Is Holistic the Way to Go?
It depends on your point of view. I believe that traditional counseling and psychotherapy has a definite place as a component of the whole. It’s important to include other modalities to address effectively and efficiently issues. It’s important to take a humanistic holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit in approaches any and all issues. When we automatically exclude a method or methods then we are limiting ourselves to a narrow group of methods that may or may not do the job. Discerning the use of different methods at different times to address feelings, emotions, and unhealthy behaviors is important. I believe we should never eliminate any method that can enable us to facilitate our healing.
