4.2 ENVIRONMENT AND HEALING 4.2.1 Healing From a holistic standpoint, healing encompasses several aspects of health, including spiritual, psychological, emotional, physical, and social wellbeing (Figure 6). The process of healing concentrates on a person’s more significant degree of wellbeing. It takes passive therapies and personal commitments to help people develop or restore their self-incentivisation for emotional and physical wellbeing. (Lu 2014) The definition of healing emphasises procedures of repair, regeneration, reintegration, and recovery that support both occupational, social, physical, mental, and spiritual health of a person and his welfare (Jonas et al. 2014). Archibald (2006) similarly emphasises how important tailoring the healing process to the individual is. Feeney (2009, 7) approaches the healing process to support that assertion with a statement that there are high chances that final true healing is a farfetched bliss. As a result, the actual healing should focus on assisting them in managing the effects of the events. To some, the concept of healing is demeaning since it implies that one should overcome what one has gone through (Feeney 2009). As a result, healing is a case-bycase process, meaning a community-based programme should concentrate on a simplified reaction that allows for personal expression. It is critical to emphasise individual recovery and the value of communal conversation in the healing process (Koolmatrie 2000). The same programmes have become subjects investigated across the United States and Canada (Archibald, 2006), with successful programmes focusing on the local backgrounds while developing therapeutic models to address localised behaviours (Feeney, 2009).
