Of course you can. Quite often my clients mention my therapist this, my therapist that. Any kind of hypnotherapy, I consider it to be complementary, and I choose that word deliberately. Alternative would mean you do not need your talk therapy, and that is not what I am saying. This can add another dimension to what you are already doing. You can bring the idea up with your therapist, and some therapists are really open to this work. I teach therapists how to do hypnosis, and a lot of the ones I teach go on to learn past life as well. Some are not open to hypnosis at all, much less past life, and that is true in any profession, some are open, some are not. I worked with a pastor in Houston who did a Life Between Lives session because his brother passed away, so there are plenty of people you might suspect would not be open to this who actually are. Here is the thing though. With past life there is really no gray area, people either believe it or they do not. So if you feel drawn to this work, do not let other people's views or judgment of it influence your decision.

Yes. Recurring nightmares, restless sleep and even a lifelong inability to remember your dreams are often your subconscious trying to process something unresolved from a past life or a parallel lifetime. One woman I worked with had a persistent nightmare of being shot at close range, and in her session she found it was a memory of a fatal injury from a previous life. In the hypnotic state you explore the event from a safe, detached observer's view rather than living through it again. Clients often tell me the nightmares ease once that trapped shock is released, and that their sleep becomes deeper and more peaceful. Many also notice they start remembering their dreams again.

You can, and I teach you how at the end of your session. Your guides are listening and sending messages all the time. The main thing in the way is the analytical mind asking whether the guidance is real. So before I bring you out of trance I teach you a self hypnosis anchoring technique you keep for life. When you practice it for a few minutes each day, the critical chatter quiets, you settle into a relaxed state, and you become able to receive and trust intuitive signs or direct answers from your guides. Many of my clients find this daily practice becomes the part of the session they use most, because it gives them an open line of communication that does not depend on having me there.

Repetitive conflicts or intense struggles with your partner are often structured on a soul level to trigger necessary growth. Before birth your souls agreed to incarnate together to help each other resolve old karmic patterns or learn lessons such as compassion or boundaries. In the hypnotic state you can trace the conflict pattern back to its original past life cause. Realizing that the ancient struggle belongs to a previous incarnation helps your subconscious release the current relational trigger, and what tends to happen is that the same old argument loses its charge. My clients often report more harmony and peace at home afterward, not because their partner changed but because the pattern underneath the fight has been seen and set down.

No, your future is not set in stone. The way I understand it, you take part in a planning process before you are born. Your soul chooses your parents, your body and the main lessons you came here to learn, things like compassion or patience. What I have seen in sessions, though, is that this plan is a high level outline of major milestones rather than a minute by minute script. Once you are here, you have full free will. When you reach a crossroads in life, your choices decide which way you go, so what lies ahead is a set of probable outcomes rather than one fixed destiny. The plan gives you the big picture. How you walk it is up to you.

Intense, irrational likes and dislikes are very often carryovers from previous lives. An obsession with the Victorian era, a strong aversion to a particular culture, a refusal to watch anything medieval like Game of Thrones, these tend to have a story behind them. Your soul carries cellular memories of where you have lived and how you died. In my experience an obsession usually points to a comforting lifetime where you were happy and fulfilled, while a severe aversion typically marks a past life of real suffering in that region or era, imprisonment, trauma, or a hard death. A regression lets you go back and discover where the feeling comes from.
