Regression therapy

[Grel]

Allo... I haven't tried it. I have to admit if it works for the seeker, it raises a set of questions in terms of possibly distracting the soul from learning or growth.

I don't think it will distract the soul. My personal belief is that your Higher Self/Spirit Guide/What Ever will prevent you from remembering anything that could get you too far off your chosen path (if there is a path you choose before incarnating, that is).
There are people for whom it simply doesn't work. Others have been able to heal phobias and even health issues. Then, there are many people who won't even consider it. Who never ever thought about reincarnation. To me, this looks like you won't be able to retrieve any memories if they could interfere with what ever you're re for. I also believe that working with a therapist could speed healing or what ever up a bit. Probably takes a lot longer when you are on your own.
Wish I could work with a therapist. Would help me to focus and put the puzzle pieces together. Self-regression just isn't the same.

Carol has a great Home Page that explains why it is good for the soul. Here's a small excerpt:

Why Past Life Therapy Works
People often ask me, “How can past life therapy help me? I have enough to deal with in this life.” The short answer is: you’re affected by your past lives whether you’re aware of it or not. Past life experiences create the dominant patterns in your present life. Past life therapy is a direct way to access the origins of these patterns and heal present-life issues. Allow me to explain:

You are not born as a blank slate written upon only by early experiences and heredity, as conventional science would have us believe. You are so much more.

You come into this life as a soul impressed with the wisdom and wounds from many other lifetimes. These impressions are encoded in an "energetic template" that informs your present personality, physical body, and some external circumstances in your life. This template also carries the emotional charges from unresolved traumatic experiences from previous lives, and the plans and blueprints for the present life.
