Counseling with holistic therapy!

Folks really identify with the idea of "cycling in and out the freeze and crisis modes". I know how it is - I lived that way almost all my life until I was pointed in the right direction. I explain all about it in my movies, "It's an Inside Job Part I & II" (catch them for free while I still have them up).

I can't tell you how much it has meant to have my life back...to finally feel like "myself". And as time goes on and I continue to grow, it just get's better.

That's why I feel so confident about offering my Brain Coaching Program (BCP). It outlines all the steps you need to take to restore your nervous system to health, to manage stress and your emotions in a balanced, natural way.

The BCP is totally unlike anything you've seen before. The principles discussed in the Program are based on cutting-edge neuroscience. Their effective application in hundreds of hours of clinical practice is leading more and more therapists to adopt them as the basis of their practice. Why? Because it's a faster, more effective way to change ourselves.

I'm opening the doors of my Brain Coaching Program for a limited time only. That's because some features of the Program are time-sensitive. So, if you think you might be interested - or even just a little curious, check it out here. It's literally a guraranteed No-Risk proposition. Click to continue

Is your therapy over the top? Jun 23, 2010

Does it take a whole week to pull yourself together after your therapy session?

It's possible you're going too far outside your zone of comfort. That seems to be the case for many folks who watched "It's an Inside Job".

Psychotherapy not going deep enough? May 28, 2010

You know, if you've been working on an emotional issue for what seems like eons and there's no end in sight, you migt consider what holistic massage therapy can do for you. I've been using body work to complement to my therapy for years, and I can't imagine doing without it.

Because of the way the brain develops and the way our emotions are wired in the first few years of life, it's sometimes hard to get "deep" enough in therapy. This is particularly the case with what are ordinarily called "talk therapies".

So I always recommend that clients consider body work. I've seen clients get some amazing results in their therapy work using an holistic approach such as this.

A while back I had the chance to interview Erika Moore who offers a mind body and holistic approach to massage therapy. Listen in as I interview Erika Moore on her unique approach.

By the way, Erika has offered to be one of our experts. So feel free to ask her a question. Scroll down to find the submission box. Click to continue

To discover your life’s purpose, at last?

Yes there is a way...

Hi! I'm Dr. Suzanne LaCombe,

We feel pretty inspired at MyShrink. We see counseling, as holistic therapy, a non-drug approach for both mind and body.

Sound far-fetched?

Well, decades of neuroscience research make it clear--the brain and nervous system can be changed through counseling, the kind of counseling that addresses both the mind and body as a single entity. This approach--classed as a form of holistic therapy--gives as much attention to the physical aspect of the client as the mental and the emotional.

Holistic therapy goes beyond what regular talk therapies alone could possibly deliver. Holistic therapy takes advantage of new neuroscience insights and rejects the notion that the mind and body are separate.

Indeed, by integrating biology with psychology, these insights are driving a paradigm shift in the clinical practice of counseling.

This shift in emphasis highlights the importance of attunement between the client and therapist. And, how can attunement best be achieved? We believe holistic therapy with its focus on the integration of mind body spirit, requires these aspects be embodied by the therapist.

Furthermore, the inclusion of the "body" in holistic therapy is essential for attunement to be fully attained. Holistic therapy has the theoretical and practical applications that cannot be surpassed in this respect.

We also feel that the "body" is a necessary partner in one's spiritual development. Through one's "body" enlightenment can be approached.

Bottom line - to achieve your personal goals, whether they're physical, emotional or spiritual, you must include the "body" in your counseling.

That's the basic lesson of holistic therapy, and the basic message of this counseling website.

So if you're looking for a long lasting solution to your therapeutic goals, holistic therapy may be the answer for you.
