So, I'm a student and I'm studying DipHE Complementary Healthcare and Wellbeing Level 5
After my first two weeks at university, I began to understand what it means to be a holistic, massage, physiotherapist, or any other complementary therapist.
During one of our lectures, the tutor posed the question, "What do you mean by the term complementary therapist?"
The first thought that crossed my mind was that a therapist is essentially a counsellor with additional skills. When you think about it, this profession embodies the idea of a counsellor who addresses not just the mind but also the body and emotions.
Therefore, it's important to remember that when you visit a complementary therapist, you are not just treating your physical self; you are working to restore balance to your entire being. This state of balance is referred to as homeostasis and equilibrium.
