People that come in for treatment with Dr. Joy Yang often describe a palpable feeling of unease permeating throughout their lives. This is often described as being “stuck”, either in some or in many aspects, of their lives. The situation might present itself as undue stress from managing emotional pain or the symptom might show itself to be physical pain. Whatever the initial cause of the imbalance that brings a patient in for sessions, treatment seeks to first address the cause or root of the malady. The purpose behind this method being to not simply “apply a bandage” to the issue; rather, the goal always being to address the actual emotional or physical imbalance that shows up as a compass to point the way towards a path to Wholeness.
With the JoyTherapy the prevailing philosophy is that symptoms are not problems to be addressed, handled and then forgotten. Physical and emotional symptoms are actually seen as signs from the Body and Spirit that, in its Infinite Wisdom, leads the way to improved physical or emotional health for each patient if we are sage enough to listen.
This idea stems from the premise that the Body and the Mind work together in a symbiotic partnership. Much like a seesaw at a playground, when one side of the seesaw is “down”, it influences the entire structure. Thus it is with the Body and Mind—when one is “off”, that down aspect influences the working of the Whole. The achievement of Integral Health and Wellness with Dr. Yang, therefore, requires balancing the Body and the Mind to be in harmony with each other.
The healing methods used during the JoyTherapy are designed specifically to help patients reach their full potential to lead full, satisfying lives that are in alignment with the energies of the cosmos. Through principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Dr. Yang’s innovative use of pulse consultations, patients can reach stages of self-healing and self-awareness not achieved previously before. Patients that come in for treatment as a means of continual self-care often report a heightening of strength and will to make better decisions for their lives. Reports also speak of better health and a deeper, more meaningful connection with their Inner Self.
With the goal being Wholeness, treatments for the JoyTherapy are holistic and the patient is afforded the opportunity to learn life-long skills to live a better life. This is accomplished by treating the body, heart, and mind together. As Dr. Yang continuously attests:

“ Healing is “1/3 the patient, 1/3 Me, and 1/3 God!”
