I see clients as a hammock that has four bars holding them up: Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit. We each have weights that we put in our hammocks, both positive and negative stressors. I try to strengthen each pole so that my clients can handle the weight in their “hammocks”.
Body: Breathing, to slower heart rate, exercise to lessen cortisol and create endorphins, sleep that regulates mood and focus. Physical history, medications, etc.
Mind: Identifying the irrational thoughts that we all have, that contribute to stressors. Biblio therapies, communication skills, career development.
Emotions: Process how to express emotions, how they affect thinking, feeling, and perceiving. Need for positive peer group, and community.
Spirit: Opportunity to explore spiritual growth, especially when your body, mind, and emotions are worn out!
