This is the emotional engine room of the course. You’ll explore regression in all its forms—diagnostic, age-based, free-floating, and even past life regression—learning how to uncover and work with the beliefs and emotional experiences that shape how clients think, feel, and behave.

By the end of this module, you’ll be confident guiding clients through layered emotional work—whether that’s rooted in real memory, symbolic narrative, or imagined experience with meaning. You’ll be working at the level where change truly happens.

In this module, we go beyond the obvious. You’ll learn how to work with anxiety not just as a feeling—but as a symptom of deeper patterns, emotional conflict, and unmet needs. You’ll also learn how to support clients through physicalised symptoms and compulsive behaviours where the root is often unconscious and emotional.

This module focuses on the heavier emotional realities that clients bring into the room—grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic illness. You’ll learn how to use hypnosis in a grounded, ethical, and sensitive way when working with complex emotional presentations and physical health conditions.

In this final module, we bring together everything you’ve learned—refining your therapeutic style, expanding your clinical range, and preparing you to practise safely, ethically, and professionally.
