Service Description

Align your bodily sense, sense of self, sense of belonging, sense of the possible, sense of purpose and philosophical sense or worldview. 8 foundational sessions, of 45 minutes each, that will reconnect you with the higher version of your self, for the long-term. Philosophical health is not merely the absence of cognitive distress but a dynamic state of flourishing where one's beliefs, values, and actions align in a coherent and meaningful whole. It represents a vital dimension of wellbeing that complements physical and psychological health, focusing on how we make sense of our experiences and integrate them into our understanding of ourselves and the world. Dr Luis de Miranda views sense-making as the essential human activity of creating meaning from experience. This process involves examining the narratives that shape our lives, questioning assumptions that limit our potential, and developing a philosophical framework that supports authentic living. Unlike conventional therapy that focuses primarily on symptom relief, philosophical counseling addresses the fundamental questions at the heart of human existence. Dr Luis de Miranda offers a unique approach through the SMILE_PH method created and developed by himself before it became a worldwide standard: Sense-Making Interviews Looking at Elements of Philosophical Health. This structured method explores six essential dimensions of human experience that contribute to philosophical wellbeing: The bodily sense: Understanding how embodied wisdom informs our thinking and being. The sense of self: Examining identity, authenticity, and personal narrative. The sense of belonging: Exploring relationships, community, and our place in the world. The sense of possibility: Opening to potentiality, choice, and creative futures. The sense of purpose: Clarifying meaning, direction, and what truly matters. The philosophical sense: Developing a coherent worldview that frames experience Through thoughtful dialogue and reflective inquiry, Luis de Miranda can help you examine, understand, and integrate these dimensions to cultivate philosophical health—a state where your beliefs, values, and actions align in a meaningful whole. Whether you're navigating specific challenges or seeking deeper understanding, our collaborative approach illuminates new perspectives and possibilities for living with greater wisdom and authenticity.
