Nurturing Energy Therapy?

[brightlight21]

My counselor is recommending something called Healing Touch - Nurturing Energy Therapy to help with depression and anxiety. Has anyone done this?

I personally have never tried it but i had a friend that did and she said that this is the best shes felt in a long time, and it worked better than the meds she had been on in the past. i would give it a try, it cant hurt!

That's great to hear about your friend. I'm hoping this will be something similar.

I haven't but I'd love to get your feedback on it if you try it.

Sure - not sure if I will this upcoming week or not. Still feeling anxious about it - because it's sort of like a massage and I don't feel comfortable having someone touch me.

I have actually considered becoming a Healing Touch provider. This is a specialized training for people in the healing profession. I am a nurse and have heard that it can help in ways that other methods do not. Healing touch is meant to help anxiety not cause it. Speak freely about your feelings and concerns. I'm sure most people have the same concerns when starting therapy. If you trust your counselor then trust he/she wouldn't advise something unless it was helpful.

Thank you - she was saying that she can do it where she is not close to me and doesn't even have to touch me. I do trust her but just get worked up about new things.

It's mostly about "energy" like Reiki, it's hard to explain. There is kinetic energy that can provide warmth and healing without actual touch. Doing some research to prepare yourself might ease your anxiety about it.
