A guide to better mental and physical health through mind-body medicine

At the Connecticut Center for Integrative Medicine, located in the Stamford, Connecticut, area, we realize your current health issues could be the manifestation of several challenging life events. To truly attain long-term wellness, it’s necessary to confront these past events in a way that lets your nervous system process and move beyond them. If not adequately addressed, these unresolved experiences often translate into physical symptoms. With mind-body medicine, patients can enjoy a more holistic approach to improving their quality of life.

Mind body medicine

How does mind-body medicine work?

The concept of mental and physical well-being is as old as time, but in the modern world, persistent negative stress or distress often manifests in myriad ways. Lingering traumas from the past and particularly harmful instances occurring during our formative years can lead to digestive complications, chronic pain, anxiety, and numerous other conditions impacting our daily lives. Our skilled naturopathic doctors are trained to employ various methods to access enduring mental and physical wellness and fortitude. Each interaction with our patients is carefully personalized to align with their unique life experiences, genetics, and surroundings.

What mind-body medicine solutions may be recommended for me?

We have a wide selection of services available at our practice. When we evaluate and discuss your concerns, we can make appropriate recommendations regarding where to turn for help and what treatments might work best for you. Below is just a small sample of the services we may recommend after your initial, thorough assessment:

  • Integrative psychotherapy
  • Mind-body medicine counseling
  • Somatic Experiencing (SE)
  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
  • Internal family systems
  • Narrative medicine
  • Acupuncture
  • Biofeedback
  • Clinical hypnotherapy

What are the primary benefits of mind-body medicine?

  • A holistic approach to health. Mind-body medicine takes into account the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. This allows for a more comprehensive approach to improving overall health and addressing underlying issues.
  • Natural solutions. Many mind-body medicine techniques are non-invasive and use natural methods such as nutrition, exercise, and relaxation techniques to promote healing in the body.
  • Focus on prevention. By addressing root causes of illness and promoting self-awareness, mind-body medicine can help prevent future health issues from arising.
  • Increased self-awareness. Mind-body medicine encourages individuals to become more in tune with their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. This can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and better stress management.

In this video, Dr. Robert Kachko discusses the role of mind-body medicine and its effect on sustainable long-term healing.

What is mind-body medicine?

This is Dr. Robert Kachko from New York and Stamford Centers for Integrative Medicine. I want to spend some time today discussing with you the role of mind-body medicine, in sustainable long-term healing.

At New York and Stamford Centers for Integrative Medicine, we consider three essential factors in your long-term health. Your biography means what happened to you, your biology, and your ecology, the environment in which you live your life.

What is the role of mind-body medicine?

The role of mind-body medicine has never been more important than it is today. We know through research that trauma and difficult experiences that have happened to us, especially adverse childhood events, deeply impact us on a physical and emotional level.

Certainly, if we feel anxiety or depression, we have to consider the role of the mind-body connection. But even for physical conditions like digestive symptoms, including irritable bowel syndrome, or chronic pain syndromes like arthritis.

When we consider the role of the mind-body, we have to understand that the body is always attempting to keep us safe and the physical symptoms that we experience can be a result of the body quite literally screaming out in pain.

What treatment options are available in the mind-body medicine approach?

We offer a comprehensive approach in our clinic. We use many different mind, body, and trauma focused modalities.

We use Somatic Experiencing and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, to help each individual process the experience they’ve dealt with on a body level.

We use other tools like acupuncture to help settle the nervous system and clinical hypnotherapy to help give a sense of what the subconscious mind is dealing with.

Treatments like biofeedback and neurofeedback help each individual process the events that have happened to them in the past.

Long-term sustainable healing requires addressing these difficult experiences gradually and in a safe way. We are here to help you reach optimal states of health on your journey to sustainable well-being.

Make an appointment with us today to experience the benefits of mind-body medicine.
