Magnétiseur or Psychologist: How to Choose for Your Situation
See a psychologist when you need to understand and work through thoughts, patterns, trauma or a mental health condition with a trained health professional — and always in a crisis. See a magnétiseur when you want to release tension and emotional heaviness through the body and energy, feel calmer and lighter, or when talking alone hasn’t been enough. The two are not rivals: many of my clients see both, and I always encourage psychological support when it is needed.
This is one of the questions I am asked most often, and I want to answer it honestly — even if the answer is sometimes ‘not me, or not only me’.
What a psychologist does
A psychologist is a trained health professional who helps you understand your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, work through trauma and accompany mental health difficulties. They work mainly through conversation and evidence-based methods.
What a magnétiseur does
A magnétiseur works through the body and subtle energy. In my practice, following the Balinese Jnana Kanda lineage, a session purifies accumulated heaviness, restores alignment and transmits energy. It is a complementary wellbeing practice — I explain it in what is a magnétiseur.
How to choose
- Crisis, dark thoughts, trauma, a diagnosed condition → psychologist or doctor first (in France: 3114, available 24/7).
- You understand your story but still feel it in your body → a magnétiseur can help release it.
- Stress, overload, heaviness, sensitivity, feeling ‘not yourself’ → an energy session is a gentle first step.
- You are in therapy and want extra support → both together often work beautifully.
Why the body matters so much is explained in why talking therapy isn’t always enough.
“The mind understands. The body releases. Healing often needs both.”
