Reconnecting to Core Wounding

Reader Stories: What My Regression Therapy Session Was Like

From JulesSteffen

Why I Chose Regression Therapy

I've experienced regressive therapy for many years and see it as part of my personal healing journey given that I am a licensed mental health counselor and believe I cannot ask my clients to do anything I am not willing to do for myself. I cannot ask them to be on their own healing journey unless I am also committed to my own healing journey. As I witnessed the healing within myself after repeated regressions, I knew that this was to be my life's work, my passion. Years later, I connected to deeper regressive work of going back to my pre- and perinatal times, another amazing world of wounding and healing opened up.

About My Regression Therapy Session

Some people are able to remember many vivid details when regressing back to earlier times in their life. For me, it was more about reconnecting to the feelings that reside inside of me - the sadness, anger, and fear - being the core woundings. I did have some experiences of past lives - and was able to receive the lessons for this life and release the energy of that past life.

Given my Cherokee heritage, I have had a lot of imagery and emotion about bloodshed within the Cherokee Nation. As I traveled backward during my regressions, the feelings poured out of me from the many layers piled up on top of layers. And when I connected to the healing work of pre-and perinatal shock wounding, (the healing work of Dr. William Emerson and Arrow DeGroot) a realm of knowing and wisdom inside of me was revealed. It's in the pre- and perinatal realm where our core woundings began and all the woundings in our life after birth stem from those very early wounds.

I continue to find healing as I enter the very wounding times around preconception (leaving the Spirit World), conception, and implantation - implanting into the uterine wall. It's amazing healing work and is the focus of my practice with my clients.

Advice

  • Because I have found regressive work to be so powerful in my own life, it is the focus of my professional work. The realm of pre- and perinatal shock wounding work is the specialty that targets one's core wounds, the very first woundings that occurred for us upon leaving the Spirit World and continued to occur for us as we embodied in a physical body after our conception.
  • Our feelings about these experiences stay tethered within our bodies. Specific wounding themes trail after our early core wounds.
