My guest Andrew Hahn is a psychologist who has long sought to help people live more contented and healthier lives by blending Eastern and alternative philosophies with his traditional training. He developed Life Centered Therapy based on research on violence and loss trauma, kinesiology, and energy psychology in addition to Buddhist and Eastern psychology. He shares how he works with people dealing with trauma, grief and the dying process. Learn more at his website:
This episode includes:
- What is Life Centered Therapy (LCT)
- Trauma is basically something that happens in life that can’t be handled
- Healing is to help others master what they haven’t been able to handle in the past
- Why medications alone are not sufficient for helping people heal trauma
- How LCT differs from traditional psychotherapy
- How physical symptoms can be clues to something deeper going on
- How muscle testing (kinesiology) is a communication method for the soul
- Why allowing ourselves to grieve is the way out of suffering
- We need to feel the pain itself rather than feeling pain about the pain
- The core experience of loss is inner emptiness
- We have to grow to certain stages of development before we can fully handle the traumas of life
- Why we shouldn’t deny our traumatic experiences but also shouldn’t identify with them – we simply have to be with our emotions about them
Life is trying to evolve through us by creating more love … and we’re trying to evolve by realizing who we really are, which is unity.
