What do you think about regression therapy?

I had theraputic hypnosis, one time. It was nothing like I expected it to be. I felt in total control the entire time, leading me to believe I wasn’t even hyptonized. However, a very important realization came out of it, so I now believe I was and that it helped immensely.

A: TY for your response! For me, it was the only time i had left a therapists office feeling like i had less problems than when i went in LOL (did it 2x before for @6mos in hs and college, talk therapy type)

I didn’t feel like I had fewer problems, but like I had finally figured out what the real problem was (not a repressed memory or anthing dramatic like that, just misplaced anger). Once I finally had that insight, working on the problem(s) became much more effective!

Yes, I would agree

Hypnosis FTW, I too have done that. :)

I think regression therapy is a bit silly though, then again I’ve never tried it. The only way you could know if it would help you though is to try in a safe and comfortable way with someone you trust very much. If you’re asking because you’re considering it, I wish you the best of luck.

The mind does most of its thinking “underground.” It’s possible that much of the time, what comes up in a regression session is manufactured on the spot as a response to suggestion. There are many cases where “repressed memories” where in fact completely made up and utterly fictional. However, the content of these untrue memories can still serve as a window into the psyche of the person making them.
