Existential and Humanistic Psychology

Ever wondered how some therapies can change lives by focusing on the here and now? In this episode of 'Let's Talk: Mind, Body, Spirit', Scott Webb sits down with two experts from Sierra Tucson, Christopher Bradshaw and James Davis, to discuss existential humanistic psychotherapy and somatic experiencing. Christopher, a specialty therapist, breaks down how existential humanistic therapy zeroes in on the client's current experiences and the importance of living in the moment.

He emphasizes the power of the therapeutic relationship and how it tackles life's big questions. On the other hand, James, a somatic experiencing therapist, explains how his approach helps clients regulate their nervous systems, restoring a sense of safety and joy in life. Both therapists highlight the experiential nature of their work, stressing the significance of being present and embracing emotions and bodily sensations.

They share real-life outcomes, such as helping clients set healthy boundaries, find new meaning in life, and develop a sense of awe. This conversation offers a rich understanding of these impactful therapies and their benefits, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in mental wellness.
