This phenomenon can occur spontaneously during a regular session. This can be recognized by the fact that the subject in the regression
- when asked his age, the respondent gives an age that is older than he is today
- he reports situations that do not correspond to this age
- he does not see himself as “himself” but as another person
Here it is important to pick up the subject where he stands and work with what he gives us. It is not up to us to evaluate his ideas, beliefs and inner world. It may well be important for him to see things this way and to use it as an opportunity to present a solution to his problem.
If it happens, just keep working, as in a regular regression. Let your subject find the solution that suits him and become aware of the things that are important for his current life.
