The Western worldview of domination, separation, and colonization has led humanity into a global crisis where we are fast destroying our own ecosystem. To create a different and more sustainable way of being, then we must teach our clients to look through the lens of interbeing, a combination of inner work, spirituality, and social change. As therapists, we can show them a new understanding of themselves and the world around them.
