Mindfulness Therapy

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judgment. One observes their thoughts and feelings without attaching a good or bad label to them. It’s the mind-body process of noticing, shifting, and rewiring the brain. Learning to master the habit of being more present in each moment creates a mental shift. A mental shift is required to understand change. A mental shift that is required to desire change. A mental shift that is required to accept change.

The client learns to pay more attention to the positive vs the negative while also experiencing greater focus, productivity, and life satisfaction. And as result, the client learns how to manage their own mind.

How does it work?

The practice of mindfulness helps you become more comfortable with the uncomfortable feelings- the feelings we’ve learned to avoid, dismiss, dissociate, and bury deep into our subconscious.  It helps us build a mind-body connection and learn to self-regulate better. There are many ways to practice mindfulness, and many apps offer guided mindfulness exercises. What all of them have you doing is noticing your thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and your surroundings.

Who can it help?

Mindfulness can help the client learn how to identify and manage their emotions; as a result, gain more control over their behavior. Unconscious thoughts and emotions will reveal themselves as the client continues to explore their current experiences and relationships further.

Practicing how to remain focused and present in the moment rather than dwelling on the past or anticipating the future can have some positive results on the body, such as lowering stress levels, reducing harmful ruminating thoughts, improving self-awareness, helping promote personal care, and learning how to control your depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness is a great explorative tool that can be used to explain your anxiety, worries, and fears. It results in you feeling more relaxed, balanced, and happy.
