Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the therapeutic potential of the Bontok Chaw-es ritual healing practice, as well as its cross-cultural significance in the context of contemporary mental health, and to compare the healing practices utilized by Aboriginal people. The research investigates the shared therapeutic principles that underlie these many healing systems. These principles emphasize the importance of community involvement, emotional catharsis, and spiritual intervention. The research is grounded in qualitative data from experiences such as storytelling, interviews, and participant observation. According to the findings, culturally distinctive healing practices, such as Chaw-es, provide useful insights for contemporary counseling approaches, particularly in the areas of trauma recovery, cultural sensitivity, and community-based treatment. The implications for mental health education, counseling, and policymaking, to push for the incorporation of indigenous healing methods into mental health practices, are discussed..
