Definition of Wellness
Wellness is defined as feeling content and satisfied on multiple dimensions, including emotional, spiritual, psychological, physical, financial, and cultural. It emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy and self-promotion to prevent burnout, particularly among AAPI women.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
NLP, or neuro-linguistic programming, is a coaching modality that focuses on changing behavior through language. By improving how individuals speak to themselves and others, NLP helps transform internal dialogues and address issues like imposter syndrome.
Ericsonian Hypnotherapy
Ericsonian hypnotherapy, pioneered by Milton Erickson, involves using metaphors, stories, and anecdotes to induce behavior change. Rather than direct suggestions, it facilitates transformation by engaging the subconscious mind through storytelling and inner dialogue.
Ayurveda and Holistic Wellness
Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system from India, focuses on restoring balance to one's original constitution. It considers factors like nutrition, work environment, and personal routines to promote overall well-being and address specific imbalances.
