What does Kardia mean?

Kardia (pronounced kar-dee-uh) is a word of Greek origin. Its etymology enjoys several meanings, including “heart”, “the central seat and organ of the personal life,” and “the seat of mental action, feeling, thinking, willing.” Taking the lead from these definitions, we say it is the heart of the matter…that which drives our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. From our 30 years of doing therapy, we know that finding kardia is often the key to the truths our clients seek.
