I have huge chunks of time I don't remember, mostly surrounding my mother. My T doesn't want to regress me for fear of false memories arising. However, I recalled something in therapy last week about a neighbor when I was growing up. T said, "If you want to try to learn more about the other neighbor who cared for you when your mother was drinking, sit in a comfortable chair, close your eyes and think of that person. Other thoughts might intrude, but gently bring your mind back to the person you were thinking of."

At first, I thought this sounded like mindfulness meditation, but my understanding of practicing mindfulness is to concentrate on breathing and letting thoughts float past and not to focus on any one thing.


Does anyone know what 'regression therapy' looks/sounds/feels like?


Thanks for any information anyone is willing to share...
