Healing Environments: A Daring Paradigm

Healing Environments: A Daring Paradigm Healthcare providers in today’s industry, often treat patients for what they can see is wrong with the patient and stop there. They do not look further, as a holistic physician would. In our society, we look for quick fixes and this tendency is seeping into our healthcare. The holistic approach entails that the doctor looks at the patient physically, mentally, and spiritually and healing them together. The idea of a healing environment is that health care providers focus on the care the patient receives rather than just the disease they may have. Healing is bringing one back to a well and whole person. A healing environment promotes the feeling of safety and comfortability for the patient during one of the most stressful times of their lives (Eberst, 2008)
