When Therapy Falls Short: Chase Sayer's Journey to True Healing
Therapy has helped a lot of people in the world. But it can’t help everyone. And in fact, it may not be the best approach to solve mental health problems.
Ever wondered if traditional therapy isn't the answer for everyone? In this eye-opening episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner sits down with therapist Chase Sayer, LCSW, who shares his own personal struggles and why he believes modern therapy can sometimes miss the mark. After an earth-shattering divorce left him on the brink of despair, Chase tried every therapy trick in the book—none of it worked. It wasn’t until he discovered the Freedom Specialist that he found real relief.
Within just two days at a retreat, 98% of his trauma disappeared. Intrigued? You should be. Chase dives into why mental health in America continues to decline despite therapy becoming more mainstream and less stigmatized. He discusses how even the most well-intentioned therapists can sometimes fall short in helping their clients. This episode doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; it offers a fresh perspective on healing that goes beyond traditional methods.
Chase also talks about the limitations of diagnostic labels and the importance of finding the right therapist who truly understands your unique needs. One alternative approach he highlights is somatic therapy, which focuses on the body as a pathway to emotional healing. He recounts a powerful story of using this method to help a client overcome deep-seated issues. If you're grappling with mental health challenges and feel like conventional therapy isn't cutting it, this episode is a must-listen.
