Integrative psychotherapy (body-mind-spirit)
Integrative psychotherapy views the person as a complete human system - body, mind, and spirit — and therefore takes a systemic approach to all aspects of being, recognizing how deeply they are interconnected and mutually influential.
These processes are rooted in dynamic dialogue, as found in traditional psychological therapies, while also incorporating therapeutic insights into the expressions and effects of the body (e.g., physical contraction due to emotional stress) and the spirit (e.g., beliefs, values, and inner worldview).
One of the foundational elements of this work is the creation of an empathetic, inclusive, and attuned therapeutic space — one that supports deep internal processes.
This therapeutic work may include
(depending on the needs and nature of the person):
Past – processing trauma and life events, facilitating healing, emotional release, and internal balance. Exploring patterns, meaning, and personal narratives. Accepting and integrating parts of the self.
Present – navigating change, crisis, or current life events; releasing limiting beliefs and cultivating supportive ones; developing the ability to work with emotions as a source of strength and growth; learning tools for emotional regulation, reducing stress and anxiety, and building psychological resilience. Strengthening the capacity to experience pleasure, joy, and fulfillment from the good in one’s life.
When appropriate, additional integrative tools may be included, such as:
-
Working through bodily sensations – to deepen inner connection, understand internal and external signals, and process stored emotional charges held in the body (inspired by Focusing and Somatic Experiencing).
-
Working with imagination – as a gateway to the unconscious and a powerful means of regulation and relaxation (inspired by the Guided Imagery approach).
-
Dialogue between parts of the self – to develop awareness, compassion, and integration between inner parts (inspired by Gestalt Therapy and related approaches).
