By way of introduction I wanted to say how glad I am that Durwin sprouted this pod, and the discussions have been thought provoking, so thank you all!
The title of this post is really the main question that has come up for me. What is Integral Psychotherapy?
Some of my homebaked ideas are about attending to all four quadrants in the session, either directly or indirectly; promoting growth in all four quadrants, (which also includes awareness of the possible limitations of psychotherapy and of our knowledge/capacity in our area of expertise, and the need to refer (this can be expanded into another post)); and attending to our own awareness/growth/development.
Somehow I also keep coming back to the importance of promoting an awareness practice, which often is the essence of the session, and to Nondual wisdom as a map for my work.
These are just some thoughts off the top of my head.
A quick search lead me to: What is Integral Psychotherapy - on YouTube Integral Psychotherapy - on Wikipedia
and there's more that I'm still sorting through. But I would love to hear what this means to you, how you understand it, and how you use it in your practice. Also, if anyone has any more resources to recommend that would be fantastic.
