The fascinating story that follows came from a reader. You
may or not personally
believe in past life
regression/reincarnation.
However, as a form of
therapy, it is highly
effective. Over the years
some of my clients have
spontaneously regressed to a
past life when I directed
them to "go as far back as
they need to go, to the
first time this was an
issue". Although they are
sometimes puzzled by the
experience it does make a
positive change their
present life challenges.

I woke up yesterday morning and looked in the mirror and told
myself that there MUST be
some reason, some unrealized
trauma that is causing me to
have such horrible PMS every
single month.
I told Dr. Mary (hypnotherapist) that I felt like this
continual, monthly PMS drama
was being caused by some
traumatic event. Previously,
we had been doing positive
reinforcement of
menstruation and PMS, but it
really was not working, so
it was time to take it to
the next level.
[During the session] Dr. Mary guided me to raise my index
finger if the answer to the
question she was asking was
Yes and to raise my pinky
finger if the answer to the
question she was asking was
No. And then she proceeded
to ask me to go to a time
when the problem that needed
to be addressed originated.
Mind you, I have been going to hypnosis for several years
now, and it has been
extremely helpful with the
big time issues that I had
with my mother, especially.
Through hypnosis, we have
repaired our relationship to
a phenomenal degree. It is
amazing. I have had some
powerful experiences while
in the trance state, but
nothing compares to what
happened next.
I had started out swimming in the water, where I am
comfortable. Next, I hear
in my head, “Stuck in the
sea. Stuck in the sea.
Stuck in the sea.” Then, I
can feel the waves and the
water is getting rougher and
rougher and then there’s a
boat – a large wooden boat
with masts and it is on this
rough ocean, and I can feel
the rocking so bad that I’m
getting nauseated. And
then, I can hear myself
screaming, “SAVE ME!
Somebody SAVE ME! SAVE
ME!” It was horrible. I
was trapped, helpless, going
to drown (and probably be
sick first!) and no one was
going to save me. As I sat
in the chair, I started to
cry – tears were streaming
down my face. I was
abandoned, trapped, lost.
All was lost. I couldn’t
see myself, but I was
there. It was pretty
evident that the situation
was not going to end well.
Dr. Mary guided me through the experience and to the point
where I was back to being an
observer, and then she
asked, “Does this experience
address all of the issue
that needs to be
addressed?” Much to my
surprise, my pinky finger
raised and I said No!
So, she again guided me to go to a time when the problem
originated...
And then, as clear as day, I can see a castle wall – well,
the side of a castle, where
the rounded tower is. The
castle is smooth though, not
like the rough hewn grey,
stone castles I am familiar
with. The stones were
light, like a blonde color
and very smooth... And then
I realize that there is
window up top and I am in
the room there. I have been
locked in the room. I am
disconsolate – there is no
hope. I am trapped here and
there is no one to help me.
This time, unlike the boat,
I can see myself, and I am
dressed very primly, the
word that came to mind was
Puritan, but I don’t know
how or when or where. If I
had to guess, I would say
1300’s. Again, this is what
occurs to me.
Dr. Mary guides me through the experience and then asks again
if everything has been
addressed, and this time, my
index finger answers Yes.
Every month, I had been unconsciously reliving needing to be
saved, which made me both
scared of being abandoned on
a LARGE scale and angry
because consciously I reject
the idea that I need to be
saved. I mean sure, I like
to be looked after, but I am
a strong person and feeling
so lost and out of control
is horrible for me.
Conversely, I was also angry
because I was setting myself
up in situations where I
wanted to be saved and was
angry that Bill wasn’t doing
any saving. (Not his fault,
not anybody’s fault really,
just what was playing out.)
So, after I left her house, I felt like a 1,000 pound weight
had been lifted off my
shoulders. I feel like
everything has been
reframed. All of my usual
PMS symptoms are gone.
GONE. I know that and look
forward to not having them
recur next month. I know it
will take awhile for Bill to
believe that things will be
different - as I have
promised so many times. But
this time, I know it's the
truth.
What an amazing, incredible, healing experience.
Now, it's two years later and though the PMS is still an
issue in a few ways
(irritability), I have
definitely shed the
recurring needing to be
saved part and the crescendo
of realizing it's a lost
cause! Thank goodness for
hypnosis.
