Age Regression

Regression is the name for a hypnotic modality that suggests past occurrences (or future ones, in which case it is called progression).   It may be induced by methods called "process induction", "mental set", and "key-word recall".   All of them are used in MyHypnotist.

We based their designs on linguistic patterns known world-wide to growing numbers of professional hypnotists and psychotherapists as "Ericksonian Approaches", inasmuch as they were developed, employed, and willingly taught by the late Dr. Milton H. Erickson, a Phoenix, Arizona psychiatrist who died in 1980.

Dr. Erickson's subtle mastery of the arts of communication (so subtle that some denied its existence), coupled with his ample supply of humankindness, enabled him to induce attitudinal changes in others so unobservably, rapidly, and enduringly as to seem almost miraculous.   Ericksonian approaches are barely distinguishable from "ordinary" conversation.

(The reverse is also true: so-called "ordinary" conversation uttered by someone who knows what he wants but knows little or nothing about the hypnotic subtleties of communication (not of transmission, but of communication) can induce disastrous attitudinal changes in others without knowing that he has done so.   If they are equally uninformed or (already hypnotically) inclined toward arrogance or snobbery, they are quite likely to return the disfavor.   Such prattfalls form the basis of human history to date: personal, familial, communal, corporate, national, and international.   They lead toward the ultimate expression of: "My will be done!", which used to be accompanied by nothing worse than the hurling of sticks and stones, although we have made a great deal of progress since then.)

Regression allows a new, objective, subconscious study of the past and serves to help correct one's sights for the future.
