Is Spirituality Missing from Therapy?

A Call Back to Our Ancestors with Tracy Gantlin-Monroy, MDiv, LPC, Brainspotting Trainer

What happens when therapy leaves spirit at the door?

In this episode, Tracy Gantlin-Monroy challenges the Western clinical model’s detachment from the sacred and calls for a return to spiritually rooted healing. With reverence and clarity, she explores how ancestral practices, ritual, and embodied spirituality are not only valid in the therapy room—but vital.

From Brainspotting as modern soul retrieval to breath as prayer, Tracy shares how therapists and clients alike can reconnect with what many lineages have always known: healing is sacred, not sterile.

This episode is a call back—not just to tradition, but to the sacred memory inside the body.
