In affect bridge regression, what serves as the primary vehicle for traveling back to an earlier memory?
Answer: A specific emotion or body sensation
The affect bridge uses a current feeling or somatic sensation as a bridge to locate earlier experiences where the same feeling originated.
When a client spontaneously enters what appears to be a past-life regression, the most professionally appropriate response is to:
Answer: Work therapeutically within the client's experience without confirming or denying its literal truth
BCH ethics require the hypnotist to remain neutral and work within the client's phenomenological frame without making metaphysical claims.
The 'floatback' technique in regression therapy asks the client to:
Answer: Let a negative cognition or feeling float them back to an earlier related memory
Floatback uses a negative belief or emotion as the anchor and invites the unconscious to drift back to the originating event.
Which of the following best describes 'bridging' in regression therapy?
Answer: Linking a present symptom to its historical root through emotion, sensation, or imagery
Bridging techniques connect a current presenting symptom or feeling to its historical source event.
After accessing a traumatic regression memory, the FIRST priority before ending the session is to:
Answer: Ensure the client is reoriented, stable, and in a positive state
Client stabilization and a positive closing state are mandatory before terminating any regression session involving traumatic content.
In a somatic bridge regression, the hypnotist typically instructs the client to:
Answer: Intensify a physical sensation and allow it to lead them to the first time they felt it
A somatic bridge amplifies the body sensation and uses it as a compass to locate the originating event.
What is the purpose of 'future pacing' at the close of a regression therapy session?
Answer: To help the client mentally rehearse applying new insights in upcoming real-life situations
Future pacing bridges newly gained insight into anticipated future contexts, reinforcing behavioral and emotional change.
