Integration
What integration actually means
Integration is not a mood. It is the work of turning an experience into understanding, choices and habits.
People often describe the days after a clinically supervised session as open, tender, or strangely clear. That window closes. Integration is what you do while it is open.
Three questions that do most of the work
- What surfaced that I did not expect?
- What does it ask of me this week, in practical terms?
- What structure would make that easier to keep?
Where coaching fits
The clinic holds the treatment process; coaching holds the container for emotional processing and lasting change. Neither replaces the other, and anything medical always goes back to your treating clinician.
