Hypnosis and/or a Past Life Regression (PLR), Life Between Lives (LBL), Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), or a Past Life Regression Workshop, involves hypnosis or a guided meditation to explore possible past lives. While some find it insightful or therapeutic, it may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some people who should reconsider attending:
Certain medications can interfere with hypnosis or past life regression therapy (PLR) by affecting focus, suggestibility, memory, or emotional stability. Here are some types of medications that may be contraindicated:
1. Psychiatric Medications
- People with Serious Mental Health Conditions – Those with schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, severe anxiety, or depression should consult a mental health professional before attending, as hypnosis may trigger distressing experiences in people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BDP), Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, psychotic symptoms.
- Highly Skeptical Individuals – If you strongly believe PLR is nonsense, you may not be open to the process, making it ineffective or frustrating.
- Those Seeking Absolute Proof – PLR is subjective and not scientifically proven. If you expect concrete evidence, you may be disappointed.
- Anyone Prone to Suggestibility or False Memories – If you struggle with distinguishing reality from imagination, PLR could create confusion or false memories.
- Individuals with Trauma or PTSD – Exploring past lives may unintentionally bring up unresolved trauma, potentially making symptoms worse.
- Those Expecting Instant Healing or Miracles – PLR is not a replacement for therapy, medical treatment, or deep personal work.
- People with Strong Religious or Ethical Concerns – If PLR conflicts with your spiritual or religious beliefs, it might cause discomfort or inner conflict.
Certain medications can interfere with hypnosis or past life regression therapy (PLR) by affecting focus, suggestibility, memory, or emotional stability. Here are some types of medications that may be contraindicated:
1. Psychiatric Medications
- Antipsychotics (e.g., Risperidone, Olanzapine, Haloperidol) – Can affect perception, reality testing, and cognitive clarity, making hypnosis unreliable.
- Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Valium, Ativan, Klonopin) – Reduce anxiety but also impair focus and memory recall, making deep hypnosis difficult.
- Mood Stabilizers (e.g., Lithium, Depakote, Lamotrigine) – Used for bipolar disorder; may affect emotional processing during regression.
- Antidepressants (e.g., Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, Wellbutrin) – Can impact emotional depth, memory access, or ability to enter a hypnotic state.
- Amphetamines (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse) – Increase alertness but may hinder relaxation needed for hypnosis.
- Z-drugs (e.g., Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata) – May induce drowsiness rather than the focused relaxation needed for hypnosis.
- Opioids (e.g., Oxycodone, Morphine, Fentanyl, Tramadol) – Can dull awareness and affect memory recall, making regression unreliable.
- Impair cognitive function, suggestibility, and emotional processing.
