Anyone know anything about Psychology & Holistic Health?
Answer:
Hi,
My name is Regina and I also majored in psychology and then went on to receive my Holistic Health Counselor certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I also will be going back for my PhD in Clinical psychology, most likely in the fall of 2009 or 2010.
I lead a yahoo group and study group through the Alumni Association of the Institute for Integrative nutrition, and I can tell you there are many of us interested in expanding upon this field and building it to become more mainstream with additional professional opportunities. Right now, however, the opportunities available are independently made.
I am also founding a school that will begin taking students in the Fall of 2008. This school, The Institute for Integrative Mental Health will be educating both mental health professionals and holistic health counselors to work in this field. As a graduate, you would automatically be included in the referral network that I am establishing across the country to promote this work.
Advertising for the school, and information open to the public is scheduled to be released at the beginning of October 2007, so you are one of the first to learn of this upcoming opportunity.
If you are interested in possibly enrolling in this program, I HIGHLY recommend you contact me ASAP and look into the current professional training program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition for this year as a prerequisite of my program.
Please contact me with any additional questions, as I have made it my personal mission to promote this integrative field of mental health.
Sincerely,
Regina Bordieri, CHHC
Geez, this is tough. I can't think of a single thing. Perhaps you could be a practicing psychologist, but also a licensed hypnotherapist. Or also a practitioner of Reiki. Or maybe even someone who is trained to teach meditation techniques.
Not really, Miller, but I don't see why you can't start a new practice filled with help on both fronts. Do your internship and then strike out on your own. Incorporate your interest in Holistic health with your ability and talent for behavioral health. It should make for an interesting position in life. Working with people and finding what works best for them is always a challenge, but it's worth the effort!
Have fun with what you do and you can't go wrong when you follow your heart. There are lots of holistic practitioners out there, just add your expertise to what they already do. I know that there has to be a calling for it if you're interested in it. Forge a new trail and best of luck!
You might check into Rosalyn Bruyere, she is a psychic who reads auras, and works with the UCLA medical center doing research. She has a book out entitled, "Wheels of Light" that might point you in the right direction or at least give you some ideas. I studied under her back in the 80's and she's a wonderful teacher.
I hope this helps. Best of luck on your new adventure!
Hypnotherapy can be a very usefull addition.
