I love this discussion.
I was in therapy for years, and I don't think I ever would have healed had I remained there. With the exception of EMDR work I did, talk therapy did nothing for my mind and body. The healing work really came from coaching tools I learned and now practice and teach clients (darlabrunolifecoaching.com). I don't have all the answers. But the biggest leap for me that has changed my life is becoming aware of the voice of the inner critic - and getting beyond the ego (mind) and also seeing the powerful impact that those stress response + stuffing emotions can have on my body.
