Regression

In this fifth volume of the Human Change Mastery™ series, Philip Mouton presents a structured, mechanism-based approach to regression work designed for modern non-medical practitioners. Regression is a symbolic, meaning-based method for working with present-day patterns shaped by emotional meanings formed earlier in life. Rather than treating regression as memory recovery or historical investigation, this book shows practitioners how to follow the emotional thread to the symbolic origin of a pattern, update the emotional prediction it created, and integrate that change into the client's present identity and future behaviour. Inside, you'll learn: The mechanism underlying Regression Why emotional meaning matters The difference between emotional truth and factual truth How predictive emotional patterns are formed How to identify the Initial Sensitising Event (ISE) The full twelve-step Regression process The role of the Adult Perspective and Younger Emotional Representation How to work non-leadingly within symbolic scenes How to handle Symbolic Life Narratives ("Past Lives") Scope boundaries, contraindications, and practitioner safeguards Written for hypnotherapists, coaches, and advanced students of human change, this book reframes regression work through a modern symbolic and mechanism-based lens while maintaining clear professional boundaries throughout.
