Vulnerable share: Today I volunteered to participate in a demonstration of age regression in a hypnosis workshop. I set my intention to something simple in my brain. I just wanted to explore why I sometimes procrastinate. I went back to a day I was with my mom while she was getting an ultrasound during her last pregnancy. I remembered thinking, I wanted to be a doctor like her OBGYN. I was 4 or 5 years old at the time. Unfortunately, my sister was born with trisomy 13 and died within 6 weeks of her birth. The disappointment and pain was so strong and crippling in many ways. As I recalled that experience of wanting to be a doctor but not being able to overcome the reality of loss and being able to feel others’ suffering, i was aware how this loss altered my path. This was my first memory of being empathic (feeling the emotions of others) but I never put the connection of the life shattering disappointment I experienced at 4-5 years old and my moments of procrastination and perfectionism. This is the power of hypnotherapy and age regression therapy. Releasing stuck state memories that live within our muscles and fully experiencing the emotions is true freedom. When I went to get fresh air, I came across the Hope Monument and I wanted to honor the many people who experienced the loss of a child like my parents or a sibling like myself.
