Anxiety and the Search for Past Lives: Which Path to Take First?

I recently received a phone call from a woman I’ll call Betty, who was interested in a past life regression (PLR) session. She explained that she has been struggling with anxiety and wonders if something from a past life could be the cause.

Her internal struggle—whether to focus on managing her anxiety through conventional methods or to uncover potential past-life influences—has been keeping her awake at night. She questions whether understanding her past life will bring relief or if she should prioritize proven coping strategies first.

So, the big question remains: Should she address her anxiety first through conventional methods, or explore past life regression to seek answers?

The Case for Addressing Anxiety First

Pros:

• Evidence-based therapies (CBT, meditation, hypnosis, medication) provide proven relief.

• Helps manage daily life without relying on uncertain past-life explanations.

• Anxiety may stem from current life experiences rather than past lives.

  
  

Cons:

• Conventional methods may not fully satisfy curiosity about deeper-rooted causes.

• If anxiety is rooted in unresolved past-life trauma, traditional therapy might not address it.

  
  

The Case for Exploring Past Life Regression First

Pros:

• Might provide emotional closure if anxiety is linked to a past-life experience.

• Some report profound insights and a sense of peace after regression therapy.

• Could help uncover subconscious fears that modern therapy might not address.
  

Cons:

• No scientific evidence supports past life regression as a solution for anxiety.

• Risk of suggestion or false memories influencing perceptions.

• If anxiety is caused by present-day issues, regression may be a distraction rather than a solution.
  

Finding a Balanced Approach

• Combining both: Managing anxiety with proven methods while exploring past-life regression as a complementary tool.

• Encouraging mindfulness, self-reflection, and professional guidance before making a decision.
  

Conclusion

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. While conventional therapies provide a solid foundation for managing anxiety, past life regression may offer additional insights for those who feel drawn to it. Ultimately, the decision should be based on personal beliefs, openness to different approaches, and a willingness to explore solutions that bring the most peace and healing.
