Excellent episode Cal and Celeste! I just spoke to someone last weekend at Solid Gold who had expressed concerns about using age regression when dealing with trauma and PTSD, so I really appreciate your additional insights. I have had very good success in using 5-PATH with people who have experienced traumatic events. It is an excellent tool to help people in so many ways! I also appreciate the discussion about secondary gain in this episode.
I've heard a similar rumor, so it must be true! I'm thrilled to have the chance to give back by helping out. This podcast is a great resource for all of us, and I'm very honored to be part of it!
Podcast should have been titled "Is 5-path appropriate for the survivors of The Walking Dead?" Totally dived into an episode marathon this month as well!
One quick note - To all you Hypno-Mug winners, you have until 30 days after we mention your name on the podcast to contact us so that we can send you your mug. So don't wait around. If you know someone who won a mug please let them know. We have some unclaimed mugs and we don't want to hold on to them forever!
So glad to see this subject discussed and so glad to see some sense being said,
although I suppose I was more interested in the abreaction side of regression. I think those who object to doing AR on PTSD or even stable clients do so because they are frightened of offending or putting them through a bit of pain. But they would quite happily send their child to hospital for a painful operation to put things right.
so grateful for your time
Graham.
Thanks for you comment Graham - The release of the old pent up emotion is an essential part of overcoming past trauma. Consulting hypnotists should not be afraid of taking clients through these situations (AR), but hypnotists who use age regression need sufficient training to do it properly. And, as you know there is much more to doing AR for traumatic events that simply providing a client with an emotional release opportunity.
It is so amazing how a few minutes in the properly trained hypnotist's chair can undo so much pain, even if it must be temporarily endured during a hypnosis session.
I do a form of age regression, called the NLP TimeLine process. I find it very helpful for clearing limiting decisions in my clients that are at the heart of dysfunctional patterns.
Hi Jane & thanks for your comment. I know about NLP's TimeLine process. It has helped a lot of people. I think you will like true age regression as well. I have come to believe that it is a better way to go for those who are trained in hypnosis. Thanks again! Cal

I would like to be properly trained Cal but I live in England, I'm not that well off and I'm not much of a studious type.
