Regression and Past Life Therapy

Roger Woolger PhD who is considered internationally to be one of the leading pioneers in Regression Therapy has developed a method of regression called Deep Memory Process (DMP) which unlike other regression practices is not solely hypnotic regression. DMP works with the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels in one comprehensive process. It is a therapeutic process for recurring problems not for curiosity about past lives.

DMP is a creative therapeutic synthesis of Jungian active imagination, psychodramatic role play, shamanic healing, various body therapies and transpersonal psychology. Throughout the process you remain completely conscious and aware of your surroundings.

This is worth considering for the following:

•  To resolve childhood and other traumas
•  Recognise the limiting patterns running your life
•  Difficulties in relationships
•  Anxiety, phobias, aches, chronic pain and emotional blockages

After an initial interview the process starts with you lying down and relaxing. During the interview the therapist notices where the charge is in what you have brought to focus on and uses those to guide you into whatever images, words or feelings intensify. You are encouraged to follow them so that a story, from this life or a past life, appears. This is then followed with a psychodrama where you relive it and by doing so release the blocked energy from the old trauma. It is the same principle successfully used with victims of war neurosis, according to which it is only possible to free oneself from trauma by recalling it. In doing so it can release you from it on mental, emotional and somatic levels as the whole of you now knows it is over and past. There are cathartic interventions, revisiting the scenes, re-enacting them where you now have the resources you didn't have at the time and healing of the wounds. Some talking therapies take longer and only work on intellectual and interpretative levels which may leave the old fears replaying dissociated in the body and emotional level; this is a complete healing process.

A session usually takes two hours to cover the three stages, of the process: interview, intensive work followed by reflection and recovery. This is then incorporated into the person's therapeutic process as a whole. A series of sessions is usual and can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies.
