A separate direction
Regression work is a distinct area of practice. It is not a required continuation of individual work, and its format does not automatically follow that of ordinary consultations.
Methods
In regression work, Alexander draws on Elman hypnosis, Ericksonian hypnosis, generative trance, shamanic trance methods, and Siddha Yoga.
The format is discussed individually
Expectations, questions, and the particular way of working are discussed before the session begins.
Important
This article is not a diagnosis, treatment, or a guide to undertaking depth work on your own. Questions about whether the format is appropriate for your situation should be discussed before a session.
From Alexander's notes
Depth work is often described in grand terms. I prefer clarity: naming the methods, not inventing a script, and discussing only what is appropriate for the individual person.
