A Rhythm for Wellbeing (eBook, PDF)

A Therapist Reflects

Beschreibung

This book reflects on a journey as a shamanic healer and a psychotherapist, and how the integration of psychotherapy and traditional healing methods emerged. It explores an initial training in cognitive behavioural psychotherapy, to gestalt therapy, to body therapy, to energy healing and shamanism, to develop a unified theory. It explores the process by means of a dialogue between a psychotherapist, a shamanic healer, an academic and an integrative therapist. This is placed in a dialogue within the therapist herself. Later chapters give examples of the unified theory in practice, including both individual and in group settings. Opening and closing chapters contextualise the work in the context of developments on the internet in the areas of wellbeing and therapeutic practices drawing on different cultures.

She has been a psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor for over twenty years and was a university lecturer at the University of Derby for over 15 years. As a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, she became aware of the limitations of Western psychotherapy and added EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming) to her therapeutic toolbox. Gestalt therapy was studied at Metanoia Institute, she visited the Esalen Institute in California, and she visited shamans in Peru, Siberia and Ecuador to develop her practice. She now practices an integration of psychotherapy and shamanism.
