Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a term borrowed from Buddhism. It is a state of consciousness in which internal events are observed without judgment. By increasing our awareness of the present experience we surrender the need to resist it. This attitude of acceptance is an act of kindness toward ourselves that lowers the noise of the inner critic, creating more space for the expression of compassion and joy. One of the cornerstones of experiential psychotherapy is that it uses mindfulness as a means of turning inward, usually with your eyes closed, to notice whatever is going on within you - without preference or judgment. The work is a collaboration between the client and the therapist to incorporate the wisdom of your mind, body and spirit for more balanced healing and integration of self. Mindfulness brings vivid awareness to your behavior, your being and your past. It gives you a chance to rework the beliefs, feelings and images that help determine who you are and provides a grounded yet spacious container for deeper self-understanding.
experiential, mindful and creative. This style of therapy allows you to articulate new beliefs, experiment with new choices, and then take that learning out into your daily life. |
