Regression is a common tool of Hypnotherapy and can take a Client back to their childhood or some other time to release the memory of trauma or bad habit. This can be a shocking experience for some and a good therapist organises the Hypnotherapy session to lessen any pain that the client may feel when regression is used. Sometimes the regression has to be done several times for the sub-conscious mind to agree to release a bad habit. Its quite amazing what the sub-conscious will do. One lady that came to my practice had a bent toe. It was so bad she had trouble finding shoes. After 2 hypnotherapy sessions her toe straightened out for the first time in over 40 years and she was delighted. The cause of her bent toe was her sub-conscious holding onto the bent position after a painful operation and just never letting go. This is the powerful sub-conscious mind and what it can do. Just think of all the good that can be done when this is harnessed for your benefit and radical change for the good brought into your life. FORENSIC REGRESSION This is when a person is regressed to try and access information in relation to a crime. It might be recalling a car number plate or detail that gets lost in the usual memory pattern. Its surprising what the sub-conscious can recall and bring back during the hypnotherapeutic trance.
