time line therapy v age regression

[tomlondonuk]

I’m currently studying hypnosis with an interest in age regression and hypno analysis.

From what I have read time line therapy uses a kind of age regression to get rid of problems.

what I want to know is in age regression the technique of getting someone to regress back is called the affect bridge which is were you tell someone to feel a feeling and go back to an earlier time when they felt the same feeling until you get back to the root course of the feeling the ise (initial sensitizing) event and then you can use various techniques like gestalt therapy, forgiveness therapy, parts mediation ect to change the way the event is perceived. What I want to know is how you know that you have got to the ise using timeline therapy. And once the ise has been found what techniques are used to solve the problem.

What I want to know is how you know that you have got to the ise using timeline therapy.

What I was taught: you ask the client's subconscious. It knows what the root cause is/was. When you find the event, ask them to look back even further into the past on their timeline and see if there're more occurances of that emotion/belief. The event may be from this lifetime. It may be in the womb. It may be previous lifetimes. It may be geneological, as in an event from an ancestor's lifetime. You accept what the client says, and keep your own personal (and perhaps conflicting) beliefs about what past life memories are out of the picture.

Cool stuff!!!! I love timeline work.

Tom, in one post, you tell us you have been to a seminar on hypnosis, while now you are telling us that you are studying hypnosis. One of these statements is not correct unless you change it to "I am about to study hypnosis" and if this is so, it would seem that you are putting the cart before the horse, and trying to learn in advance of training. First of all, this is not an online teaching program, we recognise that we are unable to teach at a distance without danger to the public. Secondly, you are all over the map with your questions, mixing TLT with hypnosis etc. Something that can be very confusing to one not yet versed in either.
I would suggest you stick to one method only, and that is to take proper training, and accept what you are told until such time as you are sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable as to question what you originally learned, and ensure that you understood it as intended.
I am sure you would not be so foolish as to expect to learn surgery online, so accept that what we do is mind surgery, and must be properly taught if it is to be of value to you, and not dangerous to others you come in contact with.

The "affect bridge" does not have to be done in trance. If you want to learn Time Line Therapy, you would have to contact Dr. Tad James. His son Matt, that owns this Forum teaches Time Line Essence. Richard Bandler had written about and taught many different forms of time line work as well as has Carmine Baffa. Learn to walk before you run! Time Line Therapy is a combination of hypnosis and NLP as is Time Line Essence. Dr. Bandler's is done is trance. As for Carmine's, you'd have to ask Skip or Docresults.

Also the "affect bridge" is a different way of doing "parts therapy". One is not right and all the remainder wrong. It just depends on what you are doing at the time, i.e., the more skills in the toolbox the better practitioner you are. Something to think about, huh? Pood :rolleyes:

If the event believed to be the ISE is cleared through TLT work but the client still has undesired emotions, feelings, etc. during the memory of later events while in an associated state, the ISE is an earlier event.

[Poodle]

correctly, the ISE is referred to as an SEE and the client's goals have to be SMART. It's easier on the client as the client does not have to relive the "bad" or "negative" event AGAIN. Floating above it has no feelings attached. It may have changed some since I learned it as mine only goes as far as 1995. Pood

Some wise words, Tom. Listen to them. The most important is not
to try to do what you have not yet been taught to do.

If your course is a good one, you will learn all you need to about
regression and what to do when your client is regressed by whatever method.
Then you will take that information and create your own methodology.

Best of luck.

in age regression the technique of getting someone to regress back is called the affect bridge which is were you tell someone to feel a feeling and go back to an earlier time when they felt the same feeling until you get back to the root course of the feeling the ise (initial sensitizing) event and then you can use various techniques like gestalt therapy, forgiveness therapy, parts mediation ect to change the way the event is perceived.

That is but one method.

Time line therapy (R) does not concern itself with an ISE, as the first event sought in TLT may be before the ISE and seemingly unrelated.

Consider: Two men in Iraq. Part of a group (platoon?)
The group is blown away leaving the two men.
One develops PTSD, the other doesn't.
The ISE is the event in Iraq.
Why didn't both men develop PTSD?
Probably, the one who now has PTSD had an earlier experience which the PTSD associated with.
TLT seeks that early experience which is not an ISE.
