Self Awareness: Empty Your Cup

As we get older and more experienced in life, we begin to feel more confident about our philosophy of life and more rooted in our beliefs. At the same time, we are often experiencing more stress, more responsibility and at times more anxiety about how are we going to get everything that we have dreamt of accomplished! Then someone older and wiser comes along, perhaps a parent, grandparent or a spiritual teacher who has a little morsel of wisdom to share and turn our noses up at it saying thinking that the idea is outdated or they just don’t understand. But is that really the case? Is it really the elder who doesn’t understand? Or is it our ego stepping in to sabotage our success.

 Sometimes we even repeat this process with our Creator. We might say a very heartfelt prayer asking for some particular change or healing in our life. But just as soon as the prayer is said our ego mind goes nuts trying to figure out how we are going to accomplish this task or gain this new insight or heal some situation or relationship issue that we have going on. Not a minute does our mind rest or let up. Do we really think that from our little human ego perspective we can come up with a better plan to accomplish our request than our Creator?

What is Integrative Psychotherapy?

The Integrative approach to psychotherapy offers a "wholistic" approach to healing. What "holistic" entails is UNIQUE to the individual, but usually involves identifying values and belief systems that conflict with, (thus preventing you from being able to obtain), what you are choosing to manifest in your life. By working to change those belief systems you have the opportunity to experience a mindfulness in thoughts, actions, emotions, spirituality and body awareness bringing you into the fullness of your imagined future quickly and with ease and grace. With Integrative Psychotherapy you can expect benefits like:

• Greater awareness of your mind-body connection
• More energy to accomplish your goals
• Clarity of your life's purpose
• Motivation to take conscious action in important areas of your life
• Transforming current dysfunctional relationships into satisfying and fulfilling relationships
• Regain self-esteem and self-confidence
• Reach previously impossible goals
