Ep. 5 - Talk therapy didn't fix the problem! - (Imprints and Energetic Signature)

In therapy we are not unpacking ideas alone. Many people understand their problems on an intellectual level, but the problem isn't fixed, or we feel like the talk therapy we're doing doesn't get to the heart of the problem. 

We often acknowledge how we pick up our parents quirks like speech or movement patterns, but what we don't tend to think about, is how we pass on or develop an entire complex bundle of emotions and energy around particular topics.

In this podcast I use the concept of 'imprinting' and 'energetic signature' to show how our issues are multifaceted, and as such, may require a multifaceted solution. This is why somatic therapies or psychotherapy where we are enacting and engaging with the feelings, rather than talking about them, can get closer to (and heal) the core of the issue.
