Memory retrieval regressions give clients an opportunity to recover important memories that can positively contribute to their quality of life. Memory retrieval is done only for situations that are emotionally neutral. Clients are not regressed into highly-traumatic events, memories of which have been blocked. Past trauma can be dealt with through hypnotherapy, but brining back suppressed memories that can re-traumatize the client is always avoided. Memory retrieval has been used by clients to find misplaced items, remember a piece of information that has been forgotten, and to reconstruct “lost” time. Memory retrieval regressions are scheduled only if I consider them safe for the client.
