FAQ about Regression
What is Regression?
Regression is a specific form of hypnosis, which allows you to be in the present while also taking you back in in time to re-live past experiences. That is why it is called regression.
I can lead you through three specific types of regression: Past Life Regression, Life Between Lives Spiritual Regression and Transpersonal Journey. To learn more about each of these, click on the links below.
What sort of people come to see you?
I ask my spirit guides to send me people who I can help. Generally, folk who book with me are any age over eighteen, are open-minded, have often read my books or listened to my podcast, and usually sense that I am the person they need to see. As expected, we discover my clients do receive what they need form their regressions.
What will help me understand more about these sessions?
My clients tell me that listening to my podcast, Exploring Past Lives with Karen Joy, they gained a better understanding of how sessions work.
What happens if I get upset during the session?
Often this is part of your journey. When anything challenging occurs, we pause, take some deep breaths, and proceed very gently. Valuing the opportunity to release past trauma is important, but I make sure it is done wisely and carefully. Naturally, this happens in Zoom and in-person sessions. Clients who have done both in-person and zoom sessions have never noticed any difference.
Should I sit up or lie down?
Some people choose to lie back, and others prefer to sit up. Assuming I can see and hear you clearly, and you can hear me, it doesn’t matter which you choose.
Do I need headphones?
Often people speak quietly when in a trance so you may need to be close to your computer or other device so I can see and hear you clearly. Headphones are one way of making sure you can hear me and I can hear you.
What happens if the internet cuts out?
Occasionally, the Internet can trip up for a few seconds. Usually, it reconnects, without needing to do anything. Once in a regression, it cut out completely. Unfortunately, there was an Internet outage, so we arranged to continue at another time, successfully completing her regression. This is rarely a problem having occurred only once out of about hundreds of sessions.
What happens if I am interrupted during the session?
Occasionally, noises, pets or others in the house can interrupt a session. Of course, this can happen when in my office too, if someone unexpectedly knocks on my door (e.g. the postman). This is been a problem. We take care of it and then I assist you to re-access the trance.
What happens if I need to go to the bathroom?
Quite often, this happens during the trance, sometime more than once. As we process emotional release, it is often accompanied by a need for bodily release. In trance, your body needs to relaxed and comfortable, so you need to tell me, and you need to go. Of course, this happens in my office too. It is not a problem. I help you focus for a moment to identify where you are in the trance and, when you come back, I help you easily re-access the trance.
