Why do humans seek spirituality to heal when we have psychologists who can help us? Easy, because psychology is a treatment and spirituality is an experience.
When we hit rock bottom, feel stuck, get out of a bad relationship, lose our job, etc. we don't seek advice or general medicine; we desire to find something deeper; we seek freedom, happiness, peace, and healing. That is when our awakening journey began for many of us.
And you are probably wondering why mixing psychology and spirituality is a good idea? It is because they have much more in common than you think.
To help us understand this subject, Dr. Daniel Atkins will join us in this episode. He is an intuitive psychologist who serves as a guide to releasing the lineages and layers of trauma people carry to transform their lives.
