Therapy feels like normal talking but it the use of technical language which actually reduces anxiety in professional counselling . If your anxiety is reduced, you have been responding to therapy in some form . Reducing anxiety through drugs, alcohol or casual affairs might make you dependent but self review and self healing with guidance makes you independent of addictions.
Healing happens subconsciously after using relaxation methods that slow brain waves as experienced under meditation and during alpha or theta states of mind , which help in neuroplasticity as the brain rewires itself with guidance to be positive with willingness ,in an objectively viewed situation.
Case 1: T.K – A 42-Year-Old Anthropologist Battling Bipolar Depression
T.K., a 42-year-old research fellow in anthropology and Ph.D. graduate from Australia, sought therapy in 2018. She underwent two intensive sessions of five hours each, which included six hours of applied psychological interventions and four hours of hypnotherapy. Her symptoms included bipolar mood swings, past trauma from a divorce and abortion, and unresolved emotional pain.
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT was applied to identify antecedents of her depression, revealing significant life stressors including a failed marriage, abortion, and the bipolar disorder pattern.
2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT helped explore her struggles with emotional regulation and risky behavior, such as procuring an overdose of depression medication by misusing prescriptions.
3. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
This approach was used to help her detach from negative thinking patterns and focus on developing insights and actionable steps forward.
4. Client-Centered Therapy
T.K. was empowered to access her own inner wisdom through a non-directive, supportive dialogue encouraging self-awareness and self-trust.
5. Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt techniques helped explore her early family dynamics through the figure-ground relationship, enhancing her understanding of unresolved conflicts with her parents.
6. Hypnotherapy
Progressive muscle relaxation and alpha-level deepening were used to access the subconscious mind. Due to her atheistic stance, past life regression was avoided, and age regression was the primary method used under hypnosis.
7. Psychodynamic Therapy
During age regression, she accessed painful childhood memories, including a traumatic incident involving her father, which had been deeply repressed. This breakthrough helped reframe her longstanding anger toward her mother.
8. Spirit Releasement Therapy
Following the discovery of her father’s emotional influence even after his death, this method was used to energetically release his presence from her subconscious.
9. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
ABA strategies helped recondition her emotional responses, introducing new positive reinforcers to replace the old trauma-driven behavior patterns.
10. Inner Child Healing
She visualized retrieving her wounded inner child from her father's lap, offering comfort, and reclaiming her sense of safety and dignity.
11. Energy Cord Cutting
This method facilitated emotional detachment from past lovers and parents, enabling her to delete painful memory associations and install new, empowering beliefs.
12. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP techniques helped restructure limiting beliefs and install value systems more aligned with emotional freedom and psychological well-being.
Outcome:
Her Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score dropped dramatically from 38 to 12, in 3 sessions (9 hours therapy) indicating successful resolution of core emotional pain.
Case 2: V.B – A 25-Year-Old Postgraduate Struggling With Chronic Depression
In 2019, V.B., a 25-year-old woman with a long history of depression and unsuccessful psychiatric interventions, sought past life regression therapy. She completed 10 sessions of three hours each, combining counseling and hypnotherapy.
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT revealed a pattern of avoidance behavior after completing her master’s degree, leading to stagnation and hopelessness.
2. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT was used to identify how her perceptions of social relationships and family contributed to emotional dysregulation.
3. Gestalt Therapy
This technique clarified the contrast between her own ambitions and the ambitions imposed by her parents, identifying root causes of internal resistance and guilt.
4. Client-Centered Therapy
She was gently guided to discover answers from within her subconscious, helping her feel more in control and validated.
5. Solution-Focused Therapy
Sessions remained goal-oriented, helping her move forward without getting trapped in depressive rumination.
6. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
ABA was used to understand her preferred emotional experiences and redirect her lifestyle goals accordingly.
7. Hypnotherapy and Regression
Using progressive relaxation and alpha deepening, she underwent:
-
Age Regression to process childhood trauma
-
Past Life Regression to uncover karmic patterns tied to unresolved suicides in earlier incarnations
Though initially skeptical, the subconscious narrative provided therapeutic value. Several breakthroughs occurred when viewing her classmate from graduation as a past-life spouse involved in betrayal and emotional pain.
8. Psychodynamic Therapy
Repressed memories of sexual boundary violations during her student years resurfaced. Therapy helped her reframe the guilt she carried and recognize her innocence.
9. Inner Child Healing
She healed a sense of betrayal and abandonment by reclaiming her inner child’s innocence and strength.
10. Spirit Releasement Therapy
Used to clear lingering energetic imprints from past trauma and soul memories, which provided a deep sense of relief after each session.
11. Energy Cord Cutting
This technique helped her detach from toxic emotional ties to friends and lovers who triggered shame or confusion.
12. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP assisted in deleting disempowering memories, reprogramming emotional triggers, and strengthening her self-worth and conscience alignment.
Outcome:
Her BDI score significantly reduced from 48 to 10, indicating a strong return to mental health and stability. She eventually expressed readiness to take a government job, and restart with optimism .
Conclusion
These two case studies demonstrate how a multimodal therapy approach, combining cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, hypnotherapeutic, and energy-based methods, can effectively transform deep-rooted trauma and depression. The structured integration of CBT, DBT, Gestalt, NLP, ABA, energy cord cutting, spirit releasement, and inner child healing can lead to profound healing outcomes, even when conventional therapy has not succeeded.
