Four Pillars of OM Psychology
How can OM Psychology help you?
OM Psychology aims to support individuals to grow and develop in four key elements; self-efficacy, resilience, healing and self-actualisation. Together, these four pillars provide a comprehensive framework for promoting psychological well-being, fostering personal growth, and facilitating the therapeutic journey toward healing and self-fulfillment.
We get asked a lot what each element is.
Resilience: Resilience refers to the ability to bounce back from difficult experiences and adapt positively to adversity. In therapy, fostering resilience involves helping individuals develop coping skills, emotional regulation strategies, and a mindset that enables them to overcome challenges and setbacks effectively.
Self-Actualisation: Self-actualisation is a concept introduced by humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow, referring to the realization of one’s full potential and the pursuit of personal growth and fulfillment. In therapy, facilitating self-actualisation involves supporting clients in exploring their values, passions, and strengths, and empowering them to pursue meaningful goals aligned with their authentic selves.
Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy, a concept proposed by psychologist Albert Bandura, refers to belief in one’s ability to accomplish tasks and achieve goals. In therapy, enhancing self-efficacy involves helping clients develop confidence in their skills, problem-solving abilities, and capacity to exert control over their lives. This can be achieved through setting achievable goals, providing encouragement and positive reinforcement, and offering opportunities for skill-building and mastery experiences.
Healing: Healing encompasses the process of restoring physical, emotional, and psychological well-being following experiences of trauma, loss, or distress. In therapy, the goal of healing is to facilitate the resolution of past wounds, alleviate psychological distress, and promote overall recovery and wholeness. This may involve various therapeutic techniques, including processing emotions, challenging maladaptive beliefs, building healthy coping mechanisms, and fostering a sense of acceptance and integration of one’s experiences.
