The next part of my search brings me to past life regression therapy. Past life regression is a therapeutic technique for gaining access to and re-experiencing your past lives openly. As a branch of hypnotherapy, past life regression therapy has grown over the last 50 years and has become a significant addition to the healing arts. Some people try past life regression simply because they are curious to see who they were in the past. But for most, it’s a path for personal growth and healing. I decided to try and contact someone with the expertise in this field.
My next interview brought me to Deborah Pietruszka from Quakertown, Pennsylvania. She is a certified hypnotherapist, with over 500 hours of training, and also a NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programing) Master Practitioner. NLP is a type of psychology that instructs people how to achieve excellence in their lives. On her website, Serendipity Meadows, it explains that it is achieved through better self-understanding involving thinking, the sensory system, communication, and behavior. She provides a variety of services including past life regression hypnotherapy and readings. In

She only does hypnotherapy in person and since we live in states 1,350 miles away from each other, our other option was an over the phone reading. She continued to explain to me that the reason she does hypnotherapy only in person is because she has to watch her clients. During the hypnotherapy, you experience each past life yourself. You might experience the memory of your past lives as a vivid movie or see only imprecise flashes of images. She says, “You sense it, feel it, and even see it.” Some people may feel an overwhelming amount of anxiety and she’s there to help them get to a “happy place” for relaxation. Even though that option was not available for me, I was still excited to go through the reading over the
Using this technique will enable her to get in touch with those hidden feelings and allow her to express these in an unforced manner. Getting her to a state of near-hypnosis and entering into a question and response sequence that can proceed into more pertinent territory (eg, starting with “for breakfast I had…” / “my favourite pastime is…” following on with more probing statements “when I see my father I feel…” / “I feel secure when…”).
By having a good understanding of modalities, hypnotherapists are able to personalise screeds specifically to the individual. When a client’s modality is ascertained it is then possible to talk to them in a way that they feel most
The building of rapport is often considered one of the most important aspects of a Hypnotherapists work, discuss.
When a client first goes to a hypnotherapy appointment, the main reason why they are there is to receive help with a problem or issue that they would like to resolve. The very first hypnotherapy consultation is important for therapists to use this time to understand the client’s needs and make sure they have the best plan of action to help the client achieve their goal. In this essay I will discuss what is to be expected in an initial consultation appointment and the ethical elements the therapist will have to cover to ensure the first consultation (and possible subsequent consultations) are successful.
What is hypnosis? Hypnosis has amazing benefits and can enhance people lives in many ways. In modern times, it is unfortunate that Hypnosis is seen as a method of entertaining people instead of it being respected for its true aspects. In reality, hypnosis bears little resemblance to these stereotyped images, as it can improve focus and general well-being mentally and physically. It is a cooperative interaction in which the participant responds to the suggestions of the hypnotist. It can also be described as a sleep like trance state or better expressed as a relaxed creative mind, focused by the individual. Despite stories about people being hypnotised out of their consent hypnosis requires voluntary participation on the part of the
We will look at these in more detail to understand what changes might occur in the subject at each stage. The objective is, broadly speaking, to facilitate a trance-like state in the subject which enables easier access to the subconscious. After the therapy, there would typically be a period of reflection wherein the subject is encouraged to discuss how the therapy felt and what next steps they might take. However, for the purposes of answering the question ‘What is Hypnosis?’, we will focus primarily on the four key stages.
In this essay I will be discussing why an initial consultation in hypnotherapy is so important. I will be talking about the questions a hypnotherapist should ask their client and the ethical factors and contraindications the therapist should be looking out for. Whether a person is aiming to improve their self-esteem or reduce their anxiety the hypnotherapist will need to understand the client before proceeding with the therapy. I will show that an initial consultation is always a huge must before carrying out proceeding sessions on a client but there are also cons on regards to the factors that the therapist may face.
The purpose of this essay is to describe and explain the uses of hypnotherapy in the treatment of a medical condition. For this essay I have chosen to look at a chronic life limiting illness called Motor Neurone Disease. This is a disease that can affect many different aspects of a person’s life and is very aggressive in its symptoms. I have met quite a few people with this condition whilst working in the Neurophysiology department at the QMC, where all the nerve and muscles studies and EMG’s are performed. It not only changes the person’s life but also the lives of the people around them. I found this research both upsetting and informative.
This essay will explore the difference between permissive and authoritarian approaches in hypnotherapy. Included will be history of the two approaches, background of the way they work and practical examples to show the influence they have on clients. Gathering information through various means (which will be discussed in this essay) will help the hypnotherapist create a personalized induction. The essay will explore this personalized induction and see if it will always be most effective to use a script that is modified of tailor made for the particular client.
As a hypnotherapist, I would first conduct an initial consultation with Ms. E in order to establish whether hypnotherapy is the right treatment for her and whether I can treat her ethically, ensuring that the treatment is within my competency limits as a therapist and as well as identifying her medical history.

The Building Of Rapport Is Often Considered One Of The Most Important Aspects Of A Hypnothrapists’ Work, Discuss
Hypnotherapy refers to an “interaction between two people, one of whom is identified as the hypnotist, the other as the subject” (Heap and Naish) The
Hypnosis is an intense state of consciousness in which the psychologist asks several specific questions to either alleviate pain or come to a better understanding of the symptom of event that causes them distress. Although a controversial tactic, those who choose to go through with hypnosis can only be hypnotized if they are willing. If a patient requires more treatment such as medication, a psychologist can work with medical personnel to further their recovery (“What Do”). They work with a person’s motivation and energy to examine their thoughts, feelings, and behavior to develop ideas about how to move forward with their life (Cohen).
Hypnosis explained by the psychology community as an altered state of consciousness that leaves people in a more subjective state, or more likely to listen to verbal suggestions. The term of hypnosis came from the Greek root word for sleep. There have been records of Hypnosis going back 2,500 years in ancient China and Egypt, (Gurgevich, 2011-2015, para.1). Hypnosis or also known as hypnotherapy is said to be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain, (“Test and Procedures Hypnosis,”2015, Para. 2). An example of how a hypnotherapy session might go like this; a therapist comes in while a patient was in an relaxed state and proceeds to tell the patient that they will be cured from their illness when they came out of the relaxed state and then the patient may or may not be cured.
