I am trained as a traditional counselor. I do not have faith in traditional therapy. I do not believe that intellectual knowledge, alone, can change much of anything. Most therapy is intellectual. The therapist,often, has not healed his own emotions. Many people are walking robots, as a result of the culture which favors achievement, not heart. My experience with therapy, as well as my own education, has made me search for alternatives, which I have found.
Right brain trauma theory tells the story of how we shut down and how we can become alive again; feeling our emotions and our passions. What is life if you are shut down to your emotions and passions? It is grey. Many people live a grey life. There are ways out. I will write about these in future entries.
