As a licensed therapist and coach I know a lot about what works and doesn’t work in a therapist office. The issue with talk and couples therapy is that it doesn't get to the heart of where our pain and emotions actually live in the brain and body.

You can’t talk yourself well, I often say, ‘we must feel it to heal it’ and this is well documented and supported by research.

Talk therapy primarily keeps us in our logic and head, instead of in our heart and body-where change and healing happens.

Couples therapy also has one of the lowest success rates as it most often uses outdated science and can stir up significant reactive emotions.

A lot of couples counselors or church counselors are unfortunately not trauma informed, nor do they have the appropriate training or know how to handle high emotions without getting triggered themselves. This leaves so many couples feeling more lost and hopeless than when they began therapy in the first place and still stuck.
