How Your Holistic Therapist Can Help You 

My practice is based on the principles of Psychosynthesis.  Psychosynthesis is a philosophy for living, a set of principles and a dynamic, open-ended approach to personal and transpersonal integration and synthesis. Your Holistic Therapist seeks to enable you to discover and take the next step toward greater inner freedom and responsible expression in the world. This process prepares one to choose consciously to cooperate with a natural growth and unfoldment, which leads to order and harmony within the individual and in society.

• It is a collection of techniques and exercises designed to help us move away from what we don't want in our lives and towards what we do. It is not just a theory, but is a practical, working method that integrates principles and techniques from many approaches to personal growth.

• Your Holistic Therapist uses a comprehensive approach to self-realization and the development of human potential.
• The essential aim of your Holistic Therapist is to help people discover their true spiritual nature, then to effectively utilize this discovery in everyday life.
• Your Holistic Therapist helps you to realize your creative potential, increase your ability to function harmoniously in the modern world, and improve the quality of all your relationships, and to do what we want to do when we tune into our innermost sense of self and purpose.
• So Psychosynthesis is a kind of therapy, and it is a method of self improvement, but more than this, it is also a process that co-operates with the unfolding evolution of all nature.
• It aims to bring awareness, wholeness and connection to the process of evolution as it happens in each of us.

Psychosynthesis began around 1910 with the Italian psychiatrist, Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), a contemporary of both Freud and Jung, and to the present day it continues to evolve. It has much to offer to the world and its potential seems to be limitless. It is a growing movement with centers around the world, including Argentina & Brazil, Australia & New Zealand, Canada, U.S.A. & Mexico, and most of Europe.

 Unlike other kinds of counseling, Psychosynthesis has no fixed idea of what someone 'should' be like - indeed, with Psychosynthesis, it is quite the contrary. It is only successful when we have become more what we want to be like.

Psychosynthesis has been described as 'a psychology with a soul', and this is what distinguishes it from many other forms of psychotherapy. Emphasizing the value of intuition, inspiration and creative insight, it is a form of 'transpersonal psychology'.

While it concentrates on the personality, it also explores these areas that we could call spiritual, although it in no way imposes any form of doctrine or belief system upon the person using it. Psychosynthesis is not a religion, nor would it ever want to be. Although once you start doing Psychosynthesis it becomes a way of life, one of its greatest qualities is that it allows you to be and do whatever you want. So it is equally suitable for Christians, Buddhists, Pagans, Moslems, atheists, agnostics - indeed, anyone at all.
