Freud did not start therapy. It can be traced back to traditional healing practices. Changing people’s thoughts, feelings, behaviors, emotions, or brain chemistry has been reduced to prescriptions in the age of science. According to research, cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices can be lost in translation. There are ways to integrate alternative approaches into your own clinical work. The secrets of ancient and alternative healers can make your psychotherapy practice more effective, creative, and fun, regardless of your perspective.
