Overview

Essential Wholeness describes what it is to be a healthy evolving human being. And then draws on the great psychological and spiritual traditions to help you realise that wellness. Ken Wilber (2000) in his comprehensive attempt to define an integral psychology starts with one major rule: “Everybody is right. More specifically, everybody—including me—has some important pieces of truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace.” Essential Wholeness is interested in what helps people to realize their human potential and spiritual essence. Rather than placing the vast array of Eastern and Western psychotherapeutic and spiritual traditions available to us today in competition with one another, Essential Wholeness helps us see what methods are best for which people at what time. If you already have an eclectic approach to healing and growth then Essential Wholeness will help you to see how those diverse methods fit into the ecosystem of the psyche. To help us realize our full potential and free ourselves from self-defeating patterns, Essential Wholeness psychology integrates: Ericksonian Hypnosis and Psychotherapy, NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Self Relations Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Somatic Psychotherapies, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, TFT (Thought Field Therapy), Family Constellations, NeuroSemantics and Jungian Psychotherapy. It weaves this together with teachings and practices from the three schools of Buddhism: Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana, A Course in Miracles, the teachings of Carlos Castaneda, Osho, Rumi, Adyashanti and, in the Advaita Vedanta tradition (Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, Gangaji and Eli Jaxon Bear). Essential Wholeness uses the Enneagram to integrate all these perspectives.
