Other practices can absolutely be used alongside traditional therapy, coaching, or mental health-related medication. In fact, I would encourage it, since professional mental health support is just one tool to have in your mental health 'toolbox.' While these services can offer great benefits, they aren’t a one-size-fits-all approach and can’t completely solve all problems for all people. So adding other things to your toolbox that promote healing, such as prayer, meditation, nutrition regimens or supplements, exercise, social support, and more, can help you become the best version of yourself. You don’t have to choose between them. What’s healthy and helpful for one person may not be for another, so it’s important to add tools that work for you. You can also talk with your therapist or coach about these practices and their importance in your life.
