Mind-body counselling looks the connections between emotional,
mental and
physical wellbeing.
The mind and body are connected in both directions -
each affects
the other:
The body can affect the mind - for example the horrible
experience of sea-sickness
The mind can affect the body - for example the physical
impacts of grief or stress
How therapy can help
Therapy helps with mind-body problems by working with clients to
understand and untangle the two-way connection between mind and
body. It is a safe space to talk about and explore what is happening
so it can be made sense of. The
long term goal is to reintegrate mind and body through compassionate insight and
understanding.
