Taking a Detailed Personal History

(Not if answers suggest that client is at Cause or Effect)
1. Why are you here? Why Else.. Why Else?
2. How do you know that you have this problem?
Elicit a reality strategy and any diagnoses made.
3. How long have you had it?
Was there ever a time when you didn’t? What have you done about it?
4. What happened the first time you had this? Emotions were present?
5. What events have happened since then? What emotions were present?
6. In each of these events, what is the relationship between this even and your current situation in life?
7. Tell me about your parents, brother and sister etc… What is your relationship between this person and your current situation?
8. Tell me about your childhood in relation to this problem?
9. Is there a purpose for this problem? Is there a reason for this problem? Ask your unconscious mind
10. When did you choose to have this situation be created? Why ask your unconscious mind.
11. Is there anything your unconscious mind wants you to know, or is there anything your not getting which, if you got it, would allow this problem to disappear?
12. Is it OK with your unconscious mind to support us in removing this problem today, and for it to allow you to have an undeniable experience of it, when we are complete?

The function and crafting of these questions in eliciting unconscious causes is crucial to the success of the intervention. These questions allow the addressing of the greater problem, which creates the presenting problem.

Without these questions in that case cited here, it may have been tempting to address only the allergies. In fact a useful questions may be did the allergies exist? Certainly addressing only the presenting pseudo-allergic responses in Robyn would have left Angela with her family boundary issues intact. This would probably have compromised any attempt to fix Robyn’s skin condition. Even if any allergy- type intervention were successful, it seems likely that the underlying cause would have manifested again in any case, either in some new site or via a relapse in the allergic response.

Time Line Therapy in Combination with Past Life Regression Therapy

It is very common for a client to access past life when Time Line Therapy is used. However since Time Line Therapy always starts with a negative emotion or a limiting decision, it becomes very difficult for the client to find out the root cause of her problem if she cannot identify any specific emotion of limiting decision that she has made in the past. In such cases, I found it very useful to combine both Past Life Regression Therapy and Time Line Therapy. I have used this technique recently and found if very useful with my client.

Jenny came to see me because of her childhood trauma. In the first few sessions, I have helped her resolve most of her childhood problems and parental issues. Her life has improved significantly but she did not seem to have any major breakthrough in her relationship, which is quite uncommon for someone who has worked through most of her childhood problems. Since Jenny was not able to identify any specific cause for her difficulty in relating to her partner, I decided to attempt past life regression. During her session, I asked her unconscious mind to take her to the event most significantly affects her relationship. Knowing that it was a limiting decision, I used Time Line Therapy to help her return to the time before the event, and get the learning’s so that she could release the decision.

This part was so effective that she immediately felt half of “her soul” returning to her body. This experience was very similar to what Dr Baldwin called the “recovery of soul fragmentation”. Having made the decision to not have any relationship again, Jenny has rejected the other half for two lifetimes. When this part returned Jenny described that it was white in colour, which was quite different from her existing half, which was pink. Also, it felt very foreign to her when it returns to her body. This feeling is also very similar to what Dr Baldwin has described on what happens when a fragment of the soul returns to the body.

Jenny felt much more energized after the therapy, and her relationship with her partner also improved. I see this combination an improvement over Past Life Regression Therapy alone because in addition to gaining an understanding on how the problem occurs, it also helps the client release her negative emotion or limiting decision much more quickly. The learning that she has brought back from her past life event also more effectively helps her deal with her present day problems.
