A wholistic approach facilitates finding right relationship to self, to other and to one's life situation. Problems that don't go away indicate that we are trapped in some false belief or dysfunctional defensive pattern. Insight and therapeutic dialogue alone are not usually enough to bring about change. Emotions, cellular memory, psychic survival instinct, and spiritual purpose need to be included in the work. This approach includes: Inner-Child, Griefwork, Trauma, EMDR, Reichian Breathwork, Middendorf Breath Therapy, Consciousness Training, Spiritual Purpose, Deep Emotional Release, Communication Skills, Stress Management.
