You have suffered from emotional and mental disorders since you were a small child. At the same time, you cannot pinpoint the reasons for it and where these major problems come from. You may remember some troublesome childhood moments, but nothing enough to make you suffer deep down inside like you do. All you know is that you’ve always felt tortured inside. He has gone to doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc. and has been taking drug cocktails. He has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, even physical illnesses and has suffered from low self esteem. The reason for this is unknown and deep down you feel it is due to more than chemical imbalances in the brain. And even though he’s been through years of therapy and medication, he still suffers just as much as he did before seeking solutions to his problems.
If the trauma did not arise from your childhood, when did it arise?
When people hit rock bottom due to their inner suffering, they will begin to look deeper because they are desperate to find peace. Many people end up finding their Higher Power or God and that alone is enough to help them find peace. But I would say that the vast majority of those who believe in reincarnation begin to examine their past lives to find answers to their suffering. It is then that they begin to believe that their suffering did not start in their current life and stemmed from traumatic events that happened to them in previous lives.
How can people find out about their previous lives?
There are a variety of ways for people to discover their past lives. They may turn to hypnotherapists who specialize in past life regression to help them access their past life memories that are buried in their subconscious. People can also get past life astrology readings that can tell everything about their previous life experiences. Mediums who can read past lives can help those who want to know about any trauma they experienced in past lives. For those who are confident enough to do so, they can get a set of self-hypnotic CDs and learn how to tap into their subconscious memories of the past on their own by listening to instructions.
Even if people discover a traumatic event from a past life that caused their current life suffering, will they recover?
Once people find out about something traumatic that happened in their previous lives, it gives them peace of mind to know why they are suffering so much in their current life. However, healing is a process and as someone heals from past life pain or torture, there will be raw feelings and experiences that they will have. These experiences and feelings, while accepting the torture memories of their past life, can last for years. However, it is absolutely possible for anyone to recover from the pain of the past. That also depends on the individual. Some people are afraid of facing painful subconscious memories and therefore end up staying in their comfort zone and suffering at the same time.
People have gone through past life trauma in different lifetimes. However, those who suffered trauma due to previous lives that were recent will suffer more. For example, most reincarnated Holocaust victims deal with a lot of internal pain and suffering for ‘unknown’ reasons. However, once they discover that they were in the Holocaust in their previous lives, many of them will make an effort to heal and become whole again.
