Case study demonstrating the power of Hypnosis Age Regression  – Randy Shaw, C.Ht.

Last week I worked with a woman who has been making *major* improvements in her confidence and being able to stay calm and centered in pressure situations.  She works for a high powered construction company and has been treated poorly on jobs because “she was a woman”…   But in reality it was because she was unable to stay focused and objective in pressure situations, and the men labeled her problem as “you’re just a woman.”

Over the last month her so-called woman problem has disappeared and she’s getting respect and results with the same set of men alluded to above. In fact, she is subliminally changing them as the result of her new gained strength, and is being treated with much more respect.

Now as much as most hypnotists do not believe that one must go into past events to make current improvements, I know differently.  For instance, with this client above, all we did was begin to release the sadness and fears of her current life and her subconscious mind opened up easily into past events, first with her former marriage where she was belittled – even though she is very intelligent – and then into teenaged events, and eventually into childhood difficulties with …….. her father.  No surprise there, eh?  However, it could have been mom, or older brother, you just never know, that is why we regress and get the straight answer.

After going through those regressed to experiences and releasing the negative feelings so she could 1, feel better, 2, start to see the truth – that there was really nothing wrong with her, 3, feel empowered instead of inferior, 4, forgive herself for thinking she was inferior, 5, forgive her father for being out of control – deeply understanding now how much pressure he was under and was doing the best he could with the life experiences he had as a young man and child himself, 6, LEARN HOW TO FACE PRESSURE AND RELEASE IT  to acquire composure…. 7. and see how all these regressed to events were affecting her in current life, 8, and have the knowledge and tools, power and desire to work through any situation where there was pressure and….. a dominant male creating the pressure, and maintain calmness and clarity.

Her reports are wonderful and full of gratitude and is now preparing to take tests for promotions in the near future, instead of not even wanting to think about that kind of pressure .

Okay that took a little longer to write out than I planned, I’ll jump back and write about her recent success last week, which had to do with “falling apart while driving a trailer” and not being able to use the tools I have taught her to release the fear and gain composure.  She just needed a little help in seeing her “mistake”.

Have a great day,
Randy

………………………………………………….

Okay, this same client came in for her 4th session, after taking 3 weeks off for various reasons, and it was a very GOOD thing.  As she entered my office I could see she was very emotional, which to me is a great way to start the session because all that emotion meant her critical faculty was waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy bypassed already

Her particular problem this day was feeling weak and helpless about driving a truck and trailer back from a job site, as the wind and the weather made her scared and unable to understand why she was feeling this way – ESPECIALLY since after her first two sessions she was so much more in control and able in pressure situations and —— was using the releasing (negative feelings) tools I taught her so effectively, up until this event of “losing it” driving on the freeway, two days ago.

She is completely compliant with me because of her several successes she’s had after her three sessions (not being overwhelmed in pressure situations – with men), including the success of “just feeling some peace and confidence on a daily basis.”

So here’s is what I picked up in her report in this session, and it surprised me a little.

She was trying to FIGURE OUT WHY she felt so scared, instead of working through the feeling to release it.  Once I offered the explanation she was kind of hard on herself – because she knows my mantra:  FEELINGS FIRST; thoughts second.  Release the feeling = get clarity and answers.

So we simply went to work as I had her close her eyes and recall the events that led up to her scared episode only two days before:

Feeling:  Scared
Where:  Pretty much everywhere in my body.
Do you want to hang onto that feeling or release it?
Answer:  I really want to release it.

I did very little to set that up, I only started the “set up phrase” and she took it from there through the rubbing and into the tapping.   As she finished on the side of her hand she was visibly and tangibly improved and looked very calm compared to when this “recalled” feeling came up 120 seconds ago.

I compounded the success and her release with her repeating my (hypnotically constructed) words.

Now that the scared feeling was gone she got some clarity and reported it to me.  But first, remember that she was working on scared, and scared is nervous energy in the body wanting to be released/respected/acted upon. I’d say that the scared feelings she released with me in the chair was not only about the scared feeling in the event but also the scared feeling that all her good work with me fell apart or didn’t work this time.  Thus, I suggested that she was in a trance two days ago in that bad weather (KEY) on the freeway (KEY).

Then she as she was talking about the event, she herself came up with some insight and offered more details.  She did not tell me that she drove into an accident scene, until now, the second time.  That alone brought up a sick feeling so immediately I assisted her in releasing the sick feeling, which she did very well in doing, and then-

She told me, with a cry in her voice that the ambulance was having trouble getting to the accident scene and was GOING THE WRONG WAY! (For heck sakes!)

After I helped her rub and tap and let the cry out, I gently asked:  Have you been in an accident before?  (Regression hypnotherapist thinking: where was this reaction set up???)

Yes….  Crying.  Let her cry as much as was needed until she started telling me about the “other” accident that happened… 12 years ago.  She was coming down a canyon, four lane divided highway (LIKE a freeway), she was not the driver and in a rain storm….  A car coming up the canyon lost control, came across the median and hit her car HEAD ON.  Her and her co-worker were shook up but not hurt.  (Just imagine the shock!) The driver of the other car was unconscious, the doors would not open and my client began sobbing – because she could she the 20-something girl driver had head trauma and was unconscious.

We worked through every feeling, one at a time, and released them, and each time as she did the emotional intensity of her body was tangibly less and more calm.  It mainly was the feeling that she could not help the girl in the car that overwhelmed her.  Even when the Sheriff’s arrived it got worse because they pusher her away and made her feel even more helpless and … guilty.

It only took about twenty minutes to clear every negative feeling in that event, until she could clearly and calmly look upon it, recall it in vivid detail, and begin to learn… YES!  There are some things we can change, I will use my strength when I can;  there are some things I can’t change, I will accept that and let go; and I am able to have the wisdom to know the difference.   That is the old “drunkerd’s prayer” in slighly different language, but after releasing all the awful feelings that event generated and lived inside her for 12 years, there was room inside the SM so she can learn, change, reframe, and grow stronger, with the calm now associated to the event, not scared feelings and tons of guilt.

Then we moved back into the event of two days ago and the only negative feeling that came up was the anxiousness of the ambulance not getting to the accident as quickly as she wanted it to. Once that feeling was released I now had room to suggest this:  Even if you did stop, the police would push you away and not let you help.  How does that make you feel?

It’s out of my hands, and they are the professionals – she said with complete peace in her voice and body.  Good… Things happen, but I may not always be able to help – the way I would like to.  Not my job, this time.  VERY GOOD. She offered up that last conclusion, not me.

She was amazed that the feelings of the accident 12 years ago were so profoundly alive in her body, and put in into the trance so effectively that she did not use the releasing tools I taught her.

To end, I did some direct suggestions, including remembering to work with the feeling first, and the thought second, to find bodily relief and mental clarity, instead of beating herself up by TRYING TO THINK WHY she was scared.  Now: she understands the mechanics of what happened to her and WHY.  Feelings first, thoughts second.

We ended with more DS and compounding of the positive and powerful work she did in the session.

There goes an empowered human being, one who understands how her Subconscious Mind works, and most importantly:  how to work with her SM successfully.

This is one simple yet profound example of why I chose regression work to get the roots that some hypnosis methods would not reach.

Out of breath…

Take care,
Randy

Quite often, we say that the way to tackle any problem or task is to stop and slowly ascertain what exactly must happen to accomplish the work or solve the problem.  This is a good step in the right direction, but meditation for reaching your goals can be just as important.

A plan on how to do anything is critical to the success of the endeavor, without a doubt.  Of equal importance is the proper motivation actually to do what is required to start the plan and carry it through to completion.

Meditation is a design for placing an individual at one with himself or herself.  It is not concerned with attitudes or work ethics of other people, only those qualities as they exist within one’s self.  Others may hamper accomplishments, but they do not control reaching goals.

Because of the relaxation and stress reduction that comes with meditation, the mind becomes clearer and more focused on the real objectives.  The minor difficulties are less of a nuisance because you can better understand the lack of importance they have.

Of course, meditation for reaching your goals is not a one-time activity, nor is it an activity done at a certain hour so many times per day.  It is more about quality than it is about how often or when it is accomplished.  Each session meets with varying results.

At the start, your attempts may not garner the achievements you hope they will.  Be not discouraged because the power is within you to be victorious in small ways that build into your overall major objectives.

Meditation is instrumental in understanding that we do not always get everything that we desire, but we do get just rewards for the efforts we put forth.  The time frame of accomplishment is not always as we expect, but dedication and concentration reap good results.

The adage of “success breeds success” is true.  As you arrive at milestones on your quest for whatever you hope to accomplish, each one lifts you to do better in each succeeding point of accomplishment.  Any failure to achieve along the way should only make the effort more concentrated on ensuing attempts.

The choice is yours.  You may choose to do nothing about your future accomplishments other than planning what they will be.  If you choose wisely, meditation for reaching your goals will become a part of your normal life process.

Hi all,

I just had a post meditative thought that came to me, I’d like to share.

Let’s remember that healing is constant.  I know other hypnosis teachers have taught that if you do this or that, everything will magically be good to go!  And, not just hypnosis teachers but other “gurus” in different fields of self help.

But honestly, how many of you know anyone that magically healed everything in their life and is no longer dealing with any issues?

That’s why Randy and I are up front when we say HEALING IS CONSTANT, so you’d better have some tools.

I’ve met too many “gurus” out there telling you how wonderful their lives are as if they had not a care in the world because they did this “one” technique and life is nothing but roses now.   And then behind closed doors, I came to learn that they’re not so care-free and peaceful.

Randy and I have broken a lot of the common (and many times sacred) rules in the hypnosis field about regression, direct suggestions and such.

Trust me, if DS or anything else for that matter truly worked for an all out cure of all my woes, I would be using it.

Maybe one day all our woes will be gone but until then we need a way to deal with the issues that come up as we go.  We don’t need someone saying “do this and your problems will all be gone.”   That just makes us feel like crap when all our problems aren’t gone.  It reinforces old unwanted perceptions and feelings.

As much as I love regression and releasing hypnosis, if direct suggestion hypnosis (DS) were a magical cure I would become the biggest proponent of DS in the world.

Also, if one day this were to be the case, I know that the road I took to get there was regressing and releasing, or any other tools that felt like I was putting my hand over a candle flame.

I would understand that I had to put the “quarter in the video game” before I could experience the fun of the game (for some people their “quarter” may be different).  And that this has made me a better healer, as I could see what someone would need when coming to me for my services.  whether that be regression hypnosis, direct suggestion hypnosis, EFT, Eastern philosophy, meditation, spiritual lessons, etc…

With that said, I think the “gurus” have some valuable teachings but don’t take their teachings as the be all, cure all.

Even more so, don’t’ fall into the trap of thinking that only ONE way is THE way.   BS!  Isn’t that what most religions have placed on us?

Rather, take their teachings as a tool to help you move more calmly through life with its ups and downs.

If you do  finally reach a climax with an issue that eventually breaks into pieces… From here you’ll get more moments of peace, but also know that you’ll then have to take care of the broken pieces and start all over again with each one!

How many pieces will you have to keep working on?

Love will bring everything unlike itself to the surface for healing. So, every time you reach a new level of love, more crap comes up

So how many pieces need to be healed before we could experience consistent peaceful bliss?  It depends on how much crap you put in that stall from this lifetime and previous lifetimes.  But remember, YOU put that crap in there through your perceptions, feelings and beliefs and ultimately your behaviors.  Not anyone else.  They may have influenced you, but you held on to it.

So take Jung’s advice and be willing to look inside:  “he who looks outside dreams, he who looks inside awakens.”  The answers are inside of you.  Not some special technique that claims to be the be all, cure all.  Reach inside and insight, clarity and peace will come.

Some have healed quite a bit and don’t need to dig as much and, therefore, are more apt to using “easier” methods like DS hypnosis, meditation, estherham, or “the secret” philsophies,  Etc… for their life.

Yet some still have a lot of healing to go, thus need the deeper regress and release type hypnosis.

Don’t compare yourself to others.

Be honest with yourself, which one do you need?

Let me say again.  HEALING IS CONSTANT.  Be aware of your momentum as you heal.

If you fall into the trap of  “oh, that old issue is showing it’s head again… I thought I cleared that, I must not be healed and I’m starting all over again.” Then guess what, you are starting all over again as you’ve just discarded the momentum (as subtle as it may be at times) that you’ve created.

It’s like having a clean horse stall after cleaning out a ton of crap and then all of a sudden a cat walks in and releases some excrement.  Then instead of focusing using your tools to keep it clean, you focus on the cat crap.  However, because you are so focused and frustrated on the cat crap , more cats walk in behind you that notice the excrement and think this is a big litter box and, so they follow suit.  And before you notice it, guess what?  You have to start all over again!

When the easiest thing to have done was use your tools to clean out the poop, spray it with a nice natural cleaner and put a litter box outside to let others deal with their own crap as you keep your stall clean.

Why is the self help industry so big?!

Because it’s filled with books and information on how to do the “one and only technique” that will magically take care of all your problems.  The same people, over and over again, buy into these schemes searching from one book to the next, one workshop to the next for that magical cure.  Let me let you in on something… That one cure doesn’t exist.

Even certain people in history that seemed to have found the peace they were looking for had to hop around from one thing to the other before everything finally came together.  And it wasn’t just one thing that did it.  It was the momentum of the searching that brought them to peace.  Please re-reread that again.  It was the momentum of the searching, not one technique, that brought them to a point of consistent peace.

As I’ve said a million times over ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME.  There is no one road that is better then the other.  Rather one road is better then the other, RIGHT NOW.

So understand that the road that worked today, may not work tomorrow, but it may work the following month.

Alright, I’m going back into meditation .

BTW, if you’ve read this far email me at matt@mattsison.com,  if you’re interested in a meditation cd I created for myself that is helping me bring my breaths down to eventually 1 breath a minute for about 20-30 minutes.  Right now, I’m down to about 3.5 breaths per minute.  I figure I’ll get to 1 breath sometime this year :-p.

Hi everybody

I hope your new year is starting off well.

I’m primarily going to be doing video blogs as I’m just too lazy to write at times .

Along with my own rants and raves about regression hypnosis (and at times simply about life.  That’s the beauty of having your own blog site, isn’t it?)  I’ll be bringing on guests hypnotists.

So enjoy!
Matt
