HOLISTIC THERAPY AND HEALing
Dan’s approach to therapy and healing engages mind, body, emotion, spirit and more. He believes that healing happens when individuals work together inside a loving, vulnerable and compassionate community to remember and reclaim all they have lost in their socialization into systems of oppression where everyone is harmed. All healing journeys are personal and unique, and are part of our interconnectedness to each other and all there is.
What is holistic therapy?
To me therapy is about being seen for who you are, unfolding in words and silence, action and presence. In this journey I am a witness, someone to help hold the space where you are free to flow and be whole. When I say I'm a holistic therapist, I could claim my training as a counselor, and Psy.D., but so much of what I mean would be lost in the assumptions and common understandings of what therapy is.
The healing process
When I say healing, I mean that I practice intuition and empathy and connection to mind, body, emotion and spirit, individually and collectively. I share my personal medicine when it may be welcomed or asked for, it is never imposed. I think of healing as a dance that moves and stills and ebbs and flows as we live our lives into liberation.
