How Energy Healing and Talk Therapy Work in Conjunction with Each Other

Writer's picture: ashley steenashley steen


In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the benefits of combining different therapeutic modalities to support mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Two such approaches—energy healing and talk therapy—are often viewed as distinct, but when used together, they can complement and enhance each other, offering a holistic approach to healing and personal growth.


What is Energy Healing?


Energy healing is based on the belief that the body has an energy field, often referred to as the “aura,” which can become imbalanced or blocked due to stress, trauma, or negative emotions. Practitioners of energy healing—such as Reiki, acupuncture, and chakra balancing—work to clear blockages, restore energy flow, and promote physical and emotional healing. While the scientific community is still exploring how energy work might affect the body, many individuals report feeling more grounded, relaxed, and rejuvenated after an energy healing session.


What is Talk Therapy?


Talk therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a well-established psychological treatment where individuals work with a licensed therapist to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Common modalities of talk therapy include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The goal of talk therapy is to help individuals identify and address the root causes of emotional distress, improve coping skills, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behavior.


The Synergy Between Energy Healing and Talk Therapy


When combined, energy healing and talk therapy can work in powerful ways to promote healing on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and mental. 


Talk therapy often helps individuals understand the cognitive and emotional patterns contributing to their distress. However, these patterns may be deeply rooted in the subconscious or energetic body, which is not always accessible through words alone. Energy healing can help uncover and address these hidden blockages in the energy field, facilitating deeper emotional release and allowing for more profound healing. By addressing both the conscious and subconscious levels, the healing process becomes more comprehensive.


Sometimes, during talk therapy, individuals may encounter emotions or memories that are difficult to process or articulate. Energy healing can assist in releasing these trapped emotions from the body’s energy field, which can make it easier for the person to confront and express difficult feelings in therapy. As energy blockages are cleared, emotions that have been stored in the body can surface and be processed more effectively during therapy sessions.


Talk therapy can sometimes bring up stress, anxiety, or emotional discomfort, especially if the individual is processing painful memories or unresolved trauma. Energy healing therapies like Reiki or acupuncture can help soothe the nervous system, reduce tension, and create a sense of calm. This relaxation can support the individual’s ability to engage more fully in talk therapy, making it easier to confront difficult issues without becoming overwhelmed.


Both energy healing and talk therapy provide tools for long-term personal growth. Talk therapy helps individuals learn healthier coping strategies and cognitive frameworks for handling life’s challenges, while energy healing provides a way to maintain energetic balance and prevent emotional burnout. Together, these practices promote lasting emotional resilience, balance, and wellness.



Energy healing and talk therapy are not mutually exclusive; in fact, they can complement each other in powerful ways. By addressing the mind, body, and energy field, these therapies provide a more holistic approach to healing that nurtures the individual on multiple levels. Whether it’s releasing stuck emotions, uncovering subconscious patterns, or promoting relaxation, the combination of energy healing and talk therapy can offer a pathway to deeper healing, emotional freedom, and lasting well-being.
