Mindfulness Therapy & Counselling
Mindfulness is being aware of internal thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as external surroundings and situations, without automatic responses such as judgment. Mindfulness therapy is a type of talk therapy that focuses on learning how to be more aware and to reduce automatic responses.
Mindfulness, from a therapeutic, secular perspective is a conscious awareness of our present moment. This includes openness and non-judgment about the experience. It is often coupled with other types of therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Mindfulness therapy is not concerned with relaxation, though that might be a result of certain practices. The focus is on increasing our awareness of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that hinder our progress. When we are better able to do that, we can engage with those aspects of ourselves, learn to tweak our language, and choose how to respond.
Mindfulness therapy can be used for:
- Anger management
- Anxiety
- Chronic pain
- Heart disease
- Stress
- Depression
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
- Substance misuse and addiction
- Eating disorders
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
Mindfulness therapy also offers life benefits through improved capacity for relationships, self-confidence and self-control, and even the potential for improved ecological sustainability.
We now know that Mindfulness physically changes the brain to foster not only better attentional regulation (such as one would have when meditating), but also enhanced emotional regulation.
