Holistic Therapy Programs at Southern Sky Recovery
The uniqueness of holistic therapy programs comes from their method of treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—at once. Holistic therapy believes that people’s bodies, minds, and spirits have a powerful relationship. Through a holistic therapy program in Bluffton, SC, clients can learn how their physical and psychological well-being are connected. Instead of being viewed as a person with physical or mental health symptoms, a client is viewed as a whole, well-rounded individual.
The Importance Of Holistic Therapy Programs
In many ways, holistic therapy programs are similar to traditional therapy programs. They use talk therapy to understand the client’s personal goals and struggles. But holistic and other alternative therapy programs add a dimension of physical and spiritual healing practices.
Spiritual practices don’t require clients to accept a religion. Rather, these practices encourage clients to find a deeper meaning in their lives and relationships with others. Clients in holistic counseling may also explore how their feelings, emotions, and thoughts affect their bodies and physical health. Ultimately, clients grow to understand themselves better, leading to higher self-esteem.
Many alternative therapy program practices tie into or complement more traditional therapy practices. The focus on spirituality or a higher awareness is similar to the “higher power” concept used in many 12-step recovery groups. And holistic therapy programs incorporate the concept of mindfulness or awareness of the present moment, which is central to cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Holistic practices promote acceptance of a client’s circumstances. An accepting attitude makes it easier for clients to self-manage their thoughts and feelings effectively, which is an essential part of recovery.

What To Expected In Holistic Therapy
In a holistic therapy program in Bluffton, SC, therapists work with each client on a treatment plan that meets the client’s needs and preferences. There are many alternative therapy program techniques, and not all of them will be right for every client.
Specific techniques may include:
- Massage and bodywork that focuses on releasing tension in the body
- Psychotherapy to discuss any emotions that emerge after the release of bodily tension
- Visual imagery
- Relaxation exercises
- Breath exercises
- Movement practices like yoga and tai chi
Holistic therapists use physical exercises as a way to regulate the nervous system. Since the body and mind are connected, a stable nervous system can help stabilize emotions. The bodywork also reinforces the mind-body connection. When patients relax through physical therapy techniques, both their physical and mental health will improve. They may become more aware of triggers or experiences that provoke emotional and psychological distress. Holistic therapy programs can help clients develop tools to manage triggers.
