My approach is embodied, in that it accounts for our physical body and its environment, and the impacts these can have on its well-being or 'dis-ease'. It is also culturally and politically aware, in that it places the individual firmly within their religious, generational, and cultural context, so they do not feel they have to explain anything, or bring only a part of themselves to therapy.
