Synopsis

Clients seek more than the alleviation of their symptoms. They also seek integration. Although whole-person wellness is about the integration of mind, body, and spirit, mainstream approaches to health care are often segmented-focusing too much on the disease rather than the person. The Brainbow Blueprint® bridges the gaps in today's mental health treatment. Based on over four decades of research and clinical practice, this book is the first of its kind to combine the fields of psychotherapy, somatics, nutrition, biology, herbal medicine, and spirituality to address the needs of the whole person. Accessible to both beginning and advanced practitioners, the methods in this book harmonize and overlap with each other-focusing on integration-to help clients get in touch with themselves so they can better manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, insomnia, chronic pain, substance use disorder, digestive issues, and more. Filled with step-by-step handouts, worksheets, adherence strategies, culinary medicine recipes, and clinical assessments, The Brainbow Blueprint is the comprehensive roadmap you need to incorporate the emerging and revolutionary field of integrative medicine and nutrition into your practice.
