“I feel like my contribution to this ridiculous time we're living in is to give people back a sense of self-love,” says Debra Silverman, Celebrity Astrologer and Psychotherapist.  In today’s episode, host Christi Lukasiak is joined in conversation with Debra to discuss the role astrology plays in psychotherapy.  Over the last 45 years of studying astrology, Debra has recognized the connection between astrology and effective therapy. After realizing that other therapists don’t consider their clients’ astrological charts when drawing up a treatment plan, Debra understood why therapy was not successful for many people. Debra explains that by not integrating astrological charts into a treatment plan, a therapist may try to get their clients to change in ways that are fundamentally opposite of where the stars intended them to be. By using astrology as a tool in her practice, Debra is able to help clients find acceptance, discover their purpose, and befriend their own souls.   Tune into this week’s episode of Christi’s Couch for a conversation about the intricate world of astrology. Learn how understanding your birth chart can teach you about yourself, your purpose, and the world around you.  Quotes   “If you put your soul in the front seat, rather than letting your ego drive your ship, then there's a tandem practice going on. It's like a bicycle built for two, but you can't live without your ego period.” (39:10-39:26) “You have to look at your life to determine ‘what did your soul sign up for?’ And then you need to accept it and stop trying to change it. If therapists let their clients be who they are, and not instruct them to be like them, there would be a great ease.” (41:12-41:33) “I feel like my contribution to this ridiculous time we're living in is to give people back a sense of self-love. It's the medicine that we're all starving for.” (48:47-48:57) “We get programmed with some kind of hardwired for what normal is, which is a setting on the dryer. I have not met normal yet.” (1:04:46-51:04:55) Connect with Debra Silverman  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debrasilverman_astrology/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8h-BJfBv-DzhaUSg_IJzFg?view_as=subscriber Website: https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/debrasilvermanastrology?_rdc=1&_rdr  Freebies:  https://debrasilvermanastrology.com/freepodcastgift-jp  http://debrasilvermanastrology.com/freegift Get on the waitlist for the 5-Day Keys to Unlocking Your Dream Life Workshop HERE     FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM CHECK OUT MY TIK TOK WATCH MY LATEST YOUTUBE VIDEO If you've benefited from this episode be sure to tag me @christilukasiak on Instagram and share this episode with your community to spread the word!
