Regressive hypnosis as a tool to connect with the body and mind

On several occasions, I've been asked: "How do I know that what I saw in my imagination is real?" My answer is always: "Because you also feel it in your body." This is what hypnosis can offer us.

In my practice, I use regressive hypnosis as a tool to connect with the body and mind and give space to emotional processes so they can be seen from a different, less painful perspective. Regressive hypnosis therapy is a type of hypnosis that helps to revisit past experiences and release the emotions connected to a traumatic event. The person under hypnosis is aware of their current state while maintaining focus on a specific moment in their life. Sometimes, a person under hypnosis will go back in time and find information that has been filtered and repressed by the mind because that information or experience caused severe emotional pain. According to Freud, the repression of painful memories serves as a defence mechanism against traumatic events, even if you are aware of those memories. The information repressed in the unconscious mind can be the key to the healing process because, as I said before, what we seek is a different perspective from the original one. A perspective in which we are the architects of our emotions. As for painful experiences, these cannot simply be "eliminated" from the mind. Instead, we can only learn to live with them, seeking a meaning that is useful for our life's learning. Sometimes, these bad experiences can even mark a turning point in our lives, a moment to begin living differently, whether for ourselves or for others. The goal of hypnosis is not to rewrite history, but to give pain a place and soften the emotional effects that appear in the body.

It is important to remember that the emotions generated by bad experiences will eventually find a way to express themselves or leave the mind. Often, this happens through the body. Emotions are forms of energy; therefore, we can also consider them physical.

Everything that happens in your mind will be experienced and felt in your body.
