It was useless to talk to my therapist when I could heal myself from deep within.
Can therapy mix with spiritual healing? Spirituality changes your perspective on your problems and where they fit in the world, so therapy might be useless when you finally wake up.
After my husband abandoned me six months ago, I had an awakening. However, I was also worried about my mental health and my ability to bounce back from trauma. I had been in a place where feeling worthless was the norm, plus I was basically thrown in the trash by the man I loved. So, I signed up for therapy.
I’ve done therapy off and on for years, and enjoyed it. Usually, the reason I stop because I have to move to a new city. But this time, although my therapist was perfectly nice, I stopped because it didn’t sync well with my spiritual awakening. Why would I need therapy when I am suddenly able to take shamanic-style journeys into myself and speak to the spirits beyond our surface egos? I found that I could heal myself through spiritual healing.
You can, too.
They’ll make you think trauma is normal, but we need to heal deeply.
Therapists need trauma. They literally make money from trauma. If you are a therapist and you’re reading this, I feel your pain in reading this (I truly do — I am an empath) but it is true. I am not going to back down on this claim. If we all knew how to heal ourselves, therapists would be out of the job. And I truly hope that we all learn how to heal ourselves — because I know it’s possible.
Our attachment to trauma is key for some industries.
There are people and industries whose whole livelihoods depend on us staying just under the surface of full self-realization. (I have written on this topic before.) If we totally healed, we wouldn’t come back and pay them.
God forbid we learn the truth: that we can heal ourselves at any time we choose. The ability to completely transform our lives is within us from birth.
By relying on a mental health professional, we give away our power to heal to someone else. We start to believe that we need this person to get better. We become dependent on another person for our happiness.
Sure, there are probably therapists in the world who know how to guide people to heal and become their own heroes. If you know of any, please let me know. Therapists that I’ve known were good-hearted and wonderful people who entered the profession with correct intentions. But when you become in charge of your own destiny and healing, you realize you don’t need any other person, and you can start to save your money.
I had to tell my latest therapist that I am having a spiritual awakening and it was nice knowing her. She tried to convince me to keep seeing her for closure or whatever. I get it. It’s her job to get clients.
They’ll tell you to look away from the things you need to look at.
My latest therapist dealt with my trauma by trying to re-direct my attention to more peaceful things. I guess she thought I was getting worked up trying to analyze the past for no defined purpose. Or maybe I seemed like I was frantically trying to find answers I will never have. I kept asking “why did he do these things to me?” and she would refuse to entertain that question, guiding me to other conversation.
Well, I disagree with that approach.
Since traveling to the spiritual side to look at trauma in the non-physical form, I see that it was the correct approach to look deeply at what is going on. And as for answers that I “will never have”? Well, I have them now. I allowed my third eye to open to the truth and dove into a journey where my soul explored relationships and divine reasons for everything that has happened to the character I am playing in this life. I see that there is a reason for everything.
When I find those reasons, I heal. My heart unties its knots.
Healing can happen within you if you stop trying to analyze the surface of your experiences and emotions. Meditate, go into a trance, listen to spirit guides, and just feel your way to the answer — and you will have it. Spiritual healing will come when you truly open yourself to the universe. I wrote in a separate post about the results of my inner dive to the truth about my relationship.
After this experience, I have begun to heal.
They’ll assume you’re crazy.
I told my therapist about my spiritual awakening because I could sense that she was open to hearing it. She was a gem. She received that news with an open heart. But I sensed she wouldn’t understand if I talked about spirit guides and destinies. She wasn’t ready for the details.
My previous therapists would probably think my talk of spirituality is just a distraction from facing reality. I can understand that myself because I judged people the same way before my awakening. It’s ironic since now it’s clear to me that the talk of our surface-level existence seems like a distraction from reality. For instance, my husband leaving me is a milestone in my life that I was ready for spiritual growth from the divine. It’s not just a traumatic bump in my life that I will need to recover from for the rest of my life.
It’s important to guard yourself against who you tell about your awakening. People will label you “crazy” and it will leave you feeling bad. Hopefully, your therapist would never truly judge you, but there are plenty of humans in this world whose energy is low and dark, and they will want to put out your light. It is sometimes a struggle to know who to speak to about spiritual awakening. Kimberly Fosu speaks about this topic in-depth in this article, which I loved.
Final Thoughts on Useless Therapy and Spiritual Healing
Therapists are not bad people. They are human, like all of us. But the practice of therapy might be useless for you when you find a way to heal yourself. Spiritual healing is the way.
Spiritual awakenings are a sudden jolt into a new reality that others, including your therapist, may not understand. You will find a new way to solve problems and move through your reality toward healing. Therapy may not be useful anymore if the person helping you relies on the fact that you are attached to trauma.
