Past Life Regression

A lot of people ask me about past life regression.
Is it provable? ---The proof is with the experience of the client.
Is it real?  --As real as any thing we can percieve or experience.
Is it really me? -- Our sense of identity is based upon our perceptions of ourselves; Do we have a focus on external ego or internal ego?
Will I be traumatised? --In many years of practice, every client has come out of hypnosis [trance] with a smile, feeling relaxed, refreshed and feeling good about themselves.

All regression hypnotherapy programs take a client back in time, evoking memories and experiential memories.
  

There are two schools of thought with past life regression.

 1) Yes we have all lived previously existence(s) and our souls retain all memories.  This is not proveable in the same manner as all major religions on the planet which promise heaven or hell or purgatory are not provable. Religions that tout life after death, or reincarnation have absolutely no scientific proof.  If the only way to prove life after death is to die, then no living person can conclusively say that they have proof.   We rely on random, surprising memory bits that pop into our heads, rely on bits of deja vu' or other coincidences to support our theories/beliefs.

2) The regression process takes a client back as far a necessary to see the root, the cause, the trigger, the trauma or the ecstasy that makes them feel a certain emotion about a particular issue or concept that they experience on a recurring basis in their current [stage of] life. Sometimes it's easier to use the parable concept, the fairytale concept, rather than a specific, possibly painful, traumatic experience, maybe from childhood. Using the concept of past life, allows the mind to distance itself from deeply imbedded trauma, much in the same manner as watching a scary movie as compared to actually experiencing that same sensation of fear/dread/anxiety/worry in real life.
