Regression Therapists

The regression therapists of the Spiritual Regression Therapy Association follow the holistic principle that a person’s illness or condition reflects a deep emotional wound. These do not manifest randomly, but when emotional, psychological or spiritual stresses have affected or weakened the body’s defences. The therapists offer in-personal or internet regression therapy session and work internationally including UK, Europe, USA Australia, Singapore and Asia.

​Regression Therapy resolves emotions such as anger, anxiety, shame, depression, anxiety, powerlessness, or guilt. It can help with physical symptoms such as phantom pains, headaches, tendencies for repeated infection, allergies, post traumatic stress and other conditions. 

 

A broad range of medical issues have been effectively treated by medical doctor using regression therapy such as infertility, repeated loss of consciousness, asthma and autoimmune disorders. 

 

While the outcomes of regression therapy can manifest anytime from days to months after the session, the healing effects are frequently dramatic and often exceed expectations. It is not uncommon to hear of clients feeling transformed in such a way that the measurable symptoms of their problem disappear completely in a few sessions.

​

Regression Therapists help people uncover the source of their challenge in the current life that can be rooted in a tragic event, or a series of traumatic ones, or in suppressed and unresolved childhood  experiences. 

 

As a protective mechanism against hurtful unexpressed emotions, the mind learns to anaesthetise their intensity and block them off from conscious awareness. This leaves behind a wound of unexpressed emotions that can spill over in emotional outbursts or produce physically symptoms such as a headache, difficulty sleeping, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue or another psychosomatic illness. 

 

The body always carries the memory of traumatic events and needs to be involved by using body therapy. The importance of working with body memories to clear trauma has been independently confirmed by psychiatrists including Bessel van der Kolk the Director of the Trauma Centre at Boston University.

 

There is a physiological need to release stress to restore balance, and regression therapy enables this to take place. When clients understand why they are ill, the blocked emotions released, and they are able to give and receive love and extend forgiveness to those who have wronged them, complete healing takes place.

​

 

Some regression therapists offer sessions by the internet as an alternative to in person sessions. The person will need to have a room free from disturbance, an internet that is stable with upload or download speeds in excess of 5Mb, a laptop with a camera built in, and a headset with microphone. The internet speed can be checked using https://www.speedtest.net.  The regression therapist assists people to becoming familiar with the technology. If the internet fails for any reason the regression therapist will discuss and agree a backup which may be a mobile switched into silent mode.

In a mechanistic view of the world medicine is considered as the only kind that will really work. For anything to be considered real, and knowledge regarded as trustworthy, there must be measurable and reproducible parameters. When applied to healthcare, this worldview has two implications. Firstly, the inner world of emotions will not be valued in terms of having real influence on physical wellbeing, because emotions are not quantifiable. Secondly, the physical world will be considered the most important dimension in terms of exerting the strongest healing influence on the human body.

 

At odds with this view, regression therapy works on the premise that emotional disturbances are at the root of a patient’s illness, and precedes the disturbance in physiological well being. It propounds the need to simultaneously treat the emotions, mind and spirit, in addition to the body, in order for the individual to self-adjust. This holistic approach respects the human individual for his capacity to heal himself, and regards the patient as an active partner rather than a passive recipient of care.

 

 

 

Experiences within the womb may lead to profound influences on an individual’s adult life. The unborn baby is physiologically connected to the mother and psychologically surrounded by her emotional energy. In itself, the unborn baby lacks emotional defences and is unable to escape from the impact of the mother’s emotional state.

 

 

 

​​Sigmund Freud introduced the idea of trauma memories in the unconscious mind being brought to conscious awareness for healing. Carl Jung’s contribution was active imagination and the use of  guided imagery techniques that are also used in Regression Therapy.

​

British psychiatrist Alexander Cannon in the 1950's regressed over 1400 patients with symptoms that were not responding to conventional therapy with significant improvements. In the 1970s hypnotic age regression had become generally accepted by the medical profession. 

 

The First World Congress for Regression Therapy was held in the Netherlands in 2003. In the summer of 2006, the Earth Association of Regression Therapy (EARTh) was founded in Frankfurt. A few years later, Andy Tomlinson, who has been active as a trainer in regression techniques since 2002, founded the Spiritual Regression Therapy Association and Norsk forbund for Regresjonsterapi in Scandinavia.

 

In 2013 an international meeting of psychiatrists, medical doctors and clinical psychologists that were using regression therapy formed the Society for Medical Advance and Research in Regression Therapy.  The Society published its first book, Inner Healing Journey – A Medical Perspective, in which six medical doctors, including two psychiatrists, shared eleven client healing stories using Regression Therapy.

A single worldwide standard for regression therapy has been created by all the leading regression therapy training schools and managed by the Earth Association for Regression Therapy.

 

The Spiritual Regression Therapy Association members meet and exceed this standard from the regression and past life therapy training by the Past Life Regression Academy that is also accredited by the International Board for Regression Therapy and recognised by the UK Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
