THERAPY - WHICH?
At HeartForza, I get to know you first by learning about your background and history, then we work together to develop a plan while applying my approaches to help you heal and thrive.
Acceptance & Commitment
A therapeutic approach that is one of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy. It is a blend of acceptance and mindfulness techniques with commitments to make behavioral changes. You learn to be open about your pain, challenges, or struggles (acceptance) and then let them go (commitment).
Therapeutic techniques: mindfulness engagement, values clarification, exposure to difficult emotions, cognitive defusion, and talk therapy
Mindfulness-Based
A therapeutic approach that helps you cultivate a greater awareness of the present moment. By understanding your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations without judgment, you develop tools of understanding yourself and strategies to reduce stress and to gain clarity and calm.
Therapeutic techniques: mindfulness engagement, meditation, journaling, and talk therapy
