Identity

The big distinction about wellness psychology is that it is largely a manifestation of your identity, who you believe yourself to be. If you consider yourself a well person, it goes a long way toward producing well habits and a well mind. Your identity is your self image, your self concept, your beliefs and your values. Choosing beliefs and values that are consistent with well behaviors leads to a well mind.

For example, if you were told as a child that if you washed your hair and went outside with a wet head, you'd get sick, there's a good chance you either don't do that, or when you do, you either get sick or worry that you will. This belief, imposed on you by well-meaning but misguided advisors, has no grounding in fact, so merely noticing when you dredge up stuff like this and challenging it to see if it's really true for you can eliminate interference to normal function caused by faulty thinking. You'll actually heal better and faster when you catch yourself in these limiting beliefs and adjust them.

Your identity is based on your sense of self, which largely came from the beliefs of such well-intentioned people who shaped your early life - as Dr. Larry Markson says, your Mothers, Fathers, Teachers and Preachers, MFTP. Discovering the beliefs that prevent you from expressing yourself as you wish, and replacing them with beliefs that empower you and help you grow, lead to a well psychology.

Examine your values, what you consider to be important, and be sure they match your ideals. Honoring your innermost needs and wants instead of denying them creates an internal environment of self-acceptance, integrity and inner peace. Love, respect, honesty, freedom - everyone has a different formula, and investigating yours can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I was not healthy for a 23 year old. I was in constant pain and depression as a result. I was most impressed by the kind and caring staff because I didn't want my healthcare provider looking at me as just another patient."
  • "With maintenance I seem to stay pain free."
  • "I was suffering from just literally aching all over. Previously, I woke every morning to neck pain and that is no longer the case. I have definitely noticed a marked improvement in my overall physical health."
  • "When I started coming to the Chiropractic Health Center, I was taking pain medication to sleep at night, and pain medication to work during the day. I was experiencing headaches at least four out of seven days a week. I cannot believe the improvements I have felt in such a short time. I have more energy than I have had in almost two years. I wish I had come to this office before now."
