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.
