Commodification of the Healing Journey | The Battle between Science and the Intuitive Art of Healing

Patricia Worby, PhD

We are in a  battle currently where conventional science attempts to explain healing - via neuroscience particularly in a bit to legitimise what, for many, are 'unscientific' or 'pseudoscience' of holistic methods such as psychosensory therapy. The difficulty is in not losing the spontaneity and art of healing which is in many ways a completely opposite approach. Here I detail what I've learned through my decades of research and practice and my foot in both camps.

00:00 Intro and the battle between scientific and holistic methods which mirrors my own history
02:34 The marketisation of therapy via symptom based alleviation which ensures other methods are dismissed for lack of scientific explanation.
05:50 How EFT works - the vagus nerve electro-stimulation and how EMDR and havening works. All are bottom up approaches unlike talk therapy
07:04 the importance of unconscious beliefs stored as sensory impressions from childhood.
08:42 healing as a process which is non-linear - allows for spontaneity magic and intuition - what I call 'the shift'.
10:45 the rapid advances in neuroscience has limitations in explaining everything, particularly the tipping point (maybe at the cellular level in the cell danger response)
12:26 why do people get stuck? unconscious processes going on 'under the hood', requires willingness to engage with uncertainty
14:09 An interaction with the client and therapist - an energetic phenomenon. An individuality to the process, an understanding of the uncertainty of the process.
16:40 Holistic Inventions build on the backs of previous ones. TFT, EFT, EMDR and self-havening.
21:02 The trouble with the 'fix it' mentality, need to address painful/difficult experiences before you rewire them - for instance phobias which de-link the experience and the emotional response.
24:18 Can we expand our willingness to share knowledge and explore intuitive understanding of healing.
