Regression is literally a "return to" that first moment when the traumatic event, responsible for the current block or issue happened for the first time.



That first time is always in childhood sometime between 0 and 7 years old, or maybe even -0.75 (i.e. between conception and birth). Yes, there's a chance you were already traumatized by the time you were born.



Regressions are a powerful and accessible* way to free yourself from past trauma and live a more joyous and fulfilled life, because they allow to release emotional blockages, outdated coping mechanisms, and/or self-destructive behavior.

Yes! Regression is one of the most accessible healing methods. It can be done remotely with the same efficiency as in person. I usually use zoom, because it's easy to make a recording and transcribe your session - so that you can get your Inner Wisdom ebook right after the session.

Freedom from trauma is achieved through a catharsis. During your regression session you are guided to relive the root cause of the issue, i.e. catharsis, and gain a new [healthy] perspective.

LOL, fair enough, it can hurt a little - maybe for 2-3 minutes, 5-7 at the most*. But you will know that you are safe - your older brother cannot get to you right now, and your parents cannot punish you - the table has turned long ago on both counts, hasn't it?

Plus, in case it becomes nearly unbearable, we can dial back the intensity of the original feeling by 15%, 30% or 95% if necessary, so that you would be able to let it all out at a fraction of the hurt. I would be by your side every step of the way.

Lastly, one thing to remember is that your consciousness is your perfect guard. It only allows those memories that are beneficial for you to remember and let go.
_______

* - in rare cases it can take longer. Once I had spent around half an hour literally shaking reliving a traumatic moment - I did not dial it back for myself. I relived it full on, but that used to be my personal preference. That said, I have not encountered a catharsis of beyond a few minutes with my clients so far.

After you relive it, you'd be free. Fearing getting hurt, perceiving the world as hostile, living in suspicion and distrust because of that specific episode will end. You would have successfully reset your memory and your frame of consciousness around trust and security* by the end of the session.

Gaining a new perspective is achieved by tapping into Your Inner Wisdom, a powerful source of wisdom within you. That source always knows how valuable and deserving you are, and what is best for YOU.

The additional bonus is that you will feel more confident, more trustful of yourself, and the world around you, because you had just overcome a major fear and won. You are guaranteed to win, because there is simply no other option available in Your Inner Wisdom.
_______

* - the sense of security and trust pertains to this hypothetical example of a sibling fit. It can be something else in your specific case, such as confidence, self love, or compassion.

Age regression takes you to the first moment in your life when a traumatic moment happened. It is a regression to your childhood.

All trauma is triggered in our childhood. So that's the place where you have to go back to, consciously, to release the blockages and rewire your brain.

Age regression is a powerful tool for personal transformation!

What about a past life regression??

A past life regression is a more colorful and dramatic way to let go of the trauma. If you allow for the concept of reincarnation, you might want to try it, it's fun. You may see yourself as an Egyptian priest or priestess, a king or a queen, a rebel, a witch, OR an alien colonizing the Earth!!

I like past life regression because sometimes it can validate your feelings more so than a regression into childhood (called age regression).

A past life regression can explain why you were feeling the way you were feeling, e.g. being paranoid, anxious or terrified of heights. You would finally see that you were not being "overreacting" or "too sensitive", as you might have been led to believe by others.

A past life regression shows that you had a very good reason to become paranoid, anxious or terrified of heights.

For example, if let's suppose you were indeed traumatized by an incident with a sibling, the thing is that it was not a life threatening situation. You knew that your sibling was just being a brat, and you knew that you'd survive. Although age regressions fully address the issue, they may not explain why you got THAT traumatized by a relatively benign episode.

But if you regress to a past life and see "yourself" die in a battlefield, getting killed by a ninja, or thrown off a cliff, THAT would explain the terror... You'd finally know that you were not being crazy, it was an adequate reaction.

Personally, I love getting to the "bottom" of it. I am open to a possibility that my soul has lived multiple times (in fact I think that soul recycling is responsible!), and I don't care if it's "just my imagination" or "false memory". It works, the symptoms/issues dissipate, I feel lighter, and have an awesome story to brag about. It's a win-win!

BUT!.. validating a coping mechanism is not the most important reason I love past life regressions... In three words, it's Your Inner Wisdom!..

You tap into your inner wisdom when you go to the space called "life between the lives".

What happens is that right after you see yourself "die" in that past life you immediately feel light, harmonious, and at peace. That's when the fun part begins.

You see yourself travel to the spirit world, where you meet your spirit guides, chat with your guardian angels, clarify life lessons, maybe even meet the god almighty herself - whoever that is to you. If you'd disowned feelings or suffered from disassociation, this is when you have a soul retrieval (more about this in the "benefits" below) and reintegrate the fractured psyche.

For the scientific types, all those archetypes, i.e. the guides, the angels, and the god are the parts of the Self. They form the High Self, or the Super Self, as it can be sometimes called. By externalizing them you effectively tap into your inner wisdom. The inner wisdom that has always been there, in-built in your psyche, but that you've been conditioned not to trust since you were little.

In a regression you can reactivate that inner wisdom and start living by your own guidance. It can realign you to your true north, offer a solution, heal trauma and erase the emotional residue from past experiences.

Just think about it: who, better than you, can possibly know what's best for you?? That's right, nobody. There is no better alternative to Your Inner Wisdom.
____

Michael Newton was the first or at least most famous US regression therapist who understood the power of the "life between the lives". He build a practice and a following based on that concept alone.

When you feel like you've lost your true north.

When you feel heavy, stuck, upset, disappointed, lost or unsure about a situation at work, in a relationship or with family...

When you catch yourself in a recurring pattern*...

When you lose your motivation or your mojo despite having achieved all measurable benchmarks of success...

When you find yourself having compromised so much [at work or in a relationship] that you are struggling to remember who YOU really are.

When you have an irrational fear or phobia of heights, insects, closed spaces...

When you have food allergies or physical symptoms such as head aches, anxiety, or panic attacks**.

When you feel exhausted, burned out, waking up more tired than when you went to bed.

When you don't feel the joy from waking up, when you worry and depress yourself, and when you forgot how it feels, to be happy.

When you face a conundrum that nobody can advise you on.

When you feel like you are not living and enjoying your life 100%!
________

* - such as meeting the same kind of man and getting hurt again and again, or hitting the glass ceiling at work in every job for no objective reason, or having money problems despite being a hard worker.

** - regressions are not a substitute for getting a treatment. You can do it in addition, but please by no means go off your medicine.

Because you get much more than a regression. Maximize your learning + healing + impact.

All so that you can live your most clear, joyous, and fulfilled life.

Here's how:

Maximize learning:

Get max learning out of a single session. My goal is not to maximize the number of sessions you do. My goal is to maximize your growth. I want you out there living your best life, being the best version of yourself, not spend hours doing regressions. I make up for "lost" revenue with the striving referral business! (wink wink)

Maximize healing:

Maximize your healing by addressing satellite issues such a disassociation, lost soul, suppressed feelings, soul curse, vows of poverty/celibacy/misery. I do not make you schedule a separate session for those, I tackle it right there and then. However deep you want to go, I'll be right there with you, every step of the way.

Maximize impact:

The work you have done on yourself can inspire others. Share your story, be a leader, a role model - at no time investment from you. Receive Your Inner Wisdom e-book that can be shared with the community - under your name or anonymously.

In addition to the maximum learning, healing and impact you will get:

Work with within your Operating System ("OS"):

Schedule- and value system- wise. You are the most important participant in a regression. So we play by your rules to maximize your growth. Whether this means working with your schedule, getting it done by the top of the hour, or using specific names for the universe/god/creation, we will work within your OS.

Discretion:

I will never sell your data for any reason whatsoever. Discretion is in my professional DNA. For most of my career I had to deal with sensitive information as a professional investor and a banker with the World Bank Group. I will apply the same care with your data. See my privacy policy for more details.

Transparency:

You will have access to all my notes and follow up files for you. You see what I see.

Follow up:

I am religious about follow up. I want to know how you are doing, how the integration is coming along, and how you are faring. Alternatively you can always reach out with a question.

Great question! You don't have to do anything, you can just show up.

To make the most of your session though, watch or/and read how to prepare for your regression.

A regression session is a fascinating experience! In a short time you will have "traveled" to a whole new world that you knew nothing about just a couple of hours prior. And YOU will be its hero! It will be fascinating and fun!

By the end of the session you will get:

1) More clarity

By the end of the session the fog surrounding your situation or issue would clear and you would see yourself and the situation much more clearly.

2) Higher confidence

Regressions are great confidence boosters! By the end of the session you will have connected with yourself in the most nurturing way, seen yourself in a new compassionate light

3) Elevated feeling of self worth

You will have experienced self love, self appreciation, and self worthiness. The key point here is "experiencing". Not hearing, not trying to convince yourself but actually experiencing. It's a highly nurturing state.

4) Relief in symptom(s)

Whatever the symptom that you came with, e.g. a heavy chest or sinking stomach, despair or loneliness - that symptom would feel much more bearable if not at all disappear.

5) Shift in perspective

You will have shifted perspective from victim/helpless/despair to empowered. It always happens and it is remarkable to see every time. This is the highlight of my work.

6) Better mood!

Your mood will have shifted! If you were struggling or pondering about something heavy, the change in the mood will be ever so much more dramatic. It's an extra bonus of doing a regression

7) A cool story to tell!

You will have an amazing, unbelievable yet explaining-so-much story about how you were a pirate of the Caribbean or a queen of Scots. Who knows, maybe you'll end up with a potential Hollywood blockbuster story! Fancy movie royalties?! :))))

8) Opportunity to make a difference for others

You will have just accessed your inner wisdom in a very deep and profound way. You did tough inner work on yourself. Now, you can impact others, who maybe still struggling. You can share your story through an e-book or a podcast or a youtube episode to pass it on.

Regression is a 100% safe and rewarding inner work process with your subconscious. It's safe because it is done under the "supervision" of your consciousness, your best and most eager guard.

Your subconsciousness would protect you from learning anything that could be harmful or traumatic to your psyche.

If you remember something, it means that it is safe for you to remember, it's time to let go of that pattern, and move forward with your life.

Up to you. Yes hypnosis is safe.

Hypnosis is a trance state of mind, which allows you to be both focused and relaxed. These two states allow your brain to become neuroplastic, i.e. for your neural networks to become capable of changing. This is what makes hypnosis so effective at treating trauma - you "rewire" your brain, "heal" the trauma. And, this is what makes hypnosis so effective at skill rehearsal (it's been used in sports to improve athletes' performance for decades).

Hypnosis is absolutely safe, because you remain conscious at all times. Your consciousness plays a role of a gatekeeper. It will not allow you remember anything that may re-traumatize you. So, the answer is yes, hypnosis is safe.

Trance is an alternate state of consciousness. Trance is a spectrum from light (you are relaxed) to deep (deep hypnosis). To achieve light trance we do a quick exercise to relax your body and relax your mind. That's it, you are ready to go.

Trance is 100% safe because it is done when you are fully conscious. Your consciousness guards the process.

For more details about the regression process see the next FAQ, "What is the regression process like?"

Here's the breakdown of the typical session:

1 Prepare

We start by identifying the issue you'd like to address. You fill out an online form ahead of the session. When we meet, we review and zoom in on the most important question/blockage you would like to work on during the session.

2 Off we go!

You get comfortable, close your eyes and we begin. There are two variations of the process I use: hypnosis and trans. I intuitively choose one or the other for each client. Both are equally powerful. If you have a preference, you can let me know.

3 Age regression (optional)

Sometimes, if necessary, I may start with a regression into your childhood, before regressing you into a past life. If you definitely want to make this stop, or if you want to focus on childhood only, let me know.

4 Past life: an aha moment!

When you recall a past life memory, you will relive the emotions that caused your issue or blockage. It can be uncomfortable, and even painful. Not to worry! We can regulate how intensely you are feeling those emotions. Our goal is that you have an aha moment about what caused your current blockage.

5 Past life: explore!

After we discover the root cause of your "regression request" we may explore that lifetime, if it presents interest (I have encountered fascinating memories of lives in Atlantis, dragons or giants - those I personally would want to get more details about!). As always - your call!

6 Past life: death

Then we move on to your "death". This is another powerful moment in a regression, because it can reset your perception of death, if it was fearful. You will see that death feels like an instant relief. You no longer feel the pain, you are free and floating.

7 Life between lives

This is where you tap into Your Inner Wisdom. You connect with the higher aspects of your Self. You meet your spirit guides or guardian angels, or speak directly to your High Self - depending on your value system, download the wisdom and perspective on the issue you are dealing with. You also receive the lesson(s) of that lifetime and this.

8 Extras (need-based):

If in the process I see that you need an additional process(es), I facilitate those for you as well. The extra processes may be soul retrieval, a progression, or a linked lifetime. of it as a sequel. It is infrequent, but it's an option.

12 Wrap-up: gratitude

At the end you thank your inner wisdom, your inner world and yourself for this beautiful conversation, wish yourself everything that you'd like to wish, and open your eyes. You are done!

Success! Congrats!

Well done! Congratulations on completing a regression, learning more about yourself, and reconnecting with your inner wisdom!

Regression comes naturally to approximately 90% of people. Almost everybody can regress from the first attempt.

If you cannot, I will be happy to suggest an alternative course of action.

If the pain is too intense for your comfort, we will immediately dial it back, so that you can get the benefit of catharsis without the overwhelm of reliving the negative emotions.

Just indicate to me that it's too intense, and we would dial it back.

We can dial the intensity of emotions back by a percentage. For example, we would dial it back by 50%, 75%, 95% or anywhere in between.

Absolutely yes. Approximately 50% of my clients don't believe in past lives.

If you don't believe in past lives we can do an age regression, i.e. regression to your childhood. ALL of our traumas are triggered in childhood.

For the healing purposes regressing to childhood is ENOUGH.

I have tested this extensively on myself. For a given issue I would regress myself into childhood and then into a past life. What I've found is that childhood was sufficient for the healing purposes.

Moreover, in some cases it gave a better explanation of why I was feeling the way I was feeling. In others however, the "past life" regression explained things better.

1. Age regression (regression to your childhood)

2. Prenatal (regression to the time you were in your mom's womb).

3. Past life regression (see the FAQ "What is a past life regression?" for more details).

4. Progression (a regression "forward", i.e. going into a future life or a future point in your current life. Usually is done to access a resourceful state like inspiration, joy, confidence).

I will help you. In many cases I would do at least two types in the same session.

For example, I would combine age and past life regression, or past life + progression. So you would get a taste of at least two.

Age and prenatal regressions are actually the same type: you already have your consciousness, so the source of trauma can be your "childhood" before you were born.

If you have a preference about what type of regression you want, I'd be happy to accommodate you.

No, they are all equally powerful. You will get the same healing with any type of regression.

"Soul retrieval" is a shamanic ritual which refers to what is called disassociation: when our psyche fragments itself and "sacrifices'' the traumatized fragment in order to preserve itself. Most commonly such a person cannot feel the full spectrum of their feelings.

Soul curse is a very powerful self-inflicted damage or limitation, imposed in a moment of an intense emotional state such as anger, disappointment, disillusionment or grief/loss.

For example, a person used to only care about money and power in some past life. It somehow links to a big loss, e.g. a loss of a loved one. The person blames herself for the loss, and decides that "money is evil and/or that "I will never touch money again". This can transpire in the current life through lack of money.

When we find a soul curse, we lift it and rewrite your coping mechanism to free you from this self-imposed limitation.

Yes, you are healed from the issue that you addressed in the regression. It is going to take time to integrate the healing however. Integration takes anywhere between one and 5-6 weeks depending on the issue.

Read what to do after a regression for details.

Integration takes place in your subconscious mind. Your job is to observe and take care of yourself. When suppressed negative energies come up, you may feel annoyed, cranky, be more vulnerable to life's stresses and irritations. Please take care of yourself for the next 6 weeks.

Journal, take it easy on yourself, imagine that you are your own patient, treat yourself with utmost care and compassion. Ping me if you experience anything uncomfortable.

Once you have integrated this healing, another issue may come to the surface - the one you were not aware of before - this is normal. All it means is that now you have the inner resource to be aware of deeper issues. It's a great sign. Keep going, your best life is around the corner!

During the session we will develop a ritual for you to do anytime you want to access your inner wisdom.

It can be connecting with your spirit guides, your guardian angels, God/source/creation/universe, or your own Higher Self.

That ritual is easy to do on your own, you will be completely self-sufficient in accessing your inner wisdom.

Regressions are my passion. I think that regressions are the most accessible and most profound tool for connecting with yourself and your inner wisdom; releasing blockages, healing past trauma, and getting to know yourself.

I have used regressions for my own healing for over 15 years now. The results have been nothing short of amazing. I've recently counted how many fears/symptoms/phobias I have healed with regressions and it was over a 100!

By "healed" I mean they disappeared completely! The examples are food allergies, phobias of insects/snakes, anxiety. I used to be super sensitive about betrayal, rejection, loneliness, abandonment - regressions helped me release those sensitivities. I have released numerous neuroses and became calmer, more positive and relaxed.

My story with regressions started in 2007, when I worked at a hedge fund in New York.

A colleague handed me a book by Brian Weiss, Many Lives, Many Masters. It made an impression.

I am not religious but soul recycling [the way I see reincarnation] made sense to me. And I did believe we had a soul. Only soul can explain all the longing and yearning that humans experience (at least some of them). If there's a soul, there's got to be recycling. Otherwise those souls, unlucky to live just a few hours, go wasted.

I loved Brian Weiss' story, and at the very next session asked my shrink if I can do a past life regression. The rest is history.

My first past life memory was of a life in Egypt as a some sort of local prince/ king/ ruler.

He was blond with blue eyes (makes no sense for Egypt does it?!). He was in love with this one woman since childhood. He had always loved her. No other women existed for him. He even made an exemption for her: at the time women had to choose between education (i.e. becoming a priestess) or motherhood. He let her do both (I feared she would have chosen education) just to make her his.

Then he went off to a war and spend 8 years away from home. Upon return he finds out that she'd cheated on him with high priest. Devastated, he was unable even see her. Typically she would have been executed, if he so wished. But instead, he left his country at twilight, and went back to the place which he had won in a war.

He was so crushed by the news, that he disowned love. He told himself: "if this kind of love: complete, unconditional, eternal could not get me her to love back, then what is the point to love at all??" That explained my situation: I had not allowed myself to fall in love, in fact I avoided men who gave me butterflies.

Crazy isn't it?

I've done over a hundred past life regressions and approximately as many age regressions. I usually regress myself and sometimes I get regressed by someone else. A couple of times I had past life memories during holotropic breath sessions, and once I had a spontaneous past life memory recollection when I visited a Situ temple in Abydos, Egypt.

Every time I am amazed at how accurately the story I see reflects the issue I am dealing with at that moment.

You see, in reality you regress yourself. So, the quality of regression is entirely in your hands: how open you are, and how much you want to get better.

My commitment to you is to provide the best support possible for your max growth. My intention is to maximize the learning and healing you receive during your session.

I pack your session with all kinds of goodies to help you take your session to the next level.

After the session is done I equip you to become a role model for others, following in your footsteps.

You can do it without spending a minute of your time with a beautiful Your Inner Wisdom book you receive after the session.
