The term "healing" shares its etymological root with the term "wholeness" - a connection that reveals insight into the nature of both coaching and therapeutic work. Accordingly, the term "integral healing" affirms that genuine healing intrinsically entails caring for the whole person and the whole system, recognizing their fundamental interconnectedness.
Developmental practitioners recognize that attending to barriers to development requires an integral approach to healing that honors this wholeness. This entails careful attention to the physical, emotional, relational and meaning-making dimensions of the whole person as they exist within their cultural context. No dimension can effectively be addressed in isolation from the others. Such a holistic approach is firmly anchored in the activation of Central Capability, which serves as the foundation for sustainable transformation and growth.
