In Holistic Therapy, you are seen as a whole person, and your symptoms are clues of system distress, or dis-ease.
It is common for many in the U.S. to disconnect from these signs of our body’s upset. For instance, imagine someone inundated, and trying to manage work and home life. For stress headaches, they take Aspirin, which eats the gut, so they eat antacids like candy. By treating only symptoms, they ignore the stomach and head’s signals of dis-ease, causing more problems.
In holistic therapy, that same person may notice their new coping skills to manage the stress and negative symptoms, also increase mental clarity for insight into empowering life choices.
When you come into counseling with me, we work together. I am your guide and provide a compassionate and safe place for you to do your work. We will look at how your mind, body, and spirit systems interact, and consider what techniques will ease system distress.
As you grow and find success on this journey, with your new coping techniques you will experience increased self-empowerment and sense of wellbeing.
