Ep. 45 Gabi Krueger: Where Does It Hurt

The phrase ‘mind, body, spirit’ is very much of the moment, and it is well-recognised that looking after ourselves physically can have a beneficial impact on our mental health, and vice versa. Stress, for example, can manifest itself as physical ailments. The mind, the body and the spirit are not separate things but are interwoven. Conventional approaches to health and wellbeing, however, tend to treat them separately. If you have a mental health issue, you go to a specialist in mental health. If you have physical problems, you go to a doctor who specialises in physical health. But what if your physical problems are a manifestation of a mental or emotional problem – who do you go to then? In eastern medicine, the connection between the body and the mind has long been recognised. The chakras are energy centres in our bodies that are connected to our spirit. In reflexology one part of the body is manipulated to treat another. So can we heal physical problems by treating our emotional and spiritual selves? And what about the reverse of this? Can we heal emotional, mental and spiritual problems by treating our physical selves? In this episode of the podcast I spoke with Gabi Krueger, a holistic therapist who does just that. She is a co-founder of The Bridge Retreat, and helps people resolve physical blockages that are connected to emotional trauma.
