Embracing Wholeness: The Power of Integration

Description

Life circumstances, trauma and other stressors can split both our clients and ourselves from our wholeness, temporarily leaving us feeling disconnected, anxious, depressed, lonely, unloved, exhausted, and so much more. Studies in neuroscience, psychology, and mind-body traditions now show us that integration is key to bring us back to our innate wholeness.

* As we experience realigning with our wholeness and discover ways to do this, we can use these tools to help psychotherapy clients navigate life challenges again and again.

* We can become stronger in the face of adversity and become able to connect to our inner wisdom, love, peace and joy regardless of our circumstances.

* We have access to more of ourselves during the hard times and this gives us more hope in a world that can be very chaotic and uncertain.

* We discover how to integrate the challenges we face and return to wholeness.
