The word detox is applied to everything from week-long juice cleanses to a New Year abstinence from alcohol. But could the process be used to achieve cleansing and re-energising in more than a physical sense<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

\u2018Emotional detoxes\u2019 have been on offer in spas in the US and UK for some time, and claim to treat the toxicity that arises in the body as a result of stress and negative emotions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Denise Leicester runs an emotional detox at a retreat in England, and says it\u2019s all about making a permanent change to the way we think. The key, she says, is to escape the \u2018toxic treadmill\u2019<\/strong> of negative feelings and scenarios that we can\u2019t seem to break. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you feel anger or fear, resentment, jealousy, frustration or even boredom in your heart, the chances are you have disconnected from the truth of who you are<\/strong>,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd from this disconnection toxicity manifests in the form of problems and limitations instead of opportunities and abundance.\u201d <\/p>\n

Emotional detox retreats generally consist of a mixture of spa treatments and healing activities. As well as massages, yoga, meditation and other relaxation techniques<\/strong>, you can also expect one-on-one time with a counsellor and time allocated for personal reflection. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately there are no specific emotional detox programmes currently available at Irish spas, but you will find a number of small holistic retreats that loosely follow the same processes.
