​We were always equipped with the natural systems designed for self understanding and actively participating in our own mental, emotional and behavioral health. We just had to advance in our ​​understanding of the more abstract systems, engaged in shaping our mental health.

​

We were never designed, however, to be perfect but we were perfectly designed to live in an imperfect world, make imperfect choices, have unwanted experiences and yet, not just survive but to thrive. We do so, as we were also designed with inner guidance systems to support and guide us back to health and well being, And yes, I'm referring to our mental health, which naturally includes our mental, emotional and behavioral health, because they function as a perfectly integrated team! ​

​​​​

Our "guidance" systems, as we refer to them, operate on both conscious and unconscious levels. protecting us when we cannot, prompting us to what needs correction, and guiding us to the intended path for restoring healthy mental, emotional and behavioral function. These living systems, so seamlessly integrated, also guide every stage of human development, from the core of our survival instincts to the highest level of our human potential or self realization.  

​​

Thanks to advancements in our collective knowledge, from both Eastern and Western models of Psychology, (the Western or medical model, and the Eastern, natural or holistic), extraordinary progress has been made in understanding the more abstract nature of our "mind based" systems, most importantly, our Emotional system, so primary to our Mental Health. This has produced promising new and natural healing solutions in the desperately needed areas of Addiction and Mental Health. And as natural systems, they organically support any treatment plan underway. 

  

​Institutional limitations no longer prevent us from taking advantage of our collective knowledge of the brilliance of our natural human systems. From our timeless teachings to our newest discoveries, we now have everything we need to eliminate an enormous amount of mental and emotional human suffering. Why wouldn't we?​

​

We aren't, after all, perfect but we are self correcting.  ​
