Regression therapy, also called past-life therapy or past-life regression therapy, is client-centered. It focuses upon the discovery of the origins of a client's problem.

In the past few decades, regression therapy has begun to emerge as a dynamic and vital therapeutic modality embracing many disciplines, both traditional and non-traditional. It is a hybrid concept which has created an effective trans-disciplinary approach through a theoretical synthesis of many modalities.

Regression therapy defies a narrow, rigid definition, but an important characteristic which distinguishes past-life regression therapy from other therapeutic approaches is in its focus upon the discovery of the original causes of a client's problems and in the acceptance of the theory that present life issues or problems may have their origin in past lives, real or symbolic, and in its willingness to explore this possibility with clients.
