Mindfulness Stress Reduction
Stopping and tuning into our inner processes is a powerful tool in the reduction of stress and anxiety.
If we don’t see the here and now we are often not in control of it.
I use mindfulness techniques where appropriate to challenge fixed beliefs and to counter depression and anxiety and stress. It builds upon kindness and acceptance of self; it allows us to move away from fighting and striving in life and in therapy. Often we spend time battling against things that are out of our control that we are not going to change.
Mindfulness is similar in some ways to other cognitive therapies; it looks at ways of seeing and suggests how change might be useful. It is about being in the present and living fully now – rather than holding onto past unhappiness or ignoring the present and giving all our focus to the future.
