Clinical Past Life Regression Training & Certification (18 NBCC CE Hours)

Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute's clinical past life regression training is a live, accredited certification program that teaches you to guide clients through past life regression safely, ethically, and effectively. Led by founder Kelly Bearer, MA, LPC, ACHT, this Level 1 Foundations program includes 18 NBCC-approved continuing education hours, supervised practice, and a complete session framework from intake through integration. It's built for licensed therapists, hypnotherapists, coaches, and healers who want a professionally credible, trauma-informed approach to regression work — not a belief-based one. Tuition is $997 pay-in-full or 4 monthly payments of $249, and includes the live online training with supervised practice, the clinical manual and scripts, safety and abreaction protocols, a certificate of completion, 18 NBCC CE hours, and 1 year of access to the BHI Practitioner Community. Because regression can surface emotionally significant material, safety is taught as a core competency — client screening and contraindications, informed-consent language, methods for managing abreaction, dissociation and containment techniques, and grounded emergence and integration. Level 1 Foundations is the entry point to a full clinical PLR certification pathway, each level personally led by Kelly Bearer: Level 1 — Foundations, Level 2 — Advanced Past Life Regression Certification, Level 3 — Between Lives Spiritual Regression, and Level 4 — Akashic Records Practitioner Training. Graduates can continue toward becoming a Certified Clinical PLR Practitioner™. Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7691.

What Is Clinical Past Life Regression Training?

Clinical past life regression training teaches practitioners how to guide a client into a relaxed, focused state and explore memories, emotions, and patterns that may feel connected to experiences beyond the current lifetime. What makes this training clinical rather than metaphysical is its foundation: trauma-informed pacing, informed consent, ethical screening, and a repeatable session structure drawn from Ericksonian hypnosis, somatic awareness, and psychospiritual integration. It is not a belief-based program. Whether you or your clients hold past life material as literal, archetypal, or symbolic, the framework is designed to support meaningful, well-integrated therapeutic experiences — and it's one of the few PLR trainings that carries NBCC-approved CE credit. Most past life regression training is taught from a purely metaphysical frame, with no clinical structure, no trauma-informed safeguards, and no continuing education credit. This program keeps the depth and meaning of regression work while adding what serious practitioners need: ethical screening and consent, trauma-informed pacing, a repeatable session protocol, supervised practice, and NBCC-approved CE hours — taught by a licensed clinician. It's regression work you can stand behind professionally.

What You'll Learn — The Complete Clinical PLR Framework

This foundational training walks you through a full clinical framework from first contact to post-session integration: induction techniques — progressive relaxation, affect bridging, and somatic bridging to guide clients into a workable regression state; a structured session protocol — moving clients through orientation, significant scenes, the death transition, and the inter-life space in a safe, sequenced way; trauma-informed methods — titration, containment, and pendulation for managing emotional abreaction and somatic activation; integration frameworks — journaling protocols, somatic homework, and follow-up planning that help insights land in a client's present life; clinical documentation — consent, session notes, and outcome tracking appropriate for professional regression work; and supervised practice — you'll guide and receive complete regression sessions with real-time instructor feedback. By graduation you'll have practiced multiple complete sessions under supervision and be prepared to offer this work professionally.

Past Life Regression Techniques You'll Master

You will master affect bridging — using a present-day emotion as a doorway into past-life material; somatic bridging — using a physical sensation as an entry point to subconscious memory; age regression as a preparatory step before past-life exploration; scene navigation — moving clients through significant events without re-activating trauma; the crossing-over protocol — guiding clients gently through the death transition into the inter-life space; karmic-pattern frameworks — helping clients recognize and work with recurring patterns; and post-regression integration — anchoring insight into everyday life. Each technique is taught through live demonstration, guided practice, and supervised sessions — so you leave with embodied skill, not just theory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior hypnotherapy or regression experience?
No. The training starts with foundations and builds to supervised practice. No prior hypnotherapy training is required.
Is this training live or self-study?
Live online via Zoom, with real-time instruction, demonstrations, and supervised breakout practice. (A self-study option is available for the Foundations material.)
Does it include CE credits?
Yes — 18 NBCC-approved continuing education hours. Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute is an NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7691.
Is past life regression clinically legitimate?
This program teaches regression as a structured, trauma-informed clinical method grounded in hypnosis and integration — usable whether the material is understood as literal, archetypal, or symbolic.
Do I or my clients need to believe in reincarnation?
No. The method works as symbolic healing and narrative integration and welcomes skeptics and seekers alike.
Will I be ready to work with clients afterward?
By graduation you'll have practiced multiple complete regression sessions with instructor feedback. Scope of practice depends on your existing credentials and jurisdiction.
How is this different from QHHT or Between-Lives trainings?
This is a clinical, trauma-informed, NBCC-accredited program led by a licensed clinician, rather than a purely metaphysical one.
Do I receive a certification or a certificate?
Level 1 awards a certificate of completion and 18 CEs; the pathway continues toward advanced certification. This training is not a license to practice.
