Where Psychology Meets Spirituality: The Bridge Between Worlds
I love learning and teaching about the intersection of psychology and spirituality. As a psychotherapist and a client, I have learned how healing happens on so many levels. If you are a therapist, healer, etc., have you ever sat with a client—or maybe with yourself—and realized the healing wasn’t just emotional, but energetic? That what needed tending to wasn’t just the story, but the soul underneath it? That’s the space I love exploring and why I work somatically, because the body is an easy entrance to that realm.
That’s the bridge between psychology and spirituality.
As therapists, we are trained to track patterns, observe micro and macro facial expressions, name trauma, and offer tools rooted in evidence. But so often, healing shows up in dreams, synchronicities, gut feelings, and the quiet voice of the inner knowing. It’s the tears that come out of nowhere. The chill sensations when truth is spoken. The client who says, “I don’t know why, but I feel lighter.”
Spirituality doesn’t compete with psychology—it completes it. It invites us to remember that we’re not just minds or behaviors, but whole beings with intuition, energy, and a longing for meaning. Real transformation often happens where science meets spirit, where the clinical meets the mystical.
And that’s where the magic lives.
Many blessings,
