The Hypnotherapist’s Guide to Regression: Safe, controlled and clinically sound regression

Many therapists learn how to take a patient into regression. Far fewer are taught what to do once the patient is there.This practical guide is written for practising hypnotherapists, psychotherapists, NLP practitioners and advanced trainees who want a safer, more controlled way to work with regressed material.The book focuses on therapist decision-making. It shows how to manage affect, association, dissociation, abreaction, inner child work, memory recoding, reframing, resource work, EMDR-informed processing and post-regression reflection.It does not treat regression as suitable for every patient. It places strong emphasis on preparation, informed consent, stabilisation, pacing, ethical safeguards and careful handling of memory.Inside you will find: → Practical guidance for working safely in regressed states→ Clear explanations of common regression methods→ Clinical decision points for association, dissociation and abreaction→ Full scripts and suggested therapist wording→ Guidance on ethical risks, false memory concerns and court-related issues→ Techniques drawn from Clinical Hypnosis, NLP, EMDR, CBT, psychodynamic work and parts-based approachesThis is a working guide for therapists who need more than theory. It helps you decide what to say, what to monitor, when to continue and when to stop.Written by Bill Frost, a UK-based integrative psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and Fellow of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
