Why
should I choose you over other past life therapists?
I am a clinical
psychologist. I have done years of study and research in the
area of regression and past life therapy. I have studied with
pioneers in the field, such as Brian Weiss, Roger Woolger, Morris
Netherton, and Winafred Lucas and I am certified by each of
them..
I am also
certified in past life therapy through the International Board
of Regression Therapy (IBRT). I am a member of the International
Association for Regression Research and Therapies (IARRT). I
am also board certified in hypnosis/hypnotherapy and a member
of the Southern California Society of Clinical Hypnosis.

Do
you have to believe in past lives to do this work?
A belief
in past lives is not required to do the work or benefit from
the work. The mind can heal in many ways. Whether you classify
what you come up with as past lives, metaphor, symbol, fantasy,
or even from the Collective Unconscious, you can heal and change
from what your mind gives you.
|
|
|
|
Do
you really relive past lives?
People are
different in their experience. Some people relive the life fully;
others may get the story but only relive it through one or more
senses. Sometimes people get the life partially felt at first,
but experience it more fully the next time through. Fully re-experiencing
past lives is not necessarily a requirement for healing.
|
|
|
|
Do
I have to be hypnotized?
You can
decide how you want to do the sessions. Some people chose to
be hypnotized and some chose to use a bridging method (using
a physical symptom, words, or an emotion) to get into an altered
state. Either way, you remain alert, aware and in control. Both
ways can get you to the needed information.
|
|
|
|
Will
I remember what happens during the session?
Absolutely.
During the session you are in an altered state, but you are
alert and aware. You respond and interact with the therapist.
You will remember everything you say and experience, and everything
that is said to you.

How
does past life therapy tie in with my life now?
When you
die, your soul can carry away with it promises, beliefs, attitudes,
physical symptoms, and/or attachments that are brought into
this lifetime to work through. After locating and working through
a certain past lifetime, it is important to understand the carryover
to your current lifetime in relation to the patterns of symptoms,
behaviors, relationships, and illnesses. With the processing
and integration of your past life issues, your present life
can change.
|
|
|
|
Will
it cure me of my problems?
There are
no guarantees, of course. But, most people experience change,
even as soon as the first session. This work can also continue
eliciting change long after the sessions stop. If you complete
the work, you can walk away with your phobia gone, your depression
lifted, your relationship patterns shifted, your symptom relieved,
etc.
|
|
|
|
Is
it real or just my imagination?
Some people
finish a session and say, "I think I just made it up."
It does no good to argue the validity of a past life - it just
takes time away from the real work. As in Question #1, it does
not matter whether you view it as real or symbol or fantasy.
The mind will bring up information that will help you heal.
Some clients
have remembered actual names. Some clients have validated that
the person they remembered in session actually existed. Some
clients have traveled to the place of the past life and were
able to know where to go or to identify familiar locations.
Although that is not the goal, it was important to them. Again,
the work is with what your mind brings forward. Most people
have ordinary lives that cannot be proven. Healing occurs anyway.
|
|
|
|
How
many sessions will I need?
In general,
people work with me an average of three to ten sessions. Occasionally,
someone will achieve what they want in one session. Sometimes
people stay longer if they have many issues they want to work
through or the healing process is complex.
|
|
|
|
How
long does a session last?
A session
is two hours in length. The first session is about one hour
talking about what you want to accomplish or heal, plus some
of your current history. Then the second hour is a regression.
Subsequent sessions are less talking and more regression, although
integration time is important.
|
|
|
|
How
is this therapy different from others?
Past Life
Therapy differs from other types of therapy because of its quick
access to your entire past history and issues. People report
accessing issues and healing experiences in just a few sessions
that they have not gotten to in years of other types of therapy.

|
Will
I find out I was Cleopatra, Atilla the Hun, Jack the Ripper?
You could
possibly find out that you were someone quite famous. Many find
out they were poor or peasants or just common folk. It does
not require being someone famous to help you heal. Ordinary
lives have lessons too.
|
|
|
|
How
fast can I expect change?
Change can
actually begin during the session. Although change can occur
immediately, some have reported change still occurring in their
lives as much as one year later. People are individual in their
speed of processing.
|
|
|
|
Can
I use this process to retrieve forgotten memories in this life?
Certainly.
Regression can be used to access experiences from the current
moment backwards. There is no requirement as to what time period
you must use.
|
|
|
|
Can
I work with you even if I don't live in Los Angeles?
A tremendous
amount of work can be accomplished in a short, intensive burst.
I have clients that fly in and stay in a hotel and see me daily
for a week. This series may satisfy your current needs, or you
may wish to come back for another week at a later date.
