How to Submit a Proposal
Overview
The impact of emerging Artificial Intelligence in the field of helping and healing, and the continued commodity making of therapy invites their opposite nature to be called upon to rise up and provide balance. Research is being collected that a growing number of people are reporting benefit from accessing better mental health information through the applications of Artificial Intelligence chat bots, and the impact of telehealth platforms on making mental health support more accessible is clear. All parts are welcome, the size of the cloth of suffering requires many hands of caring and ways to carry it. Where there is great investment and energy in marketing AI and Telehealth for mental health and wellness, the awareness around the profound benefits Integrated Mental Health and Wellness remains too limited.
The relational effect of trauma, loss and familial distress occurs within the therapy relationship. Inclusive of all modalities and theoretical approaches, clinical work works best when this parallel process is realized and honored. The facilitating co-regulation that occurs in the authentic therapeutic relationship can be of service by not only inviting reciprocal embodiment but importantly empowerment. The returning and reclaiming of one’s home in the body blooms into one’s claiming their place in the world unapologetically. The body is always the pathway back to the present moment, and through caring for this moment within ones self more effectively with better and more complete information, one changes their relationship with their world. Integrated Mental Health and Wellness is uniquely equipped to provide the most efficient and effective way home to both.
