Our Philosophy
No presenting problem is an isolated problem.On Track Therapy offers a holistic approach to a wide range of life's problems, by working with the 'Whole Person', addressing body, mind and spirit in equal proportions. We believe that to be 'complete' and 'whole' as a person all three aspects of 'self' must be worked with.
Spirituality is what gives our life experiences meaning. It provides us with our identities, morals and personal values.
Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham, in their book 'The Spirituality of imperfection' (quoted by permission of Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, Inc.):
"The spiritual is what makes us wholly human. It holds our experiences together, shapes them into a whole, gives them meaning, and allows them - and us - to be whole. Without the spiritual, however physically brave or healthy or strong we may be, however mentally smart or clever or brilliant we may be, however emotionally integrated or mature we may be, we are somehow not 'all there'."
If we have no framework for giving meaning to our life experiences, that can lead to all sorts of difficulties in our lives. Our aim in these instances, is to offer people opportunities to explore and challenge their current perceptions and beliefs along with their impact on self and others.
