Beyond Talk Therapy: Energy, Trauma and Shamanic Healing with Howard Brockman
Episode Overview
- Caring for the energy body (chakras, meridians, auric field) can support emotional and physical well-being alongside traditional psychotherapy.
- Behavioural muscle testing helps reveal hidden inner conflicts and guides which energy strategies are most suitable for a person’s healing goal.
- Shamanic journeying and relationships with power animals or teachers can replenish inner strength and address deep soul-level issues such as soul loss.
- Healthy energetic boundaries involve staying centred and responsive rather than reactive, especially in challenging relationships and crowded environments.
- Regular self-care practices—whether nature, meditation, movement or retreat—are vital to prevent depletion and to restore balance in a demanding world.
“We really are interdimensional beings, which means we're open to all kinds of frequencies, possibilities beyond our everyday thinking mind.”
Curious about how others manage their healing journey beyond traditional talk therapy? This conversation between host Valeria Teles and psychotherapist and energy psychology practitioner Howard Brockman takes you into a different kind of inner work, where trauma, energy, and spirituality all meet. Howard talks about Dynamic Energetic Healing (DEH), his integrative model that combines Western psychotherapy, energy psychology, and core shamanic practices.
He explains energy psychology as working with "the human vibrational matrix" – chakras, meridians, and the auric field – and why caring for your energy body can be just as crucial as caring for your physical health. If you've ever felt "unwell" or energetically heavy without knowing why, you'll relate to the way clients describe poor sleep, physical discomfort, and emotional overwhelm.
You’ll hear Howard break down practical tools like behavioural muscle testing ("your body doesn't lie") to uncover hidden conflicts, such as when someone says "I want to heal completely" and their body quietly disagrees. From there, he uses precise energy strategies and shamanic techniques to address what he calls psychotoxic intrusions and layered "energetic imprints" from harsh environments and past trauma.
Shamanic journeying gets special attention too – drumming, power animals, and non-ordinary reality sound mystical, yet Howard keeps it grounded and personal, describing it as ongoing relationships with teachers that replenish and strengthen a person’s inner power. As he puts it, "we really are interdimensional beings" with access to frequencies and possibilities far beyond everyday thinking.
Valeria brings warmth, humour, and a strong focus on love, self-care, and gentleness towards the self, asking the questions many people wonder about: how to tell imagination from intuition, how to maintain healthy energetic boundaries, and what genuine self-care looks like in a busy, demanding world. If you're drawn to holistic recovery, curious about energy work, or simply tired of feeling stuck in old patterns, could this kind of integrative healing be the next step on your path?
