Progressive Healing of Phobias Through Past Life Regression

A Fear With No Explanation Usually Has One

Some people carry a fear of water, or heights, or enclosed spaces, and there is nothing in this life to account for it. No accident, no close call, nothing. The fear feels overwhelming and it feels irrational, and being told it is irrational does not help, because deep down you know it came from somewhere. Hypnotists call the moment a fear first locks in the initial sensitizing event. When nothing in this lifetime fits, the event that started it may belong to another lifetime.

I saw this land close to home. In a group past life session I told everyone, if there is anything going on in your life today on a physical level that is connected with that past life, especially with the way you died, just be aware of what that is, and realize that's not your stuff, it doesn't belong to you, and you just give it back to the past life. Afterward a man told me, when you said that, I could feel the salt water going down my throat into my lungs when I drowned. That is when he connected his asthma to drowning in a past life as a pirate.

Can Past Life Regression Help With Phobias?

In my experience, intense phobias that make no sense in this life typically connect to a traumatic moment in a past one. I am not going to guess at what yours might be, because I don't paint a picture. We discover it. In the session I have you go to the most appropriate time and place, and people tend to go where they need to go.

You observe the original moment from a safe distance instead of reliving it. When you observe and understand the experience that created the fear, it loses much of its power over you, because the fear finally has a context. That distance is what lets the trapped fear release. Clients often tell me a fear they carried for decades feels much lighter afterward. I never promise a result, because it's always going to be different with different people. What I can tell you is that finding the origin changes your relationship with the fear.

What If a Painful Memory Comes Up During Regression?

You do not have to relive a painful moment to release it. There are two ways to experience a past life. One is you go back and you are that person. The other way, you are the observer. So if you are in the body and you feel uncomfortable, I have you go from being in the body to being the observer watching it, a lot like watching a movie on a screen.

From that distance you can pick up what the scene was holding and let go of the energy that was stuck there, without going through the pain again. You stay aware the whole time, and you can speak to me at any point. If you don't deal with something during the experience, it can linger. That is why it is best to have somebody working with you, so they can support you through it.

Layer by Layer

I have found that when we connect to the initial event, whether it is in this life or a past life, that tends to clear the entire situation. We like to say all the other events fall over like dominoes. The fear got reinforced every time it fired over the years, but all of those later events are standing on the first one. Find the first one and deal with it, and the rest usually goes with it.

Some fears have more than one lifetime behind them, and that is where the progressive part comes in. A fear of water might trace to a drowning in one life, and then another session turns up a different lifetime that fed the same fear. Each session deals with what comes up in that lifetime, and I do a very thorough review before we finish so nothing we found gets left hanging. A single session may bring significant relief on its own, and each session after that takes another layer off.

Where Do Unexplained Fears and Blocks Come From?

Fears that are not full phobias respond the same way. A fear of failure, a block against speaking up, a dread that shows up in one specific situation. In the hypnotic state we can trace the fear to its origin, and realizing the original event belongs to a past lifetime allows your subconscious mind to stand down the protection it has been running all these years.

What tends to happen next is the modern pattern loosens its grip. Clients often tell me they can finally take the risk or step into the role they had been avoiding. Not because they talked themselves into being brave, but because the part of them that was guarding an old wound no longer needs to.

What Changes After a Fear Releases?

When the origin of a fear is understood and released, people describe a new kind of freedom. Situations that used to set off the anxiety become manageable, and in some cases clients tell me the fear just is not there anymore. The situations they had quietly arranged their lives around, flying, deep water, speaking in front of people, stop deciding what they can and cannot do. That opens doors to experiences that were out of reach before, and a confidence that does not have to be talked into existence.

I hedge all of this on purpose, because everyone is different and I never promise a result. What I can say is that a fear with a past life origin rarely responds to logic, because it did not come from logic. Finding where it actually started is a different kind of answer.

Is Past Life Regression Right for Your Fear?

If you have a fear that has no logical basis in this life, there is a good chance the answer sits further back than this life can explain, and a past life regression is how we go find it. We take it at your pace, you stay aware the whole time, and you are in the driver's seat. Schedule a session below, or start with a free discovery call and tell me what you are dealing with. It's up to you, whatever feels right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions


Quantum Healing Hypnosis is a deep hypnosis technique, developed by Dolores Cannon, that guides you to a very profound level of trance. In this state, you can access past life memories and connect with a higher aspect of yourself. Some people connect most strongly with their Higher Self, others with a spirit guide, and some with a group or collective that is there to support them on their journey. Whatever form that connection takes, this part of you holds incredible wisdom and can provide direct answers to your most pressing life questions, as well as facilitate deep healing. I studied the method with Dolores Cannon herself, starting in 2008.

Yes, a payment plan can be arranged. You do not have to pay the whole session fee up front. You can hold your date with a $100 deposit and pay the remaining balance before your session begins. If you would like to spread the cost out further, there are options that let you split the fee into installments over several weeks. The discovery call is the easiest place to talk through which arrangement fits you, and I am glad to walk you through it there.

You can still have a good session with me. Over twenty years and well over three thousand sessions, I have found that going into hypnosis comes down to how the session is run. I customize every session in real time using my clinical hypnotherapy background, and I have multiple backup inductions ready if the first one does not settle you. I also use interactive dialogue to quiet an overactive mind, since a busy mind is the most common reason people feel they did not go under. Clients who told me they had failed before often tell me afterward that this time it simply happened. Come with an open mind and let me handle the rest.

Normal daily medication has not stopped my clients from going into hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural brainwave state your mind already visits every day, and people arrive at sessions on all kinds of prescriptions and still go deep. You keep taking whatever you are prescribed exactly as you normally do. On the rare occasion that a session is interrupted or does not get going the way we want, my policy is simply to stop and reschedule another session at no extra charge, so there is nothing to lose by giving it a try. If you have any concern about your particular situation, bring it up on the discovery call and we can talk it through together.
