The Academy Training Background

The training is built on the work of experts in this area. Sigmund Freud introduced the idea of bringing the unconscious to conscious awareness for healing. Carl Jung took this further with his use of active imagination.

In the west past life therapy was pioneered by Denys Kelsey a British psychiatrist. Morris Netherton in the 1970's published Past Lives Therapy and psychologist Hans Tendam in Europe published Deep Healing. What these books have in common is the therapeutic use of past lives.

Other experts include Roger Woolger who in the 1980s introduced the importance of working with the body to clear deep trauma with what he called Deep Memory Porcessing. John Bradshaw one of the world’s leading figures in the field of psychology pioneered inner child therapy. His work helped thousands of people to heal traumas from their childhood.

Andy Tomlinson took these techniques into the Academy regression therapy training program in 2002. It brings together past life and current life regression with spiritual practices to offer students a complete holistic and transpersonal system of healing.

It works by going to the root of the problem and reaches further and heals deeper at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels than most other therapeutic approaches.

Past Life and Regression Therapy Training Program

The training is over a one year period. It includes lectures, demonstrations, experiential exercises, pair work, supervision and reading. It meets the requirements of the Earth Association of Regression Therapy that manages a single international standard for Regression Therapy.

The training program is open for all qualified professionals and therapists. Applicants without formal qualifications must be able to demonstrate interest, enthusiasm and life experience appropriate to the helping professions.

A qualification and experience using hypnosis is required.

For those without, a short intensive classroom or home study hypnosis training workshop is offered which leads to a Foundation Certificate in Hypnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Past Life Regression Therapy Associations Important?

Past life and regression therapy content and standards are set by the profession itself. As there is no country regulation in most part of the world this is done by agreement with the leading schools from around the world.

These standards are maintained by two associations, the International Board of Regression Therapists for past life therapists and the Earth Association of Regression Therapy for regression therapists. The Past Life Regression Academy works to both these standards.

Are Past Life Home Study Courses Useful?

If the course is produced with integrity, they are helpful for learning hypnosis and exploring past lives. For students interested in the therapeutic use of past lives this requires being able to transform past lives and have the skills to work with a wide variety of clients. Also, many past life issues have associated current life wounds that need to be resolved as well.

This requires classroom training either by the internet or in person workshops. It allows the student to clear they own personal issues and as a result be able to hold the healing space for clients. If you are going for surgery you expect the surgeon to be trained to the highest standard and not just attending a home study course. Likewise our soul is just as important.

Is Past Life Regression Therapy Ethical?

Most therapies and counselling involve some level of regression. Past life and regression therapy have simply provided more focus in this area. Unfortunately are are therapists with little or poor standard training that may asking leading questions or through this be accused of introducing false memories. Professionally trained Past Life Therapists and Regression Therapist are trained to only ask open questions such as "Tell me more" or "What happens next" so this never happens.

Is Supervision Needed for Past Life Regression Therapy Training?

Absolutely and training schools either include the costs as part of the training until qualification or as a separate fee. This can be a significant cost as several hours of supervision may be needed.

What experience do Past Life Regression Therapy Trainers Need?

They need to have a depth of therapy skills built over several years, but this does not make them good trainers. Training skills need to be developed as well and the Past Life Regression Academy has a three year trainer training program.
