Transform your therapeutic practice by integrating evidence-based lifestyle and whole health interventions into mental health treatment. The Whole Therapist provides comprehensive training on incorporating movement, sleep, breath work, nutrition, connection, and mindfulness/meditation practices into psychotherapy while staying within your scope of practice and honoring trauma-informed, culturally humble approaches.

This course moves beyond theory to practical application. You'll learn the neuroscience foundation (nervous system, window of tolerance, polyvagal theory) that explains why these interventions work, then master the "how" through trauma-sensitive languaging, client-centered approaches, and embodied facilitation. Discover frameworks like the Inner Compass to guide clinical decision-making around acceptance versus change, explore therapeutic modalities including ACT and Motivational Interviewing for sustaining client change, and receive guided practice videos to deepen your personal embodiment.

Module highlights include foundational mind-body practices (meditation, breath work, somatics, visualization), lifestyle interventions with robust research support (movement reducing depression by 25%, sleep optimization through CBT-I components, light exposure for circadian regulation, cold exposure for mood), and nuanced topics like discussing nutrition, spirituality, and connection with clients. Throughout, you'll engage in therapist practices and self-inquiry exercises designed to build authentic languaging, cultural awareness, and clinical confidence.

Whether you're beginning to explore whole health integration or deepening an existing practice, this course provides the framework, evidence base, clinical skills, and ethical guidance to help clients become excellent at living life and feeling good in their bodies. Perfect for therapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, and mental health professionals seeking to offer truly integrative care that addresses both mind and body.
