Kim Barta's Shamanic Background & Education
Kim Barta has been doing psychological and shamanic healing work for 40 years now after completing his masters degree in a multidisciplinary program including social work, counseling, psychology, and sociology in one program.
Kim wrote a masters thesis on shamanism being an advanced form of psychology which, combined with his experience living with a Native American shaman for 6 months, inspired Kim to start his practice on a Native American reservation, where he has worked with the full spectrum of the human experience, including some of the deepest forms of human trauma.
Kim discusses how shamans use psychology in powerful ways for emotional, intellectual, social, and body healing to help their communities survive.
