Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy
Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy
Description of Rapid Eye Therapy
Rapid Eye Therapy is a process of blinking and eye movements which, through simulating REM sleep, physiologically releases stress, trauma, unwanted patterns, and limiting core beliefs from neural pathways. The website of the founder, Ranae Johnson, PhD, includes a video demonstration of the process of Rapid Eye Therapy.
Who can benefit from Rapid Eye Therapy
According to some surveys, as many as 25 percent of Americans currently meet diagnostic criteria for clinical depression or anxiety disorders. If you are among these, and want to change this with the help of a completely natural, drug-free process, you may be a candidate for Rapid Eye Therapy. RET can also help with overcoming creativity blocks, clarifying life goals, or changing relationship or financial patterns. It can assist with the healing of physical symptoms, by releasing the emotional and mental components of disease and injury.
How Rapid Eye Therapy works
When we sleep and dream, our eyes move under our closed eyelids, in the process of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. One of the purposes of REM sleep is to release, from our neural pathways, stress which has accumulated during our non-sleep hours. However, some stress does not release in our sleep, because it stores in channels which began forming in our earliest lives.
For instance, if someone yelled at you when you were one year old, then again something happened which emotionally reminded you of that when you were ten, or fourteen, or forty-three, the stress and painful associations with each related occurrence, rather than being released in your REM sleep, may have stored in your cell memory. Painful emotions may be stored, and so may limiting thoughts, such as, "Life is not safe"; "I can't trust people"; or "I am a bad person". These limiting core beliefs and stored emotions can profoundly limit our ability to create fulfillment for ourselves.
In Rapid Eye Therapy, the therapist uses an eye directing device (a wand) to lead you in a process of eye movements and blinking, which tricks the mind into thinking you are in REM sleep, in order to open neurological channels and release stress, painful stored emotions, and limiting core beliefs. This can relieve the sufferings which result from a particular trauma; or, if you opt for the whole process of approximately twelve 2-hour sessions, it can reframe a lifetime of emotional pain and negative patterns. In the twelve session program, we go through birth and child stages, clearing out any negativities or misdirections which may have been stored at those times. The final parts of each session are set aside for reframings, in which you can blink in and store in your neural pathways whatever you want in your life and your thought processes, to replace any negative messages or habit patterns.
What
you might experience in a Rapid Eye Therapy session
People respond differently, in the course of their RET sessions. Some release intense emotions; some feel sensations moving around, in their bodies; some get floods of rapidly-moving-through memories. Some do not feel so much during sessions, but may have memories or feelings come up between sessions, or simply experience their lives changing for the better. The process is recommended for people who are very much ready to let go of the old and to move into profound change and deep healing.
Description of Heart Centered Hypnotherapy
Heart Centered Hypnotherapy combines hypnotherapy with developmental, behavioral, and humanistic (gestalt; transactional analysis) psychologies as a powerful way to assist people in accessing the source of problems, helping them to reconnect with dissociated emotions and disowned parts of themselves. In trance, clients directly access the body's memories and associations, re-experiencing then reframing prenatal, perinatal, and childhood events. The session ends with self-acceptance and identification with the most loving part of oneself. The corrective experience for the client includes a heart-centered connection and, at times, a personal transformative experience of great clarity.
HCH was developed by Diane Zimberoff, MA, founder of The Wellness Institute in Issaquah, Washington.
What You Might Experience in an HCH Session
The client is gently guided into a deeply relaxed trance state, in which both ego strengthening and memory regressions are facilitated. HCH uses specific techniques to assist the client in releasing fear, anger, and powerlessness. Expressing the inner states helps clients to experience and change these, the change coming when the client moves from the individual unconscious level to transpersonal levels of clarity and awareness. This is an experiential therapy in which we trust the client's unconscious to select spontaneously the most relevant material to bring into conscious insight. The process activates the self-healing force which is within each individual.
HCH is useful for healing shock and trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger issues, creativity blocks, mind/body issues, unwanted relationship patterns, and confusion about life direction and purpose.
Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy
Most people can recall information about their past lives when in hypnotic trance. This can bring spiritual perspective to one's current life and can also help sometimes to heal current symptoms and patterns.
Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy
Description of Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy
More than 20 years ago, Michael Newton, PhD, began discovering that clients in deep hypnotic trance could recall information regarding what occurs after the death of their physical bodies, as the soul lives on between incarnations. In 1994, he wrote his first book, Journey of Souls, followed by Destiny of Souls (2000) and Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression (2004).
LBL hypnotherapy involves induction of clients into deep trance, in order to access what hypnotherapists call "superconsciousness". To reach this place, the client is regressed through pleasant or neutral memories of childhood, into mother's womb, then into the client's last past life. The client is guided through the dying from that life into the spirit world, where there can be many different experiences.
I am certified in Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy by Linda Backman, PhD, who formerly taught with Dr. Newton.
You will probably receive a mixture of impressions, generally tactile, visual, or intuitive. Clients consistently report perceiving entities of various descriptions: usually these are identifiable as various levels of guides or as the souls of people whom you have known in your current lifetime. All of these beings will probably have information for you, and all of them can be asked questions. There will be indications of your soul's level of development and feedback on how you are doing and on what lessons you are meant to be learning in your present life. You will be able to report verbally on all of this while remaining in deep trance; I will tape it and give you the tape to bring home after the session.
Although some people receive impressions more vividly and readily than others, anyone who is willing to trust the process should be able to receive information, with the ability to do so increasing as the session advances. Even if your mind tends to try to tell you that you are making it up, you will notice that the various guides and souls you encounter often speak differently than you do, and often speak words of great poetry, mystery, and wisdom. That's because they, and the places you are visiting in trance, are wholly real!
For me, the most remarkable aspect of the sessions is their ability to move you into that powerful expanded state of consciousness in which you recognize with certainty that you soul identity never dies. Additionally, you receive information which puts any perceived difficulties in your current life into spiritual perspective; you get a sense of who you really are, at a soul level; you receive feedback about what you need to do to progress spiritually (and, sometimes, materially) in your current life; you lessen your fear of death; and you gain a felt sense of being guided, supported and loved – through eternity!
I ask clients to bring with them to their sessions a list of 8 to 10 people, either currently alive or deceased, who have been significant to them, with whose soul essences they would like to visit. Also clients are asked to bring a list of 5 or 6 questions about their current lives which they would like to have answered by their guides and own higher consciousness.
For stopping smoking, I offer brief cognitive hypnosis, which works in a single session for about 80% of clients; others may require additional sessions. My sessions are two hours long.
Sometimes the fastest and most profound healings can occur in group work, since interpersonal relationships mirror and magnify our psychological issues. As we relate honestly with one another in a group, we learn about the ways we tend to block expressing and receiving, and practice expanding our capacities in those directions. Group therapy can be particularly effective in helping to heal depression and anxiety, since those symptoms are often signals that we are not being true to our deepest inner wisdom, especially in the presence of others.
My groups are primarily psychodynamic, based on the work of Irwin Yalom, author of Group Process in Psychotherapy. They cost just $20 per session, with eight week commitment requested, and take place in my home in Milwaukie, several miles south of S.E. Portland.
Energy psychologies are cutting-edge therapies, perhaps on track to make all other forms of psychotherapy obsolete! In the form I practice, the client starts with a specific intent: for instance, "I am slim and trim and eat exactly what is best for my body", or "I make plenty of money doing fulfilling work which I love." I use a pendulum or manual muscle testing to identify various levels of blockage that sabotage the intention, following this with a variety of energetic interventions to move out the blockages. After clearing various levels of self doubt and self-sabotaging thoughts and emotions, we go to energetic origins of the blockages, which may be ancestral, past life, or between lives, as well as current life. Usually there are numerous layers and varieties of obstacles in the energy fields, which the process, via the agency of helping spirits, collapses.
I began training in energy psychology in October 2008 and am currently (2009) still in training with Howard Brockman, LCSW, author of Dynamic Energetic Healing: Integrating Core Shamanic Practices With Energy Psychology Applications and Processwork Principles.
After a brief stint as a lawyer (1974 - 1980), I returned to school and received a degree in counseling psychology from Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon, in 1985. I worked first in alcohol and drug treatment than began my private practice in 1990, practicing psychodynamic therapy (in-depth talk therapy).
I've taken many classes and trainings over the years. The ones most relevant to my current work include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), 1996; Rapid Eye Therapy, 1999; Clinical Hypnotherapy, 2000; Past Life Regression and Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy, 2006; and Heart Centered Hypnotherapy®, 2008, with continuing advanced training in Heart Centered Hypnotherapy® scheduled for 2009 and 2010.
I began training in Dynamic Energy Healing in October 2008 with Howard Brockman, LCSW. The training is continuing, and I hope to be formally certified in DEH by late 2010.
My fee ranges from $75.00 to $150.00 per session. If you have health insurance that covers services of Licensed Professional Counselors, it may cover all or part of my fees.
