Description
If you've ever experienced a pivotal life event that felt as though it broke you apart and left you struggling to recover, psychologist Laurel Parnell understands. After the tragic death of her son, when expert knowledge in trauma recovery wasn't enough to reclaim her True Self, she embarked on a journey that led to the development of a whole new approach.
Releasing What Isn't Yours introduces Multidimensional Integrative Healing (MDIH), a powerful healing method that integrates transpersonal psychology—looking beyond ego or the sense of self to explore deep spiritual and transcendent experiences—Eastern spiritual practices, and diverse spiritual and energetic traditions of the world. Dr. Parnell also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), her protocol variation focused on individual attachment style.
MDIH recognizes there are different dimensions of reality that exist and can be accessed for healing. These include physical, emotional, psychological, somatic, and spiritual. By understanding these various dimensions, we can better align with our inner knowing and innate healing intelligence. Come back to the version of who you know yourself to truly be. MDIH can guide you to access resources that can be called on for help when needed, engage your energetic sovereignty, release energies that don't belong to you, and finally move toward wholeness.
