Your soul is a large, advanced energy field, and the human body can only hold a small part of that intensity. So when you are in the womb, typically somewhere between three and six months of pregnancy, only a small percentage of your soul's energy connects with the developing body to form your human personality. The rest stays in the non physical realm as your Higher Self, watching over you with a broad, protective perspective for your whole lifetime. That is why you can reach your Higher Self so readily in hypnosis. It is the larger part of you, and it has been there all along, before the body and beyond it.

Yes, it is a common discovery in hypnosis. What I have seen in sessions is that souls often reincarnate within the same family line to keep working on shared lessons or to resolve old karma together. During a past life regression you might find that you were your own great grandparent, an uncle or an aunt a few generations back. Clients often tell me that this brings real clarity to recurring family dynamics. It also explains the strong familiarity some people feel with certain ancestral homes, heirlooms or relatives, a sense of already knowing a place or a person that they could never account for. The family you were born into may be one you have been part of for a very long time.

It is just the two of us. The session needs to be one on one, because if someone else is in the room with you, something might come up that you do not want to talk about in front of them, and you might hold back, you might not open up, and whatever it is might be important. The recording is yours too, and you can share it with anybody you want, or with nobody. Beyond that, there typically are not embarrassing or private things that come up. It is always a possibility, but the things that come up are things that need to come up. There is always a reason. So if something private or embarrassing does come up, the question becomes, why did it come up? What is it getting your attention about? It is usually something in your life that needs to be addressed in some way, not by me, by you, and if there is something I can help you with, I am more than willing to help you with it.

Forgiveness in this work means taking your own power back, and it has nothing to do with saying what someone did was acceptable. Refusing to forgive is like drinking a glass of poison and waiting for the other person to die. It only harms you. Forgiveness of self can create powerful healing as well. Forgiving another person, or yourself, while you are in a deep hypnotic state is a different experience from trying to do it with your everyday mind, because the analytical mind is out of the way. What my clients typically report is that trapped emotions like anger and hate finally have somewhere to go, and what replaces them feels like peace and compassion. In my experience that release is one of the most healing things that happens in a session. I never tell somebody they have to forgive. I give you the opportunity, and if you feel it, if you mean it, if it is authentic, then we find a way to express it in the session, while you are in hypnosis, not to their face. If you just say it because I told you to and you do not mean it, it does not mean a thing.

If you feel a strong desire to know more about your past, to understand recurring patterns in your life, or to explore the deeper purpose behind your journey, that is often the clearest sign that you are ready. Trust that inner pull. This work is most meaningful for those who come with a genuine intention to explore and grow. If you would like to talk it through, I invite you to schedule a Discovery Call so we can discuss whether this is the right next step for you.

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.
