IN THIS PODCAST:What is holistic? Exercise advice Mindfulness WHAT IS HOLISTICHaving a holistic outlook on your therapy, habits, and overall life practices means simply look at the entire picture. Being holistic and working holistically means observing how everything impacts everything else. This is why holistic counseling will not only look at which emotional issues someone is dealing with, but will also look at what a person’s eating, exercise, and daily habits are because they too have an overall impact on someone’s health. EXERCISE ADVICERecent findings suggest that people who are anxious prefer to do weight training and people who are depressed may prefer to do cardio. To really oversimplify her research, what she has found is that cardio is very good for depression and weight-training is really good for anxiety.
