Spirituality and Existential Concerns
Spirituality and Existential Concerns. Our process applies various integrative and holistic techniques tailored to your specific needs.
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
The word ‘psyche’ comes from the Greek psykhe, which is defined as “breath, life, soul.” The meaning of the word according to psychology is defined as “the science of mind and behavior.”
Dr. Tara McCormick, founder of Psykhe Center, hopes to restore the spiritual dimension with the contemporary definition. Dr. McCormick recognizes that this spiritual dimension, whether you are religious, atheist, agnostic, or nonreligious, can have a profound and critical impact in one’s psychological, emotional health, and well-being.
Spirituality can sometimes be interpreted as the attempt to understand one’s nature or the meaning of one’s existence, but it is also linked to internal awareness and involves a connection to something greater than ourselves. It also refers to a subjective experience of a sacred dimension[10] and the “deepest values and meanings by which people live incorporating personal growth or transformation, usually in a context separate from organized religious institutions.[6] Many belief systems and cultures describe spirituality as a person’s connection to others and to themselves, that the spirit is the essence of one’s existence.
Dr. McCormick offers a safe space to facilitate holistic, authentic, spiritual, and personal psychological inquiry. Sometimes one may feel they are ‘waking up’ or ‘awakening’ to a dimension of themselves that longs for a deeper self-understanding, insight, and overall purpose or meaning of life. She will help you explore existential concerns and what this means for you.
Periodically, people reach a point in their life where they feel there is more to life, a deeper yearning or understanding, than just going through the motions, going to work, paying the bills, and feeling as though there is ‘more’. People can often ask “Who am I?, What is my purpose?, I want more meaning, but don’t know how, Is this all there is?” etc.
Dr. McCormick is here to help you explore these questions. This exploration of the spiritual dimension is at the heart and impetus for Psykhe Center for Integrative Health.
