    About This Training

    Past life regression classes: live online format

    These past life regression classes are delivered live online via Zoom in a cohort format. Learners observe demonstrations, practice in pairs, and return to the group for discussion and feedback. 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 carries NBCC-approved CE credit.

    Curriculum Overview

    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.

    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.

    Techniques

    Past life hypnosis training techniques you'll 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.

    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.

    Past life regression certification: what you receive

    This is what sets Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute apart. Most past life regression trainings are belief-based and carry no accreditation. This program is led by a licensed clinician and awards 18 NBCC-approved continuing education hours, so licensed counselors can apply the training toward their CE requirements while learning a modality most programs treat as purely spiritual. Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7691.

    The Difference

    Clinical vs. Metaphysical PLR

    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.

    Choosing PLR Training

    What to Look for in Past Life Regression Training

    A sound program explains what the method can and cannot establish. Look for a defined sequence from intake and consent through induction, regression, integration, and re-orientation. Screening and referral guidance should be taught alongside technique, not added as an afterthought. Live demonstrations and supervised practice allow learners to receive feedback on pacing, language, and client choice. Also check the instructor's professional background, the credential's meaning, any continuing-education approval, and whether the curriculum distinguishes education from licensure.

    How BHI's PLR Training Compares

    BHI's Level 1 format is live online and cohort-based. Learners observe demonstrations, practice in pairs, and return to the group for discussion and feedback. The curriculum describes a structured regression protocol, informed consent, contraindication screening, abreaction management, documentation, and post-session integration. NBCC-approved CE opportunities apply to the named program and should be confirmed with the provider and a learner's licensing board. Other schools may use different traditions, schedules, or credentials; a useful comparison asks how each handles supervision, ethics, accessibility, and ongoing support.

    The Therapeutic Value of Past Life Regression

    Past life regression can be used as an experiential conversation about imagery, narrative, emotion, and personal meaning. Clients may understand an experience as literal, symbolic, or archetypal, and a practitioner should not impose one interpretation. The training emphasizes informed choice, careful pacing, grounding, and integration into present-day goals. It does not establish historical fact, diagnose a condition, or replace medical or mental-health care. Practitioners should work within their credentials, document the session accurately, and refer when a client's needs exceed their scope.

    Safety First

    Safety, Ethics & Screening

    Because regression can surface emotionally significant material, safety is taught as a core competency — not an afterthought. You'll learn client screening and contraindications, informed-consent language, methods for managing abreaction, dissociation and containment techniques, and grounded emergence and integration. You'll leave knowing how to hold a session responsibly and when to refer.

    Questions

    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.
    What should I look for in past life regression training?
    Look for a clearly sequenced protocol, live demonstration, supervised practice, informed-consent and screening guidance, and an explanation of scope of practice. It is also useful to confirm the instructor's qualifications, the credential awarded, how feedback is given, and whether any continuing-education approval applies to the specific course.
    How does BHI compare with other past life regression schools?
    BHI combines live online cohort instruction with supervised practice, a documented session framework, safety and ethics teaching, and NBCC-approved continuing-education opportunities. Other schools may emphasize a different tradition or delivery format, so compare instructors, assessment, support, and scope guidance rather than relying on a label alone.
    What is the therapeutic value of past life regression?
    Past life regression is presented as a reflective, experiential modality. Learners examine how clients make meaning of imagery, memories, and emotions, whether those experiences are understood literally, symbolically, or archetypally. Training focuses on consent, pacing, integration, and appropriate referral; it does not promise a particular health outcome or replace licensed care.
