I think that this term usually means the non Hubbardite past life theories and therapies. But if you're asking if I got any whole track recalls in Scn, yes. But it did not handle anything, per se. I did think that it gave me perspective about my life, though.
I think that what one did last lifetime or 80 lifetimes ago is equal in importance to what one did last year or last decade. It's nice to remember that just because the less gaps you have in your memory, the more you can retain the lessons life's inflicted on you.
Some people think that the past life recalls obtained in Dn and Scn are imaginary. Just as there are people who think that NDESs (near death experiences) are just lack of oxygen. There's no trying to persuade or convert anyone- it's pointless.

I am reading a book about past life regression as a means to understand the reasons for unexplained phobias, fears, etc. For instance someone who is deathly afraid of flying but has never been in an airplane, intense fear of snakes but has never been exposed to one.
This book's case histories are life changing. The person now understands where the fear came from is no longer affected or afraid. They get closure.
The past life recalls I had in Scn, never did that for me. I didn't think it was real. Sometimes I would f/n in session and later on realize it was from some movie I saw, lol! I started to think the e-meter doesn't work!

Before I joined scn, I had read a couple of non-scn books about past life regression, and really bought into it, so I had no problem with the concept. I had past life recall very early on in auditing and believed in it at the time. However, I can't say that any of it ever made any real difference, other than a passing emotional high.
I would probably be more impressed if there was anything in it that I could have proven objectively, or even without this, if it had made a clear and lasting change in my own personal set of difficulties. It never did, though.
I can also mention that my view of life was a lot more spiritual before scn than after.
You mention phobias; last year, I very suddenly developed a strong fear of escalators and stairs. There had been no accident, no obvious reason. Apart from being terribly impractical, it annoyed the hell out of me. But I really panicked. I do have a wog psychologist in my family who knows CBT, so I asked him for tips, and then I worked hard at it. Within a few days, I had beaten it. People choose their own paths, and to each their own, but I'm glad I wasn't stuck in trying to recall things in session, hoping to eventually find something, when there was such a quick, hands-on approach I could take.

To me when I was young I had past life regression and was so convinced of the theory of it, and I guess Hubbard's past life beliefs were an extension of it.
AS a mature person the answer is a big "No". Sure there was an emotional ego driven high, but that was short term. I never noticed any lasting case gain from past life regression or Hubbard's hohar. I think particular, when a person is aware that they are acting irrationally, cognitive based therapy can be helpful as long as they are determined to alter their mind set, and show responsibility.
I often think that PCs lose their sense of rationale and are often kind hearted and easily taken for a ride. That sense of youth, adventure and gullibility is the perfect potion to screw up ones head.
Fortunately, Hubbard only lived till his late 60s. I would imagine that there would be far more suckers desperate and enthused for the latest Rundown,
OT 9 + or the latest phase if he had lived to a ripe old age, like many other prominent leaders.

I think that past lives are real; at least I was able to recall mine and even picked up several Sanskrit words from it (I used to live in India approximately 2500 years ago). However, I would not put any value on the Hubbard0style past life recall technique – his procedure is a significant departure from the routine used by Buddhist monks to recall their past lives. Hubbard distorted the procedure, which had led to unrealistic past life recalls such as a rape by a demon of a female Sea Org member, my Scientology friend being Marilyn Monroe in her past life, etc.
