BIO-PSYCHO-SOCIO-SPIRITUAL MODEL
Every problem can be looked at from in four ways. A biomedical focus addresses brain and body health, including brain chemistry abnormalities, hormonal problems, dietary problems, and exercise and lifestyle issues. A psychological focus looks at the mind, emotions, personality, values, and unresolved traumatic memories. A social focus looks at family relationships, school and work issues, as well as, goals and purpose in life. A spiritual focus addresses one's faith, religious beliefs, and relationship with God.
DISTRESS RELIEF and LONG TERM CHANGE
We began by providing interventions that can bring relief from emotional distress and situational distress that you made be experiencing. But we are equally concerned with bringing real and lasting change, so you are not in the same situation you were before and not the same person doing the same things that you did before.
