True Holistic Healing
Often we see a lot of emphasis on the importance of physical and mental health, and now, more and more, we are seeing an emphasis on our spiritual health in the wellness world as well. The word holistic has become common language in the health and wellness community, but what does it truly mean?
Webster’s dictionary defines holistic as “relating to, or concerned with, wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.” In this definition, holistic healing tends to each part of a person, not just the part of them that is hurt, ill, or wounded, but the entirety of the person.
This is something The Path Wellness Center was founded in, the idea that true healing can only occur when we tend to all parts of the person who comes to us seeking support. The work we do here extends far beyond traditional psychotherapy and the medical model that we have all been programmed to accept and are so used to receiving help and healing through.
We also have realized that even in our current wellness communities, where holistic support is stated as the goal, there are still significant parts of our lives being overlooked. Our current realm of holistic wellness puts a strong emphasis on individual growth and healing, but at times neglects the relationships and connections in our lives. Without integrating those into our treatment, we are omitting another huge piece of our healing.
The relationships and connections we have in our lives impact us on a far greater level than we realize and when we neglect to extend our healing to them, we can become stuck, lost, regress in our growth, or in some cases are unable to evolve at all.
Couples therapy still carries a large stigma and often people only seek it out when their relationship is on the brink of extinction. Family therapy is rarely used when children have ventured into their own adulthood, and yet, it is then and only then that these adult children can finally express and understand the impact their relationships with their families have had and are still having on them. There is so much room for healing within these relationships and yet, they are seldom repaired or healed.
The truth is, relational work can be done on an individual level as well. When you apply some of the very same healing modalities of emotional and spiritual health to relationships, you create freedom and liberation from many of the unhealthy relational dynamics that keep us from progressing in our healing.
What we have found is that when we tend to our mind, body, and spirit and leave out our relationships, our healing can only go so far. Our healing will only extend as far as what we pour our energy into and then it will lay in wait until we open ourselves up to evaluate our relational health as well.
We are relational beings, what we realize now is that self preservation isn’t only about taking care of ourselves, it’s about taking care of the connections we have with others, the heart to heart threads that keep us feeling safe in this chaotic world.
To be fully whole and for the work you do to be truly holistic, you must tend to the mind, body, soul, AND your relationships; this is true holistic healing.
If you’re ready to show up for this, for yourself and for your life fully, reach out, this is the work we do here at The Path Wellness Center.
