Everybody needs healing. There are some bizarre therapies.

- Vinod Kumar

Therapy

Can shop-ping be categorized as a therapy? Well, for some people it is almost meditative to do shopping in the mall. Window shopping can also be a therapy. But, I would call these things as pass times. But, some experts claim that boredom and loneliness can be cured when people walk through the mall, keep in touch with other people or even when they socialise. These findings may not be supported by scientific data, but then in matters of results, these are testimonies.

There are several therapies like smell therapy, walk therapy, flower therapy.In some stage cases,the food itself is considered as therapy. Counsellors may claim that every food that people consume can have therapeutic value. Moreover, even simply opening your mouth and talking out loud is considered therapy for some emotional imbalances. When you decide to go to professional huggers for the hug therapy,they will hug you for a specific duration for against a cost. Yes. All therapies are linked to a cost.

Among all these therapies, the switch therapy is a bizarre therapy. Couples who are considering divorce as the only way out of misery get another last chance through this therapy. They articulate their aspirational qualities in their spouses. The marriage counselors and psychology experts have a list of few married couples who has these aspirational qualities. Then,the troubled couples are paired with strangers for two weeks. The strangers have these traits of aspirational qualities. They live together as if husband and wife. Yes, total strangers but having matched the corresponding aspirational behaviour and qualities are coupled for two weeks. This is switch therapy.
