Crystals in Psychotheraputic Therapy by Danny Hickling BSc Hons Couns, MBACP
Whatever your beliefs are on the science of if crystals work in healing without psychoanalytic intervention. It seems a place can be found for crystals within the therapy room as a bridge, firstly they help link us to nature (there is a growing weight of opinion that nature deprivation is cause for increased stress anxiety and depression in modern society) Crystals can be used as a anchor, a mediator and a transitional object in psychotherapy. When held they can sooth and calm a client, further to this they can be used to take the pressure of the client, giving them the opportunity to momentarily dissociate and look at emotions and situations more clearly through this degree of detachment . Crystals can also ground a client, be linked to positive thought processes and memories and create a contact between therapist and client within therapy sessions, thus encouraging dialogue and deepening the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client through both in depth understanding and empathy. I am a registered and qualified Counsellor in Integrative Counselling. I usually use Crystals occasionally in therapy intuitively when I feel it will benefit the client however if you feel this is a method you would like to work in I would be happy to use this method with you to explore your situation or.self.
