It can, and it is a valid thing to explore. Dealing with generational or ancestral trauma is not something I always bring up, but it is something you can bring up in your questions, and we can tap into those insights, even if you do not know whether there is something there or not. The main thing we are working with in every session is how the past life impacts your life today, how the events, the situations, the choices and the decisions made in a past life impact the current life. If that happens to involve generational or ancestral trauma, it is possible it could come up during the past life part of the session, but chances are this will be more of a question in a Quantum Healing Hypnosis session, or maybe a Life Between Lives. Sometimes a client even discovers they were their own relative in an earlier generation, and there is a separate answer about that on this site.

Well, I guess the session will be over pretty quick. Here is the thing. There are two times when people tend to fall asleep. One is at the beginning, while I am taking you into hypnosis, which typically runs 20 to 25 minutes. The other is at the end, when I am teaching you self hypnosis so you can put yourself to sleep and sleep through the night, and some people take me literally right then. I have learned how to tell, and how to wake people up, even online. I have you take a deep breath throughout the session to help you relax, and if I say take a deep breath and you do not take one, either you have zoned out or you have gone to sleep. And once we are visiting the childhood, the womb and the past life, we are having a conversation. If you are asleep, you are not going to talk to me. So it is not really a problem. Speaking of sleep, many people tell me that after their session they get the best night's sleep they have had in a long, long time.

Yes, they can. Ongoing stomach tightness, nausea, reflux or digestive trouble that nothing seems to account for is frequently a carryover from the way a previous life ended. Any kind of stomach issue in a past life, especially one that takes your life, can follow you into your current life as a kind of phantom trigger, the body bracing against something that is long over. In the session we look at that event in the hypnotic state and separate the old injury from the body you have now. Clients often tell me the symptoms ease once that separation is made, and many describe their body finally settling down. It is one of the more common things I see in sessions.

The easiest tell is how the message arrives. Your own logical thoughts involve active thinking, weighing and planning, and you can feel yourself doing the work. A message from your spirit guides or Higher Self lands all at once as a sudden clear hunch or a knowing, and my clients describe it the same way again and again, saying something like this just popped into my head. It arrives without effort and feels distinct from thinking. Learning to trust that line of communication without arguing with it is a real milestone in spiritual development. At the end of your session I teach you a self hypnosis anchor so you can settle into the relaxed state where those messages are easiest to recognize and trust on your own.

No, I do not read from a script. There is a term, Scripnosis, for a hypnotherapist reading a generic pre written script word for word to a client. I avoid that approach because a canned script cannot respond to your unique personal issues and what your subconscious needs in the moment. My sessions are interactive and client centered. I listen closely to your words while you are in trance and create custom suggestions in real time based on what you say. That is also how I teach my students to work. The result is a session built around you, shaped by your own language and your own experience rather than a page of text written for someone else.

The hypnotherapy certification. There is no way around it and no shortcut through it. The 220 hour program certified through IACT is the foundation the rest of the path stands on. From there you take past life regression, which is a six day class across two consecutive three day weekends, covering childhood memories, womb regression and past lifetimes, because the Newton Institute expects a regressionist to be fluent in those timelines before LBL training. Spiritual Connection and Communication comes after that. Each step is built to make the next one possible.
