Although the Integral view is a big one, we take a practical view, because sometimes we can find one thing to work on that positively affects the rest. As a wild example, if everyone's telling you one thing and making you feel crazy and bad about yourself, I might hand you some research that shows you to be right, and off you go into the circus of life with calm and humor.
More commonly, there are old wounds affecting the present. What happened is that the pain was likely too much to bear, and you hid it away from your awareness, only it's affecting you indirectly, perhaps causing a symptom or hurting your relationships.
Because the old wounds were too big, we need to give you a safe place, where that pain is made smaller, released, understood, and made more handle-able.
