Back in 2010 Psychology Researchers conducted a study called: The Effects of Physical Enclosure on Psychological Closure. (click on the link to read the actual study). Participants were asked to write down something unpleasant from the past, such as regrets and put 
their written accounts in an envelope. One group was instructed to seal the envelopes and the other group was instructed to leave them open. The participants in the study who sealed their written accounts of loss or regret inside an envelope reported feeling much less troubled by these memories than the participants who had written them down but not sealed them in.
This scientific study and others with similar results suggest that we can get emotional or psychological closure as well as minimize regrets by practicing simple but powerful actions that activate the feelings in the subconscious mind. What I love about this study is that it offers main stream scientific back up for what Hypnotherapists have known for a long time. In fact, we can help clients reach closure, resolution or feel relief from many burdening emotions through hypnosis..
Three of the most commonly used hypnotic techniques to help clients looking to get emotional closure are: (1) Past showers-Future flowers (2) Cloud Watching, and (3) Locking out of Date Feelings. The techniques I use depend on the client and the particular situation. No two people are alike and therefore, no treatment should be either.
The subconscious is the most powerful part of our minds. It can help us create and recreate realities and experiences. Tapping into it is easier than many think.
