Send us Fan Mail A toddler does not like his older brother … until a remote clearing reveals the real source: a prenatal trauma imprint that turned a baby’s fear into defensiveness. That’s the kind of moment that makes you rethink what “healing” can look like when you combine trauma-informed counseling with energy psychology. Kara L. Baas, MS, LPC-MH is a professional mental health counselor. She received her Master's Degree from South Dakota State University and is currently practicing in Brandon, SD. Kara began exploring Energy Psychology in 2010, first learning EFT. Crystals started talking to her in 2015 and she began integrating crystals into her work with EFT, using stones associated with the Chakras holding emotions or blocked energy. Her tools and skills have evolved. She now uses several energy healing modalities into her not-so-traditional mental health practice. She uses Emotion Code, Body Code, Body Talk, and parts work and works within the many layers of the energy body. She is also a Holy Fire Reiki Master, Crystal Reiki Master and Angelic Reiki Master, certified in Crystalline Soul Healing, and The Bengston Method ® and also uses vibroaccoustic therapy and integrates quantum codes into her healing work. Kara L. Baas, MS, LPC-MH Director NewDay Counseling Services, LLC (605) 582-7418 www.newdaysd.com Email: newday@alliancecom.net We sit down with Cara Baas, a licensed professional counselor and self-described energy geek, to talk about Clinical EFT tapping, distance work, Reiki, crystal grids, and how she tests for what’s actually driving a symptom. Cara shares case stories that highlight fast shifts, including family dynamics changing within minutes, plus why gentle pacing matters when a client is close to a trauma “bubble.” We also explore why talk therapy alone sometimes isn’t enough, and how silent tapping can help reduce intensity before a person ever needs to say the hardest words out loud. From there we zoom out into integrative mental health: group healing experiments inspired by the Bangston Method, supportive tools like vibroacoustic therapy and frequency devices such as Healy, and a thoughtful discussion about symptoms that may have more than one cause. We’re careful about scope and safety: these approaches are adjunctive tools, not replacements for medical or psychiatric care, and we want you to make the best choice for you.
