Humanistic Therapy at Pacific Beach Health

At Pacific Beach Health, we prioritize your well-being and holistic healing. One of the therapeutic approaches we often recommend is humanistic therapy. This article will delve into the core of humanistic treatment and its significance in our dual diagnosis center in San Diego, CA.

What Is Humanistic Therapy?

Humanistic therapy, often called person-centered therapy, is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of the individual’s experience and intrinsic goodness. Rooted in the belief that every individual has an innate capacity for self-awareness and growth, this therapy allows you to:

  • Discover your true self
  • Understand your feelings and emotions better
  • Develop a sense of self-worth and personal significance

Key Principles of Humanistic Therapy

Understanding the core tenets of this therapy is essential. Some of the primary principles include:

  • Individual Worth: Every person has inherent value and deserves respect and understanding.
  • Personal Growth: Humans constantly evolve and possess the innate growth, transformation, and self-actualization capability.
  • Holistic Perspective: It considers the entire human experience, not just isolated parts. This includes your body, mind, emotions, and spirit.
  • Authenticity: Encouraging honest self-expression and genuine relationships.
