What Are We Missing When We Go to Therapy?
The Value of Traditional Psychotherapy
Therapy, specifically traditional psychotherapy, is an amazing tool. Anyone utilizing therapy as part of their wellness and well-being toolkit can gain significant support in their life.
However, when it comes to total wellbeing over a lifetime, we may be missing out on other resources if we don’t expand our toolkit.
The Color Metaphor: Expanding Our Palette
Think of therapy as the color orange in a painting. Orange is an incredible color to have; it brings vibrancy and depth. But what if you want other colors to create a more dynamic and holistic painting?
Within the world of therapy, different therapists and styles could represent different shades of orange. More shades of orange enrich your painting, but what about the greens, blues, purples, pinks, and yellows?
Expanding Your Support System
There are numerous other tools available that can enhance our wellness toolkit, bringing more life and joy to our canvas.
Many of these tools might be unfamiliar to us, and we might not realize how they can support our well-being. Relying solely on therapy means we might miss out on other valuable resources that can supplement and strengthen our wellness journey.
Supplementing Therapy with Additional Resources
What else is out there that could support what you're already doing in therapy? Exploring other wellness modalities and tools doesn't detract from the benefits of therapy; instead, it adds strength to it.
Just like adding more colors to your painting enriches it, incorporating various tools into your wellness toolkit builds a more robust and holistic sense of well-being.
Exploring New Wellness Tools
Our Ren Wellbeing subscription is a fantastic way to explore different types of wellness modalities and tools. It's like having an array of paints to use on your canvas.
Maybe you've never heard of Human Design—what might that bring to your life? Or perhaps you haven't tried Kundalini yoga or Stillness techniques. What colors could these add to your paint tray?
What could these tools contribute to your overall wellness and fulfillment in life?
The Benefits of a Diverse Wellness Toolkit
Wellbeing isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. You will need different combinations of tools to support you through different seasons of life.
The Ren Wellbeing app and subscription make it easy to try out other wellness tools, offering a low-risk and highly accessible way to explore. And who knows, you might discover new practices or practitioners that significantly enhance your well-being that you wouldn’t otherwise have found, helping you live the best experience of your life possible.
