Why include holistic tools in a clinical therapeutic process?

We have repeatedly heard many people say that they do not need therapy, that they are not "crazy enough" to go to a therapist, or that their problems cannot be solved by a psychologist, this speech being a great denial (as a defensive mechanism). to address the process of self- knowledge . This speech is covered with fears , beliefs and mandates that you may not be able to name or know from that place.

In these cases it will be interesting, at the beginning, to provide holistic tools to allow an approach to that interior that cannot be approached . Thus, silently, we observe the thoughts that appear when patients prepare to turn off their lights to go inside and from there begin to work.

What happens when we allow ourselves to start a therapeutic process?

The beginning of these processes opens internal doors that in some cases are hermetically closed, allowing the patient to disassemble old structures to reassemble them from another place.

In the sessions, linked by the transference between patient and therapist, the approach to the desire that resides in each person is worked on , taking into account that the patient arrives with internal contents that, in most cases, are not their own, but inherited from a family lineage with which he carries and sometimes such lineage has a great weight.

The word will be the engine that sets in motion that being who could not speak, remaining with anguish, anxieties and fears that hinder his daily life. These processes generate responsibility towards oneself, in order to stop putting the accusation outside and look inside.

How does therapy help?

The therapy helps identify emotions and manage them appropriately for each one. Likewise, it accompanies the paths and stages of change to alleviate the pain of the soul generated by those emotional movements.

We work with the unconscious to know its content, being there where all the emotional information is housed; In this way, it helps to know the causes or roots of the behaviors in the person, trying to generate coherence and harmony between saying, acting and thinking .

Knowing the content of this repressed unconscious leads to discovery in order to heal, with the intention of stopping repeating scenes in life where faces change but not scenarios.

Inside the patient is all the knowledge he needs to feel better. The figure of the therapist is objective and with a neutral listening , thus returning such speech in an inverted way to generate awareness in the patient; respecting the internal times of maturation that enable being able to listen and record what is being worked on, with the sole intention that the patient can write his story from his desire instead of suffering from it, thus generating a second birth from self-knowledge .

Intervention Strategies

There are different ways of approaching these processes in the therapeutic framework, being necessary to evaluate the patient in order to provide the appropriate approach.

Accompanying these instances with holistic tools is a way to encourage the patient to continue applying them during the time he does not attend the consultation .

This consists of the application of certain exercises with various support techniques, such as writing and therapeutic narrative, the recording of emotions that manifest at certain times of the day and in certain situations experienced or that border on memories, guided meditations to stop the rational thought and connect with feeling, among other techniques, depending on each case and its individuality.

In addition to the speech and the word, the therapeutic metaphor is applied, with stories, stories or the work with symbolic figures, where each one, with its repressed content and from that silent unconscious, will put words to it , being the language that this unconscious understands. , thus overcoming the barriers of resistance that disable the search for answers.

In conclusion...

These techniques accompany the processes of the clinic, generating in the patient the connection with his interior .

The union of both practices is an interesting and broad approach so that the being meets his interior and from there evaluates for himself what content to continue with in his life story and what to abandon to find what he wants for himself. .
