With the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been exposed to a world of financial pressure, social isolation and negative headlines. As we adjust to life behind masks, many of us have struggled with increased panic and deeper anxiety caused by significant future uncertainty.

If you have been struggling to cope recently, you certainly aren’t alone.

There is no better time to reach out for appropriate support in order to help you heal and recover from your experiences. Holistic counseling is an option that can help to ease your symptoms of agitation along with providing powerful self-supportive tools for improved wellbeing.

Here are the 5 healing ways that holistic counseling can make a positive difference:

Safe space. Holistic counseling is practiced from an approach of absolute respect and supportive non-judgement. Each session is an opportunity to explore the connections between the emotions you feel and the potential causes behind them. Without fear of negative impact, you are free to thoroughly explore your feelings with a trained professional.
Wider perspective. The way we feel is contributed to by a variety of aspects which are not exclusive to one singular area of our life. Holistic counseling works to understand the whole person rather than just one unique event within our past or present. This cohesive approach will allow for deeper and much more detailed healing over time.
Positive energy. Holistic therapy uses a full menu of therapeutic techniques to facilitate healing and strengthening of the mind. These methods include; positive affirmations, guided visualizations, meditation and relaxation exercises. As your mental health becomes stronger the effects will permeate positively in your relationships, physical health, and wellbeing.
Deeper mindfulness. The wellness of our mind has significant impact on the health of our body, and visa versa. When trauma is stored within the body, it begins to negatively affect every area of our wellbeing. Holistic counseling encourages consciousness. By understanding the signals of your mind and body you are better equipped to develop true alignment.
Peaceful focus. If you are suffering from PTSD or depression, you are likely exhausted by the weight of your experience. Mental health battles are extremely depleting. Holistic counseling seeks to lessen the load you carry by finding calm within the chaos. In time, you will be able to use the skills you are taught to find peace within yourself.

No matter what you have been through, there is always route forwards. Holistic counseling can offer you freedom from the trap of negative mental health. Each session will work to liberate you from the trauma you carry. Invest in your future by seeking the specific support that you deserve.

You could not have prepared for the events of 2020 – none of us could. We may not be out of the woods quite yet but that doesn’t mean that we cannot empower ourselves to overcome the stress it has caused. Take steps today to empower yourself, both during this crisis and far beyond it.

We invite you to take control of your anxiety and find emotional peace. Give us a call 860-385-1472 for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
