Carl Rogers once said that to be "responsibly self directing means that one chooses and learns from the consequences."
Humanistic psychology (and astrology) adhere to the same philosophy of self determination and personal autonomy. To know as much as one can to be able to make the most informed choice about one's life and direction. Ill health can have a thousand causes, or just one or two. Finding the route cause is the key, be it spiritual, emotional or physical. In order to choose wisely one needs to have awareness. Holistic healing attends to all aspects of the individual, not just the biological or emotional. For those interested in learning more about the spiritual and psycho-social aspects of illness, physical conditions and disease, please inquire.
