Which therapy is based on the healing force of the therapist as a recovery agent?

Therapeutic Touch is a holistic approach that involves the practitioner using their hands to manipulate the energy field surrounding a person. This therapy is rooted in the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself and that the therapist can facilitate this healing process through their own energy or intent. Practitioners of Therapeutic Touch aim to restore balance and promote healing by sensing and responding to the client’s energy field.

The effectiveness of this practice is attributed to the therapist's ability to act as a conduit for healing energy, allowing for the alleviation of physical or emotional ailments. This central idea of the therapist as a recovery agent through the transfer or manipulation of energy underscores the philosophy that healing can be influenced by the interaction between the therapist and the patient.

In contrast, other therapies such as Naturopathic Medicine focus on natural remedies and lifestyle changes, while EMF (Electromagnetic Field) therapy involves the use of electromagnetic fields for healing purposes. Reiki also relies on the transfer of energy but has distinct practices and principles that set it apart from Therapeutic Touch.
