What Is Emotional Integration?

Emotional integration is many things, but essentially it is the process of gaining emotional intelligence and healing.
 
It is the act of feeling, releasing and/or understanding difficult emotions and experiences so you can clear the blocks from your system and integrate the insights into your life.

 

It is learning to recognize, reconcile and heal our parts (aspects) of self so that we can once again access their skills, energy and wisdom.
 
Essentially, the goal of integration is self-actualization.
 
And when you have self-actualization, or are integrated, and living a vibrant, passionate, purpose driven life, you can fully realize your potential and access:
​

  • Self-fulfillment

  • Self-leadership

  • Self-love

  • Emotional self-regulation

​
This means you truly know yourself - your parts, your desires, limitations (or just limiting beliefs), gifts, fears, concerns and strengths. It is being able to face your own shadow side with love and compassion; to witness that pain, and in doing so, help the part of you who was carrying that burden (of shame, fear, guilt or sadness) to let it go, so that you can welcome that part back into your heart and life.
 
In other words: Integration is the work you do to get to a wholehearted life.

"Emotional integration means recognizing the impact of early life experiences on our current health and well-being, and working through these effects."

Or maybe you need help with dealing with change. I can help you to:

  • Clarify what the change is bringing up in your internal system so you can integrate the associated beliefs and attitudes.

  • Identify where you may need support, and help you strategize ways to obtain that support from your existing network or how to find it externally.

  • Work out what is blocking you from accepting or making the change.

  • Recognize and deal with the grief surrounding the loss of the pre-change world or situation.

  • Practice self-compassion and patience, acknowledging that adapting to change can be a gradual process.

  • Set realistic and achievable goals to help you stay focused and motivated during the transition.

  • Discover and integrate the learnings and growth opportunities that the change may present.

 

I can also help you prepare for and then integrate your insights and learnings from your plant medicine journeys. Or teach you ways to have more productive sessions.

Why integrate?

Most of us are not emotionally integrated. 
 
This can show up in our lives as feeling:

  • depressed

  • uninspired

  • blocked

  • overwhelmed

  • scared

  • anxious

  • stuck.

 
We may have addictions, self-destructive behaviors, or feel like we are unable to do the things we innately know we are capable of.
 
Most of all, we have a nagging feeling we aren’t living up to our full potential.

​

The process of integration will help you recognize that it is just a part of you that is feeling that way, and that there is a process to help you move past this stage to wholehearted living.
