctors, teachers and coaches. Once a suggestion of great magnitude is seeded you will notice you start to think, and then dwell on that idea, creating a reality of the situation. In the case of the athlete three things can happen,
1. The athlete takes the criticism, denies the suggestion and motivates.
2. The athlete denies the suggestion and maintains the same motivation.
3. The athlete takes in the suggestion, accepts it, and starts to dwell on and create the reality that they will never amount to anything. This can lead the athlete to negative emotional circumstances such as anxiety, depression, fear, or even physical symptoms or injury.
As you can see suggestion is extremely powerful, and if the initial sensitizing event is not dealt with in an appropriate manner the seed can grow and develop into emotional and physical response.
How Hypnosis Helps through Age Regression
Hypnosis works by analyzing your current situation and developing a roadmap to find out where the presenting issue came from or was initiated from. Under regression your subconscious will be asked to find the experience, or experiences that are actively contributing to your presenting issue. The subconscious mind creates experiences, protections and emotional based on what is needed at that time, but these events can spill over and affect your current life. Your subconscious mind will always do what it feels is correct, and without a critical factor in its decision process it will not analyze what overall additional affects this may have on you. Hypnosis is the bridge that is created between the conscious critical mind, and the subconscious mind, where we can ask the subconscious what experiences are directly affecting your current condition, and if it is safe to experience and let go of them.
Often an event is repressed by your subconscious mind (I just don't want to think about it) even though that particular situation is the driving force behind your issue. It's just easier to forget about it than deal with it! Hypnosis allows for the direct or indirect interaction with the ISE, and the ability to release, or work through the situation the way you want to. Because the subconscious does not understand time or reality you can create the perfect ending to your existing ISE and release the energy that is causing current strife.
Valleywide Hypnosis uses age regression on a case by case basis when the indicators present themselves. Each person and experience is different, and all regressions will be dealt with utmost care.
