What is holistic counseling?
Holistic counseling is a natural, integrative approach that attempts to get to the root of mind-body imbalances by understanding how all our parts work together and addressing them directly. Although talk is used (which helps the logical brain), holistic therapy makes a point to address the part of the brain where the bulk of trauma, old programming and unconscious behavior originates. In this way, it helps you to not just understand or manage your life challenges but actually transform your relationship with them.
To heal the parts of the brain where trauma and stress live, it is important to speak a "language" that these parts understand so that they can integrate and heal. This might include things like mindfulness, meditative movement, expressive arts, image, or other exercises that help reset the neurobiology of the brain like tapping, somatic EMDR and IFS "parts work." It also includes things like imagination, creativity, symbols/archetypes, and dreamwork that help access the unconscious and wise parts of the self.
