What is Regression Therapy?
Regression Therapy (RT) is a specialized therapeutic approach that uses gentle hypnotic states to access and heal past experiences affecting present-day wellbeing.

This powerful modality can address various challenges, including Stress, Panic Attacks, Anxiety & Depression Childhood Trauma & PTSD Relationships issues. By accessing root causes of current difficulties, clients often experience significant relief and positive change within 3-5 sessions.
Theoretical Foundation
Regression Therapy builds on the psychoanalytic principles established by Sigmund Freud, combining elements of hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis. The approach recognizes that unprocessed experiences, particularly from childhood, can significantly impact current behavior and emotional patterns. The EARTH Association, founded in 2006, maintains international standards for regression therapy practice.
How Regression Therapy Works
A typical session lasts about two hours and consists of two main phases:
- Memory Exploration: The therapist guides you into a relaxed state to access relevant memories and associations
- Transformation: Working through difficult aspects using active imagination and reframing techniques
Clients remain conscious and in control throughout the process while accessing deeper levels of awareness. The therapist creates a safe, supportive environment for emotional release and healing.
