Holistic Therapy Day is celebrated on July 26 each year. Holistic therapy treats the human body as a synergy of mind, body, and soul. It aims to bring a harmonious balance among all the elements of the being. Unlike modem medicine, it does not treat an ailment or disease as an isolated problem. Holistic therapy believes every being is an amalgamation of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects, so, recommends a comprehensive treatment that works towards nurturing all of them.
Holistic therapy supports that an imbalance in one aspect of the self can cause distress in another. For instance, prolonged mental stress has the potential to transform into physical sickness, hence, it aims to heal holistically rather than palliatively.
The practice of holistic therapy extends beyond the therapy room. A self-care practice that centers and nurtures all our senses falls under the umbrella of holistic therapy.
Joslyn Center and Joslyn Wellness Center have many activities that address your life through this holistic approach. Primarily, getting out and being with others is crucial for overall health and wellness. If you are suffering a loss or caring for someone whose functioning is limited, attending the Adult Bereavement or Caregiver Support Groups offers camaraderie, valuable information, and solid support. These benefits will then lead to easing your load and the stress that comes with it. Likewise, if you’re feeling out of shape, any of the classes involving movement will help you feel better overall. And, of course, meditation and brain health will certainly enhance your sense of well-being.
For specific issues, we have focused groups and classes, as well as English and Spanish counseling for individuals, couples, and family, including Problem-Solving Counseling & Support. Come join in at your own pace, even if it feels like a challenge. Your whole self deserves a holistic approach to life.
