Regression Therapy and Healing
In hypnotherapy, regression is a technique we utilise to access and explore repressed memories on the understanding that repressed memories create symptoms. Most memories in regression work however are known about – what is repressed are the feelings, thoughts and unconscious fantasies which the memory provokes. Working through these from different perspectives, in and out of the trance, and gaining new insights can alleviate the client’s symptoms and create change.
Regression as a term also denotes a particular type of defence mechanism, a reversion to earlier developmental stages and mind states.
History and Development Regression therapy primarily developed out of the theories and techniques of hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis, with their emphasis on rediscovering details of past events to solve current conflicts and emotions. Hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis both rose in popularity in the 1950s as the field of psychology began to embrace the belief that the past was the cause of turmoil in people’s lives.
Sigmund Freud, who developed the concept of bringing the unconscious to the conscious, was a prominent figure during the growth of psychoanalysis, and many of his ideas informed the development of regression therapy.
