Your spiritual nature is welcome here.
“I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening—a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.”
-Dr. Peter Levine
What is Holistic Support in Therapy?
Complementary practices are always optional and are used only when aligned with your goals and clinically appropriate within psychotherapy. They are not a replacement for mental health treatment, medical care, or emergency services.
These are some examples of holistic additions that can be integrated when desired and in support of your goals:
- Your own spiritual nature, practices & beliefs that are resourceful to you are welcome in therapy
- Somatic mindfulness
- Somatic Experiencing® supports unbracing, unwinding, finding rhythm
- Womb wisdom traditions to connect with creative & intuitive energies
- Menstrual or Moon Cycle Awareness practices to support rhythm/regulation, intuition & stability
- Womb Reiki - connect with intuition & your creative power; supports nervous system regulation and stress reduction; combine with trauma healing modalities as needed; often a resource
- Chakra, energy & vagus nerve connection -for somatic & soul alignment
- Nature or Shamanism elements - connecting with nature; honoring your connection to the natural world
- Symbolic practices, rituals, in support of goals and the change you wish to see in your life - could be lighting a candle daily to represent your intention
- Visualization practices
- Meditations or Prayer
- Mindful Self Compassion
My approach to therapy is grounded in established clinical theories and supported by practices that honor the body, mind, and spirit as one system of healing.
