Transpersonal “Holistic” Therapy

Service Description

What is transpersonal therapy? Transpersonal therapy takes a holistic approach to therapy with an emphasis on spirituality. This type of therapy aims to address the client's mental, physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual needs in order to facilitate healing and growth. The approach draws on a combination of modern psychology and spiritual tools to focus on the experience of being human. Like solution-focused therapy models, transpersonal psychotherapy explores positivity and potential for the future rather than focusing on specific problems or challenges. How Does It Work? Unlike many other forms of talking therapy, transpersonal therapy is not solely focused on the individual, it refers to how we have experiences in life that place us beyond just our own self, but where we feel connected to others and to a greater whole. It explores the idea that all things in life are interconnected, and that viewing ourselves as one part of a whole (rather than as separate entities) can aid healing. It helps those who are struggling to find their purpose in life, as well as anyone who wants to find a higher purpose. It integrates different components of human existence (spiritual, social, emotional, physical, creative and intellectual) and brings them together as one complete element. Techniques Used: Meditation: Meditation has been proven to alleviate conditions like anxiety, depression , PTSD and so much more. Dreamwork: You may be asked to talk about your dreams or keep a dream journal. Creativity: You may be asked to draw or paint a picture or create a model to demonstrate how you are feeling or to expressyour spiritual self. Other creative exercises might include journaling and music. Who Does It Help? Transpersonal therapy is a holistic approach that emphasizes the role of a healthy spirit. It can be used to treat anxiety, phobias, addiction, depression and other mood and behavior disorders. It can be also beneficial to anyone looking to explore their spiritual side or who is interested in spiritual wellbeing. In basic terms, transpersonal therapy is ‘heartfelt' rather than theory-driven. What to expect? We currently have 4 therapist available. You will complete an intake questionnaire to help us understand your needs. At this time a determination will be made to choose the best therapist for you (*if you haven’t already chosen) how often you will see your therapist and some of the techniques that will be used to help you.
