The NHS generally
recommends shortterm CBT (typically six
sessions) for depression
and anxiety. While this
can be effective, the
holistic approach to
mental and physical
health teaches us that we
should address the cause,
rather than the symptom.
I have witnessed a more
integrative approach that
requires adaptability and
acknowledges the many
different layers of the
psyche and developmental
stages of life. Thankfully,
the stigma of therapy
is falling apart.
