Integrative Healing

“Moving forward we must rethink – or rather – remember that for our whole being, healing happens on many levels and so requires multiple opportunities for intervention. It may seem complex, but it is indeed possible to look at therapy in an integrated way. We ought to break-down the barriers that prevent us from learning and receiving the best from different health and healing systems, which are often perceived from a western or traditional view and practice. Both systems offer paths for our progression if only we look at them holistically.

It remains true that we go further together than we do alone. We may use this premise to advocate for the integration of different healing practices and therapies. By opening ourselves up to processes that work for various parts of our being – the emotional, psychological, and physical – we can find healing that is holistic, leaving no part of our Self behind on the journey.

Further, by allowing these therapies and those who facilitate them (therapists) to take hold we accept that we can – as lead is turned to gold – be transformed by alchemy. We can become the best versions of ourselves and can live a golden life understanding that both worry and wonder are part of the journey to a state of ultimate well-being.”
