A personal conceptualization of healing

Healing in itself is a complex issue, and to that regard this paper focuses on the concept through a whole person care approach. Emphasis is placed on providing a description of healing, identifying it's many attributes and contributing factors, and listing the qualities that define a holistic healer. Complementary therapies have been found to be a major contributor to holistic healing, though more importance needs to be placed on the idea that it is through an intentional change in thought processes, attitudes and practice that a nurse may experience contentment in the role of holistic healer.
