Brian Weiss is the psychiatrist who wrote Many Lives, Many Masters, and many people who contact me say that book is what first made them wonder whether the fears, relationships and unexplained patterns they carry might have a story that reaches beyond this lifetime. His other books include Only Love is Real, Messages from the Masters and Same Soul, Many Bodies. I took a class with him in Austin in 2005 through an Omega Institute program, right after I started learning hypnosis. It was a large group, around 150 people, and watching him guide a group process made the work real for me. It was no longer only something I had read about. If Many Lives, Many Masters is what brought you here, you are in good company. The full story is in the Teachers and Influences section of my blog.

My hypnotherapy and regression certification training hours are recognized by the major professional hypnosis organizations, IACT and IMDHA. For licensed clinical professionals such as LPCs who need Continuing Education Units, the answer depends on your state licensing board's criteria. Each board sets its own rules about which hours it accepts, so I suggest checking with yours beforehand to see whether IACT approved courses qualify. I am happy to provide a syllabus and a breakdown of total hours to support your application. If you are weighing the training for professional development, bring your board's requirements to the discovery call and we can look at the fit together.

Sometimes, yes. Clients who explore unexplained digestive or stomach discomfort in hypnosis sometimes connect those sensations to a previous lifetime. In my experience these are carryovers, a kind of phantom trigger the subconscious has held onto. Looking back at the event from a safe, detached observer's perspective lets you process what happened and release the emotional tension tied to it. Clients often tell me they feel lighter afterward. The session is about understanding what your subconscious has been carrying and giving it a chance to let go.

Your Higher Self and your guides are deeply committed to your soul's development, and that means they will not cheat on your soul's test. If giving you a direct answer to a question on your list in a Quantum Healing Hypnosis or Life Between Lives session would interfere with a lesson you are meant to figure out on your own, they hold back. Revealing your exact future or solving a hard lesson for you would rob you of the growth you came here for. When this happens in a session I pivot. I ask what steps you can take to learn the lesson yourself, and the guides typically offer helpful breadcrumbs while preserving your growth. My clients often find that the reframed question brings a richer answer than the original one would have.

Start with either a Past Life Regression or a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session. Those are the two entry points, and either one gives you a solid foundation before you go after the deepest soul memories in a Life Between Lives session. Think of that first regression as training for your mind. It learns to translate subconscious impressions comfortably, you get used to connecting with spirit, and you build a baseline of experience that makes the later, deeper exploration meaningful instead of overwhelming. QHHT is the most popular first session with my clients. I suggest Past Life Regression mainly for people who already know they are headed toward Life Between Lives. Both start the same journey of healing and raising your vibration, and we can sort out which fits you on a discovery call.

Asking why all the bad happened tends to keep you stuck in a victim pattern, so I invite my clients to ask a different question. Challenges and obstacles are chosen on a soul level before birth to serve as major catalysts for spiritual growth and to teach specific lessons. Rephrase your inquiry into a how or a what question. What do I need to do to move forward? How can I grow from this? Those questions open doors. In a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, connecting with your Higher Self reveals the pre birth plan behind these struggles, and that gives you the clarity and direction to navigate your path with grace. Many people leave a session understanding their purpose going forward for the first time.
