We can look at a school photo or a brochure about a future hypnosis conference, and if we focus and become absorbed in these experiences, it can be as if we can have the experience of being back at school or at the conference. 

Revisiting the past can be useful when therein a sense of incompletion or dissatisfaction so we can play with the memory and alter it to something preferable. Imagining the future is going to be useful  when someone feels stuck and blocked about the possibility of a change so they can have an experience of a preferred outcome.

Isn’t this preferable to “age regression” or “age progression”?
