Hypno Secret: Age Regression Is More Than Finding the Cause
by Karen Hand, BCH, CI
You probably already know, or at least you’ve heard, about using age regression to find the initial sensitizing event. But I wonder if you’re repurposing those skills to find resources already inside the client.
One thing we know for sure, if the client can ask for it, they must have a model for what it is they’re seeking. Either they have an example inside or they can see an example in others.
Peg called wanting hypnosis to increase her confidence. Peg is a nice woman in her mid 30’s. She had been recently promoted to a position in her company that requires public speaking. She wasn’t afraid of public speaking, but she wanted a better sense of “knowing” that she wouldn’t make a fool of herself.
I asked what she’d already done in her life that she was most proud of…and she instantly said it was equestrian showjumping in high school.
Great! Let’s jump right in! (Pun intended!)
I asked her to close her eyes and get in touch with that good feeling…that pride. I could see her puff up in the chair and a big smile came across her face; traditional AR protocol to associate into a feeling.
“I’ll count from 3 down to 1 and let’s go back to a time you are most proud of…on the count of 1, be there…..3-2-1…What’s happening?”
“I’m riding Jackie O…she’s such a beautiful girl…and her mane is flowing as we go over the hurdle…we just fly through the air…”
“How old are you?”
“12”
“Good! Go on…you’re flying through the air…”
“We land the jump! It’s perfect, and I’m so happy and smiling!”
“And how does that make you feel?”
“That I’m bursting with pride!”
“What does that make you think?”
“My instincts are solid and my hard work really paid off!”
“That’s right! And does that remind you of another time in your life when you were bursting with pride?”
“Yes!”
“Be there now and tell me what’s happening.”
“It’s show-and-tell and I have a picture of the fish I caught and a story my daddy taught me to tell.” And she giggled!
You get the idea.
Peg went from show-and-tell to high school when she drove up in a car she’d just purchased with 5 years of babysitting money. And then she went to her wedding day. And then her first work promotion. It didn’t concern me that we weren’t consistently going in any particular direction because the suggestion was to find resources. And she had many.
The running theme through her resourceful time travel was that she naturally works hard and when she follows through on her instincts, she is really confident…and proud of herself.
We pro-gressed to 3 times in her future when she will want that confident pride puffing up in her chest...and can look back on all the time and hard work she puts into her life...
“And now that you’ve had this experience today, you can realize that you deserve the rewards you get for your hard work. A person who works hard has a right to confidently step up and share … just like show and tell. And I wonder if it makes you giggle just a little to understand how automatic it is for you to perform at your best because your instincts are paying off in your career direction, in your promotion. The more you realize you’ve worked hard to do many new things in your life, the more aware you are… your confidence shows up for you because you work hard and you deserve it. And you can instantly remember all the ways you succeed...now.”
One month later Peg sent a link to a YouTube video of her first public speech in the new position and told me she has already scheduled video time (and an audience) to create a set of YouTube training videos for her global company.
Realize, the most long-lasting solutions are the ones that come from your client!
If they need resources…A.R. is an easy technique to re-source their existing assets.
