Guilt and Regression Therapy

Jan 25, 2001 - © T. Darlene Cheek

Since reading the book Life Without Guilt, I have been talking about the subject in depth with the members of my new self-empowerment class. Yes, guilt definitely takes our power away from us! I've been given permission by the class to share some of our experiences with you. (Student's names have been changed to protect their confidentiality.)

Julie's story: Julie was married at a very young age to a gorgeous man who seemed perfect in every way. That is, until he started beating her. Even though he beat her on many occasions, Julie felt like there was no possible way she could ever leave him. She says that looking back, she realizes she felt like he owned her in some way. She felt like his slave.

This gave me insight in what might be causing some of Julie's problems as she continued to tell me that he is now stalking her, and she still feels helpless to do anything about it. Julie, by the way, is now happily married to another man and has four beautiful children.

As I took her into hypnosis, I asked her to go back to the first life with Donnie. Sure enough, Julie saw herself standing in the bedchamber of a castle. Sprawled out across an enormous bed was an enormous and grotesque man. Julie saw herself carry a tray of food over to this man. Instead of accepting the food, he knocked the tray from her hand and proceeded to beat her until she was unconscious. Several scenes of this lifetime revealed the same set of circumstances. Each time Julie saw these scenes, she stated feeling an intense amount of guilt because she wasn't being a good servant to her master.

Now that Julie understands her guilt and ties to this man she used to be married to in this life and was a servant to in another, she has been able to let go of the guilt, realizing that it has nothing to do with her life now. She has let go of the shame of letting him beat her in this life because she realizes she was following a past-life pattern. Julie is beginning to heal and has pressed charges against her ex-husband/stalker.

Carey's story: Carey is also happily married, but she often feels bad about herself because she is overweight. She has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Her weight and self-esteem issues have also created problems in her sexual relationship with her husband.
