Age Regression Therapy
Regression Therapy is a technique where we heal past wounds and hurts by regressing back in time. It basically involves a lot of inner child work. Inner Child Work is a concept that states that whenever we go through any bitter, difficult, or challenging experience that we are not able to fully deal with it causes a part of our consciousness to break apart and separate from us.
As such experiences keep collecting we have a major portion of our consciousness unhealed and disintegrated. Using inner child work we release the repressed emotion and bring wisdom to the misunderstood part of the story. This empowers our consciousness to heal itself thus integrating back with our current adult state.
As more and more consciousness is brought back to the adult, the personality becomes whole and complete and is able to take complete charge of its life releasing the burden of the past and just taking along the acquired learning.
The exploration of the past helps us to understand the cause of a certain effect which is still running in our lives. We go into the past not to change the past but to change the consequences of the past. Regression is of two types: Age Regression & Past Life Regression.
Age Regression involves exploration of the past in the current life itself. Initial steps involve detective work where we search for the cause of the events then on, we do, healing work where through understanding, awareness, insights & realization we undo the effects under which the client is still operating.
Past Life Regression involves exploration of a life lived prior to the current life which is like an X Ray as it gives a clear understanding of why certain unwanted experiences occurred in a client’s life. Whereas past life regression therapy includes healing the unhealed parts of one’s consciousness.
Detective work is followed by healing work which involves catharsis i.e., release of toxic emotions & gaining one’s learning & wisdom hidden behind those events.
What Is Age Regression?
Age regression is a temporary or long-term reversal of behavior to earlier states of development. It is normal and expected in children but also occurs in adulthood.
Book a SessionPeople sometimes revert to childlike behavior to cope with trauma, stress, severe illness, or mental health disorders. Age regression can be unconscious (involuntary) or conscious (voluntary) behavior.
A subtle example is when a person who sucked their thumb as a child chews on a pen because they are stressed or trying to think. More severe regressions can include crying in a fetal position and bed-wetting.1
Age regression may occur with stress, traumatic memories, or triggers but then recede when these stressors abate. Regressive behaviors can be more persistent when they are related to a neurological condition like head trauma or dementia.
