When I was young I was afraid of the dark, I had trouble sleeping, ran from imaginary monsters in the middle of the night and generally hated being in dark places.  While in time, I "grew" out of this habit I believe now that one mystical experience allowed me to realize I was always safe.  I soon understood that it wasn't the dark that was the problem but the things I had hidden in the darkness that were causing my distress.  When I finally uncovered the truth of my past and stood up for myself, the nightmares ended, and the work to become whole began.

It is the internal turmoil of things left unsaid, actions hidden and unknown forces feared that seem to fall under a veil of darkness within.  These places where we believe we can hide away that which challenges us or calls into question our idea of safety are really not "places" at all.  So it is no wonder that when we fall asleep or find ourselves in darkened solitude that they take shapes seemingly all on their own.  We can only banish them when we realize we are in control of them, and in fact it is us who are responsible for their very existence.  For it is not the past that harms us but our own relentless, internal, pilgrimage to resurrect the missteps, tragedies and transgressions of the past  that bring the memory of the moment back to life. 

Hypnotherapy is a great tool for managing the power of such regression by taking the client from the shadows of their past into the light of present day.  Even better, when coupled with The Power Plan program a person can take control of their whole life by designing action steps to help create a brighter future full of purpose, passion and power.
