Psychotherapy and Spirituality: Ruthie Smith and Dawson Church in Conversation

Ruthie Smith is a psychotherapist, musician, and meditation teacher. In her work, she explores the emerging field of energy psychotherapy, blending traditional talk therapy with practical energy-based techniques to help release trauma, fear, shame, and deeply ingrained emotional patterns. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, epigenetics, biology, quantum physics, and consciousness research, her work shows how healing the body-mind-energy system can foster emotional resilience, personal transformation, and expanded states of awareness in a rapidly changing world. She is the author of the acclaimed book Energy, Soul-Connecting and Awakening Consciousness: Psychotherapy in a New Paradigm.
