Other Lives, Other Selves: A Jungian Psychotherapist Discovers Past Lives

"Thoughtful, carefully written and well documented; Woolger takes us on a journey most people aren't ready for. It is not for the faint of heart to consider the possibilites of life before life, life between lives, and life after death. The patterns he points out that reveal themselves in therapeutic sessions make sense in ways that open your eyes, your heart, and your mind. It's the only way to fly.

Our wounds are not rooted in this life - and healing is far more profound when considered from such a multi-faceted perspective. It's a fascinating read. I will never see life or death the same way again - and I'm glad."

"I found this book to be offensive. The writer had a client who felt that she was a buccaneer in a past life and docked at port performing abortions for extra money. The author then told the client to apologize to the "children she killed" I mean really, what about the women "he" saved.

He then mentioned a man who alledgedly was having severe psychological issues due to the fact that his mother desparately wanted to abort him but couldn't due to living on a farm decades before and blamed the woman's wishing to abort to have caused the man's problems. Although I felt bad for the man, I really felt sorry for the woman who did not have a choice. The author did seem to subscribe to the "pro-life" mind-set which was a shock for someone who dumped Christianity, and for that I was glad I only got the book from the library and did not spend money on it"

"This book brings case studies to light that deal with topic of only our bodies cease to exist, but our true selves continue on forever. The way it was presented left it up to the reader to decide their beliefs."

"A life-changing (and life-saving) book. I read it and tried it - and it worked. I've been using it ever since, as have friends. It should be part of every educational syllabus. "

"I am a hypnotherapist and have read many books on the subject of past life therapy and I think this is the best yet. Woolger presents a more realistic account of past life therapy than some of the other quick fix books that are out there. Unlike others I've read, he doesn't claim that simply recalling a past life cures you of your ills. Instead, he conveys his experience as a therapist, that regression therapy is often a long and challenging process, though one with rich rewards. One thing I especially like about his techniques is his emphasis on incorperating the body into the regression, as that is where much of the trauma is held. While some therapists recommend taking an "observer" position while reliving a trauma, he encourages his clients to reexperience it as much as possible and considers emotional and physical catharsis as keys to healing. It is an enlightening and inspiring book."
