The curative process from an holistic perspective

Holistic is about the whole person – mind, body and spirit. The way a person acts, and how they react to specific situations depends on all these elements. You might react differently to situations at different points in your life because these elements are at different levels. We all have a vital force within us and we can affect how strong this vital force is.

There are many influences on the mind, body and spirit:

Diet: What we eat, how we eat. If we are feeling down then we are likely to reach for ‘comfort’ foods, which tend to be the unhealthy option. These can have an opposite effect to that required, ie if they are high in saturated fats and/or sugars they can make you feel sluggish and miserable, or you might feel guilty about eating them because it has interfered with your healthy eating plan, which makes you feel miserable again.

Work: Obviously plays a huge part in our lives. Being satisfied or unsatisfied in a job can have major effects on how we feel.
