Experiential therapy uses tools, activities, movements, and animals to bring an experience into the therapy session. Experiential therapy can be weaved into traditional talk therapies and even blended with other models such as DBT and CBT. This type of therapy is often used to process emotional events, relationships and conflicts, and internal conflicts. Individuals who “feel stuck” with traditional talk therapy often benefit greatly from the introduction of experiential techniques. This therapy is often used in the treatment of behavioral disorders, grief and loss, addictions, trauma, and interpersonal relationship therapy. People can receive experiential therapy in traditional one on one sessions, in groups, or in day-long intensive sessions.
