Oxford definition of holistic: characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
MEDICINE
characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
Literally the definition of evidence based conventional mental health, but who’s counting 🙃. Friendly reminder that if someone on instagram (professional wellness influencer, rogue MD/Ph.D, chiropractor, etc.) is demonizing evidence based conventional mental health practices, they 1. are unqualified to speak regarding the standards in the field and 2. Do not understand the definition of holistic practice. Oh and 3. Are going to sell you an unregulated and unproven supplement or protocol that will heal your gut and brain in less than 30 days, but we’re the grifters 🙃 Got it.
