The importance of maintaining a safe and secure therapeutic environment was a core value of my therapeutic studies. I remember when we were studying Roger’s three core conditions, and the lecturer mentioned that they were determining a fourth, Spirituality. I remember that day I had such a connection with this concept and was disappointed to read that there was no more research done on this topic. This disappointment remained with me until I found Shamanism, that missing link of therapy and spirituality was finally found.
What is Shamanic?
Shamanism is a spiritual practice working with Nature found in many ancient cultures around the world. These practices coexist over millennia with varying cultures, systems of government, and organized religious practices. We have an enriched Shamanic culture here in Ireland , that I have recently discovered, in fact , where I am from BohernaBreena, is rich in Shamanic practice, which I never knew before.
Shamanism working with and not against traditional Talk Therapy is a wonderful Gift that I can offer the people I work with. Having undergone a two-year Shamanic course, I have found it personally healing and professionally enlightening.
Shamanism Therapy
Through Talk Therapy people have discovered trauma that they have encountered in their lives, and through shamanism they release that negative energy block from their bodies, releasing such traumatic energy has been immensely beneficial for their mental well-being.
As many people become more accepting of Talk Therapy in Ireland, many are reaching out for additional mental health support methods such a Reiki. Shamanism too can fil that void, allowing the person to connect to their Spirituality once lost many years ago.
