My loud boom was having the threat of being laid off at the agency I was working for. I was out on a walk with a dear friend of mine, Cheryl, and I was sharing my fear of 27 WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH Shelley, I believe a great place to begin is with a definition of “Holistic Psychotherapy” for those who may be unfamiliar with the term or modality.
