I'm not really sure you are talking about the same sort of thing as what I understand to be "regression therapy." So I'll start off by stating what I think it means, and you can let us know if you meant something different?

Regression therapy - when a person is either put into hypnosis, or enters a meditative state, with the intention of gaining insight into or visions of past lives. The word "therapy" would indicate that this is being done to help resolve issues that are affecting one in THIS life, which may have a root cause in the events of a past life.

So - In order to have a positive opinion of "regression therapy," one has to believe in reincarnation. I don't. So, not believing in reincarnation in the first place, regression therapy is at best a fantasy. Why participate in something that will not give you any true answers about your problems?

Thus no - I have never had it.

Is it demonic, you ask? Depends upon context. If there is a demon present, anything can become "Demonic." If no demons are present, I think it is no worse than simply being foolish.

regression therapy is done by people who believe in reincarnation, or in ghosts of dead people being able to possess into people of today...

demonic possession is not spirits of people who still float around here... they are evil spirits... fallen angels... ruling powers, etc as described in the Bible..

when a person dies, they go to heaven or hell... they do not float around here, do not possess or enter another person...

I know some so called deliverance people teach such, and in their performances, talk to supposedly dead people from the past, removes them from people, according to their deception, when in reality it is just another kind of 'seance' as done by those who believe in reincarnation or spirits of dead people still patrolling this sphere... Those are not dead people from the past, they are what the Bible calls devils... evil spirits...

the Bible teaches that a child of God is present with the Lord, goes to heaven at time of death, to not return until the resurrection time/second coming of Jesus...

sinners go to hell fire... as the rich man in Luke died, and the next moment as he lifted up his eyes to see where he was, he was in hell... he asked to go back, and was told that was impossible...

some so called 'deliverance' people claim to use regression to talk to supposedly dead persons on curses that were put on a persons ancestor...

we are redeemed from curses, we do not suffer due to some curse on a former ancestor... any so called conversation with an ancestor like that is really a conversation with the devil... deliverance people who do such 'conversations' are foolishly working with deceptive demons...

it is a form of witchcraft... demonic... definitely something Christians do not do...

Trouble is some christian consellers, whomay or may not have public liability cover and be part of a recognised and reputable professional body, may attempt to 'recover memories' using adapted forms of regressive psychotheraphy. Some claim to have the gift of knowledge that has told them that the person they are ministering to has something hidden that they must recall.

That is incredibly dangerous and potentially longlasting source of harm for the person subjected to such treatment.

In the hands of a competant and fully trained psychotherapist, it can be a tool that helps someone get past a place they have become stuck. This allows them to move forward to healing and living their life with some joy.

Sadly very few have the ability and are willing to undertake the training needed as it can take years to qualify as a clinical psychoanaylist.

Thank you people .

I ask because my Sister has had it done .

And basically - she started saying that from deep within her - a little girl spoke and basically said she had been rejected by her mother. Her relationship with my mum is good, but she has always felt I was the favorite.

Thanks.

that kind of bringing to 'remembrance' a past hurt that is buried in the subconscious, is best done with a 'word of knowledge', and then with a 'word of wisdom' knowing how to handle such memory of what the mind, in self defense, had chosen to forget. We are to be Holy Spirit filled, and use such gifts to uncover hidden hurts... We do not talk to demons who are liars anyhow, to uncover a person's inner hurt, or some 'curse' from centuries ago (supposedly)... demons are not our source for 'words of knowledge', it is the Holy Spirit we talk to about those things

we have gifts of the Spirit to do such... and hopefully the wisdom of our Holy Spirit to guide us in counseling...

the world does such in other ways...

the 'regression therapy' that I spoke of in previous post, is what some deliverance people are doing... and that is a whole different thing, perverted by devils, and deceiving many...

Hypnosis...animal magnatism...voodo...mantra...all produce trance states...humans are inclined toward suggestion without trance state and imagination and visualization effect our everyday lives....the effect of these three things when in trance are capable creating great delusion...deception...and destruction. The phycologist...spiritualist...or witchdoctor...has an influance over the person to such a degree as to create false memories and. compulsions which in turn effect belief and by such action....
Even if such a person was trustworthy...consider Jesus closest apostle Peter was once used as satans mouthpiece....and James and John were angling for position when Jesus was heading to his death....point being seek to have the mind of Christ...which was the Fathers will performed in the flesh...dont lean on men for understanding of who and what you are but trust your creator....for if you let a man in your head he will steal kill and destroy....your creator on the other hand comes to bring you life and life more abundant.

I take it Murj you are more into these TRUTH encounters than anything POWER related.

I am "into" the Holy Spirit POWER related events... not the evil spirit deceptive power... The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, so all of His power gifts are truth and power. Power gifts built on un-Biblical things are not truth, not God's power. The antichrist and false prophet will do miracles, false prophets will do miracles, there is power galore to be seduced by... but the Holy Spirit of Truth will lead us from those deceptions of power with truth...

God's power makes the devils' imitations of such to look pathetic... The false ones in Egypt may throw down their rods and they become snakes, but the rod of God becomes a sea monster that devours them...

In my ministry through the years, I have been privileged by the Lord to be at the expulsion, casting out, of many, many demons, ruling powers, fallen angels... It was done in Bible truth, not a 'show' or 'performance', and the TRUTH sets free. The clowns that make it a Hollywood production are normally so far from truth, it is really under the direction of the demons themselves. They lead to more and more sin. They have human cohorts that pretend to remove objects in spiritual surgery, and with slight of hand pretend to pull objects from the bodies of the victims of their charade. No truth in that, no God's power in that... That is human deception mixed with demonic lies.

I have never heard a deliverance minister claim that they could do this to find out about generational curses. Every deliverance circle I have know takes a very hard stance on the idea that all spirits=demons, and would never suggest that info can be gleaned by contacting dead relatives. If you've run into that, they are even further outside the mainstream than most deliverance-oriented groups.

You are correct that most deliverance ministers are into truth, not the kind I described herein...

there are a few who are so strange and deceived that they actually claim to talk to people of the past to reveal 'curses' and their reasons supposedly on a person of today, due to the sin of a person of the past...

those evil spirits that pretend to be (for instance) a 104 year old man who murdered someone, so the present day relative is being punished for it, are fooling even some claiming to be 'anointed deliverance ministers'. The evil spirits are claiming many victims to those lies. The few claiming to be 'deliverance ministers' are claiming victims amidst the novices and naïve of the church.

Yes, there's mixture. I had good counselling though where someone got a Word of God and he saw that when I was in the whomb there was death. I asked my mother, with 4 months she started bleeding and the doctor said it was hopeless, but she thought God did a miracle, because I was born without problems. Turned out that we were a twin and the other one died. That was with Ellel.
