What is Holistic Mental Health? #shorts

Have you ever wondered what is holistic mental health? Holistic mental health is an approach to your mental and emotional well being that considers your entire body, your mind and your spirit. Oftentimes in healthcare, it's a very systems based approach. So conventional treatment would say if you're anxious to look at brain chemistry and then to give you prescriptions or supports that reorient your brain chemistry. Specifically, they like to emphasize increasing serotonin. A holistic mental health practitioner, on the other hand, would look at your trauma, they would look at your biology, they would look at your experiences, your psychology. They would look at your relationship to meaning, existentialism, spirituality. They would assess your anxiety or your depression or your symptoms as indicators of what is out of balance and as tools to help you figure out what needs to be healed and how. Holistic mental health is all about helping you feel like yourself again by honoring your symptoms as messengers and then listening to those symptoms so that we can create healing as a whole person. And by healing, I don't mean an absence of symptoms, but I mean a predominance, an excess of bliss and health. Holistic mental health is amazing and you can feel like yourself again, safely, powerfully, integratedly and naturally.
