what is holistic therapy

Holistic therapy is a type of therapy that addresses the "whole" person, integrating spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. It is a form of therapy that treats the mind, body, and spirit as one unit, working in harmony and seeking integration and balance. Holistic therapy can be helpful for a broad range of mental health concerns, including physiological symptoms that may have a psychological root, such as muscle tension or digestive troubles. Holistic therapy can include a variety of techniques such as meditation, breathwork, visualization, journaling, and mindful eating. Holistic therapists focus on a persons physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Holistic therapy is often used as a supplement to traditional addiction treatment, as it works to help treat the person on the whole, rather than just one aspect of their health. Holistic therapy can help a person gain a greater understanding of themselves and increase self-esteem and self-confidence. Holistic psychotherapy uses traditional methods of psychotherapy along with nontraditional approaches to accomplish the deepest level of healing possible.
