About the course
This is a toolbox created to help integrate inner self, and build a stronger life foundation so one can reach beyond self, toward others. Not only becoming more balanced physically, mentally and spiritually, integration results in well-being, a sense of belonging and increased resiliency in times of trouble or doubt. This may be applicable to those with PTSD, autism, near-death experiences, chronic or sudden critical physical illnesses, depression, drug/alcohol recovery, "dual-diagnoses" recovery and more. Coherence of self, exists in a well-connected person, who lives within their body well, has appropriate emotional responses and can maintain a social and spiritual bond with others. The theory is that this balance can be achieved through: A strong physical foundation, and knowing where you are energetically within your body; using knowledge gained through dreams and practice in re-framing past events; discovering who you want to be and your heart's desire in life; realizing that you must use your inner will to begin this journey--and you must begin to live as if you are going to live (begin to build a future now). Only you can make these choices for yourself--no one can do any of this for you. Through strengthening your body and mind, only then will you expand your self toward health and reach out toward others--and become a help to others also.
​
We cannot rush health--it comes in its own time. The main idea is that you will choose a practice, and practice it every day, even if it is just breathwork for only 5-10 minutes. Impatience and overuse only works against us...we are seeking balance.

Integrating the Self is a self-coaching application, and a resource for therapists who are working with clients. We do not give advice, diagnose, or recommend any course of action for the site participants. We encourage the participant in their choice of applications, and may offer individualized coaching sessions. This program is based upon both personal and professional experience of the author. If a participant experiences an exacerbation of a mental or physical condition while participating in any of the activities, they have several options: They have the option of trying a different activity; they may stop for a time and re-start at a slower pace; they may realize it is the STORM before the NORM in their nervous system. It is up to each individual and/or their family or therapist to determine the right course of action if the participant is having a negative reaction to activities in this course.
