Reclaiming Your Life: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Regression Therapy to Overcome the Effects of Childhood Abuse - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book lays out a powerful program for healing the effects of childhood abuse. Provides practical & compassionate guidance on dismantling the childhood defenses of repression & denial in order to access buried experiences & emotions -- & by re-experiencing the pain to finally heal. Using examples from her private practice over the last 14 years, Jenson shows that 12-step & similar programs, as well as traditional therapies, do not fully deal with the phenomenon of repressed pain. Until this pain is processed -- retrieved from the unconscious, fully experienced, & grieved over -- she believes adults will be trapped in the patterns of childhood.

From Library Journal
A psychotherapist with a Masters in social work, Jenson here advocates her version of recently maligned regression therapy. She contends that many adult relationship problems may be traced to our childhood coping mechanisms. She recommends identifying childhood fears and abuse?broadly defined as any painful childhood memory?and working through them using a clearly outlined inventory and grief process. The book comprises a discussion of her theory of regression therapy; brief, illustrative case studies from her practice; and, lastly, step-by-step instructions for the lay reader. While regression therapy has been accused of planting false memories through hypnosis and other means, the advice Jenson gives is innocuous enough not to cause any psychological harm. Given the current popularity of this controversial topic, this book should be considered as balance for its self-help methodology.?A. Arro Smith, San Marcos P.L., Tex.
