Spiritist Therapies have been developed over more than 100 years in Brazil. They combine shamanic practices (like depossession and energy healing) with the best of modern psychological therapies (like Family Systems), and include ecumenical prayer and take a cautious use of medication. Psychiatrists work alongside medical intuitives and healers in a team approach. They practice an "integrative" paradigm of diagnosis and treatment with a refined notion of consciousness.
Practice of methodology used in Spiritist treatments will be explained and recent research validating this methodology will be shared. Teachings are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
“Thank you for this offering. It has really helped me to establish a greater sense of clarity with the work that I have been doing, how I can learn more and how I can reach more people effectively with a blend of traditional psychological practices and the practice of Spiritism.”
Annette Nadeau, LMT, PhD, Spiritual Emergence Coach
