Treatment approach

Spiritual Approach

The use of the Spiritual Approach includes various spiritual techniques, including prayer, to assist clients to understand their symptoms and experiences, create meaning in their lives, live more fulfilling lives, have a supportive community, connect with others and feel more grounded and centered. Many individuals who experience this approach see a reduction and reversal of symptoms.

cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT has been carefully studied, and is proven to be effective in treating many conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders.

Existential Approach

Similar to the humanistic approach the existential approach to therapy distinguishes itself from other therapeutic styles by its concern for positive growth over pathology. However, the two approaches differ by theme in that the existential therapist is interested in guiding clients to find meaning or purpose in their lives while simultaneously facing their issues. The existential psychologist assumes that the clients’ problems are caused by the failure to create meaning in their lives.’

Energy Healing Approach

The use of the Energy Healing approach involves the use of various techniques, including tapping, to assist clients to work through various symptoms associated with struggles, including trauma. Clients may report moving through the phases of grief and trauma more quickly as they use tapping and other energy healing techniques. Clients who have worked with the energy healing approach have reported a significant reduction or reversal of many symptoms, including pain, allergies, trauma symptoms and eating issues.

Truth Approach

The use of truth in therapy includes the focus on telling and living one’s truth, rather than focusing on sharing information that one believes others want to hear or sharing things that are not true. When clients can tell the truth, they often feel more liberated and able to live authentically, which can help to reverse many of their symptoms.
