What type of hypnosis is used for the regression sessions?
There are many misconceptions about hypnosis. This is not stage hypnotism where you are unconscious, under the control of someone else and dont remember the experience. The hypnosis used in this process is a deeply relaxed state of focused concentration. You are conscious and aware that you are in the room. It is like a dual awareness where part of your mind knows that you are having a conversation but another part of your mind tunes out the distractions and just pays attention to the memories that are coming to the surface. This is not as mysterious as people often think. We experience trance states frequently during the day. For example, when you drive down the expressway and miss your exit. That is a light trance. When you go to the movies and forget that you are in the theatre because you are so focused on the screen, that is a trance.
