NEUROBIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN REGRESSION THERAPY PROCESS
NEUROBIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN REGRESSION THERAPY PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: This paper will examine the assumed neurobiological changes in the regression therapy treatment process. The study is based on qualitative research of multiple traumatic experiences in non-hypnotic regression therapy, as described by P. Balint, whose method focuses on the trauma healing process (with the intention of comprehending the method’s potential in healing trauma) and relates it to neurobiological processes. The aim of this paper is to explain the results of the research via neurobiological processes that occur in the process of therapy and are assumed by the neurobiological theory based on scientific research. The results point to the theoretically assumed regulation of the amygdala via PFC activation in the process of becoming aware of trauma in regression, the regulation of emotions and behaviour, and show the potential of regression therapy in healing trauma and the justification of further research into this modality.
