FIRST SESSION SUMMARY
We began the session by first ensuring Eva felt completely safe, grounded, and supported. I invited her to settle into her body, become comfortable, and gently guided her through slow progressive relaxation-softening her breath, releasing tension from her neck and shoulders, and allowing her nervous system to loosen its grip. Once her breath deepened, I used sensory cues and imagery to establish her engrams, helping her connect with familiar emotional landscapes. From there, we began the standard induction: walking her into a peaceful garden, leading her gently down the symbolic staircase that represents deeper access to memory, and then allowing her subconscious to show whatever scenes it was ready to reveal.
Eva first touched moments from her childhood-some pleasant, some painful, many of which she had already shared in her personal history. Her system acknowledged the early abandonment, loneliness, and emotional neglect she experienced. She remained stable through these scenes.
Womb Regression – Session 2
As we moved deeper, I guided Eva toward the experience of her mother’s womb. Immediately, she became tense and uncomfortable. She described the environment as extremely tight, dark, and difficult to breathe in, emotionally heavy rather than physically literal. She said she could sense her mother’s unhappiness, her father’s frustration, and even her grandfather’s disapproval. She felt surrounded by conflict.
Eva reported hearing raised voices-arguments between her parents and sensing a deep rejection from her mother. She said it felt as if her mother didn’t want her and was overwhelmed by the emotional atmosphere in the family. Her breathing became heavier at this point, her face paler, and her body visibly distressed.
At one moment, Eva perceived her mother expressing anger toward the pregnancy itself. The emotional intensity caused Eva to breathe rapidly and begin crying. I immediately intervened with grounding techniques-slowing her breath, reassuring her that she was safe in the present moment, encouraging her to float above the scene as a compassionate observer, and reminding her that what she was witnessing was not happening now and could not harm her.
Throughout, I maintained a soft, steady tone, continually checking in with her, offering reassurance, and keeping her anchored. Despite the discomfort, she remained aware and cooperative, but it was clear the emotional load of the womb memories was overwhelming.
Observations
Eva’s body language, breath shifts, and emotional release were all strong indicators that the womb experience held significant unresolved pain, rejection, and early imprints. She responded well to grounding instructions and returned to baseline relatively quickly once guided out.
Session Closure & Emergence
Because Eva was feeling deeply uncomfortable and did not want to continue further into the regression, I gently brought her out of the experience. Using breath awareness and a slow count-up emergence, I guided her back into full consciousness, ensuring she felt stable, safe, and emotionally contained before we closed the session. She opened her eyes with full awareness, and we spent time grounding her and integrating what surfaced.
Integration Notes
- Eva expressed that the womb experience felt extremely heavy and she did not wish to go deeper at this time.
- She was relieved to come out of the regression and preferred to keep this as a single-session experience for now.
- She acknowledged understanding more clearly why her relationship with her mother feels emotionally loaded and painful.
- She shared that she needed time to process what surfaced and was content not to explore further lives during this session.
- I acknowledged that Eva’s emotional response was valid and appropriate given the depth of early imprints.
- Future sessions (if she chooses) may focus on safety-building, resourcing, inner-child repair, and emotional stabilization before deeper regression.
