My career as a Mental Health Nurse over
the last 30 years, of continuous service in Acute Care has been among other things,
assisting others in their struggles for personal growth, integrating internal
divisions, aligning with the divine, easing fear, guilt, shame, anger, and
self-loathing. Often the focus has been on establishing healthy self care patterns and
improvements in the client’s quality of life and self-efficacy though re- building
confidence, self-healing, reducing stress, and or encounters with an essence
beyond their conscious mind. In addition, to support them to feel more safe and
understood within the context of effective and helpful validation and advocacy.
To reestablish hope in their lives, to
feel more vital, to develop internal strength, self-empowerment and volition. Further, to develop more effective boundaries
within themselves and others. To relieve their emotional pain and suffering
that has resulted from past abuse and trauma.
All of this within the Holistic Model of care of the Integration
of Brain, Mind, Body and Spirit or the Holism
of the Biological, Psychological, Sociological, and Spiritual dimensions that
each of us process.
