The International Board for Regression Therapy

IBRT is the first independent nonprofit organization dedicated to certifying Past Life Regression Therapists and accrediting Regression Therapy training programs. For more than 25 years, IBRT has supported excellence in practice, education, and professional development, 

Understanding Regression Therapy

Regression Therapy, also known as Past Life Therapy or Past Life Regression Therapy, is a client-centered approach that explores the deeper origins of present-day challenges and patterns. Through guided regression experiences, clients may access memories, imagery, symbolism, or past life “stories” that offer insight, perspective, and opportunities for healing, growth, and transformation.
