From trauma release and pain management to research-informed methods (Weiss, Newton, Cannon), Craig explains how sessions prioritize healing and insight over belief, why many clients arrive after years of talk therapy, and how virtual sessions keep the work client-led and safe. We also unpack healthy skepticism, the \u201cmetaphor vs. memory\u201d debate, and why intention\u2014not dogma\u2014drives results.

He blends evidence-informed clinical practice with spiritual modalities like past-life regression and life-between-lives work. Author of Past Lives Guidebook.\nKey takeaways:\n\n\nHypnosis is client-led: the facilitator guides; the client\u2019s subconscious drives the experience and integration.\n\n\nSolid foundation matters: Craig trained ~500 hours at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America\u2014clinical first (trauma, anxiety, habits), then medical hypnosis, then regression work.\n\n\nVirtual sessions work well because comfort and safety at home deepen relaxation and recall.\n\n\nCuriosity vs. healing: many arrive intrigued by past lives; many also come after years of therapy seeking practical relief from anxiety, fear, or persistent patterns.\n\n\nOn skepticism: treat past-life content as useful data\u2014authentic memory for some, symbolic healing narrative for others; either way, focus on outcomes.\n\n\nResearch anchors the work (e.g., case studies and large-N session patterns reported by Weiss/Newton/Cannon) while avoiding absolute claims.\n\n\nIntention over ideology: set goals (relief, clarity, purpose) and let the process surface what\u2019s needed.\n\n\nEthics: avoid deterministic \u201cdiagnoses\u201d from regressions; integrate insights with grounded life choices and, where relevant, licensed care.\n\n\nMedical scope: hypnosis may support pain, stress, and coping; it is not a cure and should complement\u2014not replace\u2014medical treatment.\n\n\nIntegration practices: journaling, reflection, and gentle follow-ups help translate session insights into daily behavior change.\n\n\n\u00a0\nHow to connect with the guest\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nhttps://sacredmysteryhypnotherapy.com/\n\n\nBook: Past Lives Guidebook\n\n\nInstagram| LinkedIn| YouTube\n\n\n\u00a0\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
