Therapy with Miss Laura, LPC-A
Today’s guest is actually my own therapist, Laura Martinez, a licensed therapist, shamanic spiritual healer, author, speaker, and meditation guide. Miss Laura holds a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, is an LCP-A licensed therapist, and has co-authored several books including ‘Psychoneuroplasticity Protocols for Addictions’, ‘Animal and Nature Rituals’, and ‘Mind Body Solutions’.
Laura blends her scientific training and understanding of psycho-neurological problems with her genetic inheritance and understanding of shamanic terms. She is the great-granddaughter of a famous healer, Guadalupe Galvan Rivera (1906-1970), whose abundant healing skills were well-known in Mexiquito, Texas. The validity of many of these healing approaches can now be understood through the light of how negative psychological imagery can become locked into the neurological patterns that entangle and terrorize our lives.
In this episode, you’ll hear Miss Laura discuss how traditional therapy can be combined with shamanic healing to speed recovery and heal trauma, the continuing relevance of the ancient practice of shamanism, and how she keeps herself healthy for her patients with an abundance of self-care routines including exercise, meditation, hot yoga, journaling and more.
