Past Life Soul Regression and QHHT: What's the Difference?

Both approaches use hypnosis to explore past lives, but they work differently. Here's a clear guide to help you decide which might be right for you.

If you're exploring past life regression, you may have come across two different approaches: Past Life Soul Regression (PLSR) and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT).

Both use hypnosis to explore experiences that seem to come from beyond your current lifetime. But they work differently, and understanding those differences can help you decide which approach might suit you better.

Past Life Soul Regression (PLSR)

PLSR is a flexible, client-centred approach to past life exploration.

Sessions are typically 75 minutes and take place online, making them accessible wherever you are. The approach is adapted to your individual needs and intentions — whether you're coming with a specific question, a recurring theme you want to explore, or simply an open curiosity.

PLSR tends to be a good starting point for people who are new to regression, or who prefer a more conversational, exploratory approach.

Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT)

QHHT is a specific method developed by Dolores Cannon, involving a deeper level of hypnosis and a longer session — typically around three hours.

A distinctive feature of QHHT is the inclusion of what Cannon called the Subconscious — a deeper aspect of the self that, in her framework, holds wisdom, insight and the capacity for healing. Sessions include an extended interview beforehand and a detailed review of the experience afterwards.

QHHT sessions take place in person, in Worcestershire. Because of the depth of the work and the time involved, they tend to suit people who are ready for a more immersive experience.

Which approach is right for you?

There's no single answer to this — it depends on what you're looking for and what feels right for you.

PLSR might suit you if you're new to regression, prefer to work online, or want a shorter, more flexible session. QHHT might suit you if you're drawn to a deeper, more immersive experience and are able to travel to Worcestershire for an in-person session.

If you're unsure, a free introductory conversation is a good place to start. It's a chance to ask questions, talk through what you're hoping to explore, and get a sense of which approach might be the better fit.

Not sure which approach is right for you?

A free 15-minute discovery call is a gentle first step. No pressure, no commitment — just a chance to ask questions and see whether this work resonates.
