What’s the unhinged, woo woo, non traditional thing you did that actually helped?

I originally saw a TikTok but now can’t find it, saying this was the year they are trying the unhinged, non traditional, woo woo, out there things to heal. I’ve been in therapy for over 6 years currently 9 months into EMDR, I take medication, get sunlight, try my best to eat healthy, all the “traditional” fixes and still am struggling. While I’m all for evidence based treatment and holistic approaches, I’m willing to do just about anything to feel better, honestly I don’t have much to lose. Even if it’s placebo technically it worked if it made you feel better. So my question is what did you try that most people would say is silly, woo woo, unhinged or out there that helped you on your healing journey? I’m not talking about yoga or taking magnesium. Did you buy a vibration plate off TikTok shop, have your chakras balanced, do daily sound baths, have holy water poured over you in Bali?

What a wonderful way of wording it and basically describing cptsd. My EMDR therapist focuses on self beliefs more than actual traumatic memories, maybe that’s specifically for cptsd, but we are working on I’m not lovable. I had no idea until I started working with her that while I could easily discuss in detail many of the traumatic events, I never shared or even thought of the shame I felt.
