Introduction

When you’re going through stress, trauma, or emotional challenges, the big question is: who or what can help me heal? For many, the default is talk therapy. Others are drawn to energy healing. But what’s the difference between the two—and how do you know which path is right for you?

The truth is, both traditional therapy and energy healing can be powerful. They simply approach healing from different directions. Let’s break it down.

⸻

What Is Traditional Therapy?

Traditional therapy (psychotherapy, counseling, CBT, etc.) is rooted in psychology and evidence-based techniques. It often focuses on:

    •    Talking through challenges

    •    Identifying thought patterns

    •    Developing coping skills

    •    Exploring childhood roots of behavior

Benefits of Therapy:

    •    Structured approach

    •    Backed by decades of research

    •    Especially supportive for trauma, anxiety, depression

Limitations:

    •    Focuses mainly on the mind and emotions

    •    May not address spiritual or energetic root causes

    •    Can take months or years to see shifts

⸻

What Is Energy Healing?

Energy healing works with the subtle energy field that surrounds and flows through the body. At Energetic Shifts, I combine tools such as Reiki, the Emotion Code, tuning forks, numerology, and intuitive guidance to release blocked energy and reprogram limiting beliefs.

Benefits of Energy Healing:

    •    Works quickly—shifts can be felt in the first session

    •    Addresses the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual layers together

    •    Helps people feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned

Limitations:

    •    Less familiar to some, can be misunderstood

    •    Results vary depending on openness and intention

⸻

Where They Overlap

Despite differences, both therapy and energy healing share common ground:

    •    Creating a safe, non-judgmental space

    •    Helping you release stuck emotions

    •    Supporting greater clarity and self-awareness

    •    Encouraging personal growth

⸻

Choosing What’s Right for You

There’s no one-size-fits-all. For some, traditional therapy feels safe and familiar. For others, energy healing resonates more deeply. Many choose to combine both—using therapy for processing, and energy healing for releasing.

Ask yourself:

    •    Do I want a structured, clinical approach? (therapy)

    •    Am I craving a spiritual and energetic reset? (energy healing)

    •    Could I benefit from both?
