For many years, my work as a psychologist has been dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges—whether in relationships, mental health, self-worth, or personal growth. I have seen the incredible power of talk therapy to help people process emotions, reframe limiting thoughts, and develop coping mechanisms. But over time, I also began to notice something was missing.
Even with deep insight and emotional awareness, some clients would still feel stuck. They understood their patterns logically, yet the shift they sought—whether emotional, mental, or even physical—didn’t always happen as expected. Something within them held on, beyond their conscious awareness.
My personal healing journey led me to energy healing, and what I discovered changed everything.
The Missing Piece: Addressing the Subconscious & Energy Body
Traditional therapy primarily works with the conscious mind, the part of us that thinks, analyzes, and makes decisions. However, up to 95% of our daily actions and behaviors are controlled by the subconscious mind—the vast, unseen realm where deeply ingrained beliefs, emotions, and trauma reside.
While talk therapy helps clients develop self-awareness, it often doesn’t access or shift deep-seated energetic and emotional imprints. This is where energy healing comes in. Modalities like Reiki, Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code allow us to bypass the conscious mind and work directly with the body's energy field and subconscious programming.
How Energy Healing and Talk Therapy Work Together
By integrating energy healing into my practice, I found that clients:
✔ Released emotional blocks more easily—without having to relive trauma.
✔ Experienced deep emotional relief in ways they couldn’t access through talk alone.
✔ Saw rapid shifts in behavior and mindset, without needing months of repetitive affirmations.
✔ Began healing not just mentally, but physically—as stored emotional energy was released from the body.
A Personal Transformation: My Own Breakthrough
Like many healers, my journey into energy work began with my own struggles. In my early 40s, I was experiencing serious health issues and emotional exhaustion. Despite all my knowledge of psychology, I felt drained and unable to restore balance in my life.
One conversation with my husband changed everything. He introduced me to a Reiki healer, and after my first session, I felt something I hadn’t in a long time: calmness, clarity, and relief.
That night, I slept for six straight hours—something that had been impossible for me before. That single moment opened my eyes to the power of energy healing. I began to explore it further, eventually integrating it into my work with clients.
Energy Healing and the Mind-Body Connection
What I now understand—and what science is finally catching up to—is that our emotions, thoughts, and energy are not separate. They interact constantly, influencing our nervous system, immune function, and even our ability to heal from trauma.
Here’s how I explain it to my clients:
- Emotion is energy in motion—when we suppress emotions, they don’t disappear. They get stored in the body, causing tension, chronic pain, and even illness.
- The subconscious mind operates like a hard drive, storing every experience, belief, and emotional reaction we've ever had. Energy healing helps us rewrite the script at this deep level.
- Heart-Brain Coherence—Studies now show that our heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. When we release emotional blocks (like trapped emotions around the heart), we create a state of balance and flow, improving mental and physical well-being.
One Client’s Story: From Fear to Freedom
One of my clients—a man who was highly skeptical of energy healing—came to me with chronic pain in his right shoulder. For three years, he had tried everything: medication, physical therapy, even surgery. Nothing worked.
During our third session together, I used Emotion Code to identify a trapped emotion linked to a painful experience from his past. The moment we acknowledged and released it, his pain dropped from a level 9 to a 2—instantly.
He was in shock. “I don’t know what just happened,” he said, “but I feel lighter.”
That was the moment he became a believer.
Why This Matters for Therapists & Healers
If you are a therapist, coach, or healer, I cannot emphasize enough how life-changing it is to bring energy work into your practice. It fills the gap that talk therapy sometimes leaves behind.
It allows us to go beyond intellectual awareness and into deep transformation.
For those who have spent years in therapy but still feel stuck…
For those who know why they feel a certain way but can’t seem to change it…
For those who are ready to heal at the root level…
Energy healing is the missing link.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Healing is Here
As science continues to validate what ancient traditions have known for centuries, I truly believe that the integration of talk therapy and energy healing is the future.
Our healing isn’t just in the mind. It’s in the body, the heart, and the energy that flows through us.
By embracing both logic and intuition, science and soul, we can create a holistic approach to healing that truly transforms lives.
If you’re curious about energy healing, I invite you to explore it. Your healing, your transformation, and your freedom are waiting.
