Biofield therapy, which works directly with energy fields surrounding the human body, has a rich history in many cultures, particularly in East Asia, but is still working to gain acceptance in mainstream Western health practices. That said, many studies have found positive results against a placebo treatment, and 1.6 million Americans sought it out in the last year, according to an estimate from earlier this decade. Clients use biofield therapy, either with a practitioner or by learning to use it themselves, for a range of conditions, from chronic pain to anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues.
For clients that are receptive to biofield therapy, combining it with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can provide holistic treatment that addresses their needs on a physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual level. This combination can create a powerful treatment that taps into the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, rewiring it to produce lasting change.
