Why Mindfulness ?

 

Mindful psychotherapy fills in the gap between the strictly logical treatment style of "talk" therapies such as the popular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the emotionally and spiritually-expansive style of Carl Gustav Jung’s imaginal depth psychology.  The human heart and mind need both rational and spiritual food.  Mindful psychotherapy includes traditional meditative practices which allow you to witness and accept changing moods and thoughts rather than fighting against them.  This new state of mind is called mindfulness with equanimity, and it facilitates an inward psychological and spiritual journey regardless of problems life’s.  You learn to witness experience rather than being victimized by it. For those suffering from anxiety, mindful psychotherapy provides new clarity of thought and a respite from obsessive and dysfunctional thoughts and feeings. For those suffering from addiction, mindful psychotherapy replaces craving and impulsivity acceptance of life circumstances and tools for managing here-and-now realities. For those who fear the aging process, mindful psychotherapy reframes the passage to time and changes in the body as a wisdom-building experienceto be cherished and enjoyed.
