Let Go of the Past
Find a quiet, comfortable place, press play and let yourself gently set down what you no longer need to carry.
For your safety, please don't listen while driving or doing anything that needs your full attention.
Why do we hold onto the past?
Holding onto the past is a natural human tendency. It's often rooted in unresolved emotions, memories or experiences that continue to shape your present, and you might cling to them for a sense of security or familiarity, even when they involve pain or regret.
Unresolved trauma, guilt or loss can create emotional attachments that make it hard to move forward. Your subconscious mind holds onto these experiences because they've shaped your identity and behaviour, so letting them go can feel unsettling.
But holding onto negative experiences can stop you growing, and create mental and emotional barriers to living a fulfilling life.
How hypnosis can help you let go of the past
Hypnotherapy works with your subconscious mind to help you release emotional attachments and move on from past experiences. It can help you:
Explore deep-rooted emotions and memories safely, with the support of a trained therapist.
Reframe past experiences with new, positive perspectives.
Release negative emotions such as guilt, shame or resentment.
Build healthier ways of coping with past trauma or pain.
Overcome limiting beliefs shaped by past events.
Create a renewed sense of self, free from the weight of past memories.
Cultivate self-compassion and forgiveness, for yourself and others.
When the past still feels too heavy to carry alone
A hypnosis session can help you feel lighter. If painful memories, loss or trauma still affect your daily life, working with a clinical hypnotherapist, counsellor or EMDR therapist can help you work through what happened at a pace that feels safe for you.
You can see your therapist in person at our Fareham practice in Hampshire, or online from anywhere in the UK.

Questions about letting go of the past
Is this let go of the past hypnosis session free?
Yes. You can listen here as often as you like, or download it to listen offline, with nothing to sign up for. For more sessions, take a look at our hypnosis downloads.
When is the best time to listen?
Choose a quiet time when you won't be disturbed and have a little space afterwards, rather than just before something demanding. Sit or lie somewhere comfortable, and listen regularly to get the most from it.
What if difficult feelings come up while I'm listening?
It's normal for some emotions to surface as you let go. You can pause or stop the session at any time and come back to it when you're ready. If it brings up distressing memories or feelings that are hard to manage on your own, please talk to a therapist or your GP rather than working through them alone.
Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of focused attention, and you stay in control throughout. Never listen while driving or doing anything that needs your full attention. If you have experienced trauma, or have a medical or mental health condition, and aren't sure whether hypnosis is right for you, check with your GP first.
Can therapy help with past trauma?
Yes. Approaches such as EMDR, counselling and hypnotherapy can help you process painful experiences so they have less hold over your present. Your therapist will work at a pace that feels safe for you.
