Course Description:
This 8-week online course explores regressive hypnosis—a therapeutic technique used to access and resolve past experiences (childhood, past lives, or subconscious memories) that influence present behaviors and emotions. Students will learn ethical regression methods, age regression techniques, and how to facilitate healing through guided exploration.
Regressive Hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic technique that guides individuals into a deeply relaxed state to access and resolve past experiences, traumas, or suppressed memories stored in the subconscious mind. This course provides comprehensive training in regressive hypnosis, teaching participants how to facilitate healing, self-discovery, and profound personal transformation. Through guided hypnosis, clients can revisit past events—whether from childhood, past lives, or even in-between incarnations—to uncover the root causes of present-day challenges. By reprocessing these experiences with new awareness, individuals can release emotional blockages, overcome limiting beliefs, and achieve lasting emotional and psychological freedom.
