Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Key Principles


Somatic Experiencing (SE) recognizes that trauma is stored in the body and aims to renegotiate traumatic experiences by helping individuals discharge excess energy and restore a sense of safety and resilience.

Techniques

Techniques in SE may include mindfulness of bodily sensations, gentle movement exercises, and tracking internal sensations to promote self-regulation and healing.


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Key Principles


Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) operates on the premise that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, and by changing our thought patterns, we can change how we feel and act. We aim to help you identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more adaptive beliefs and behaviors.

Techniques

Techniques in CBT may include cognitive restructuring (identifying and challenging cognitive distortions), behavior modification (using behavioral experiments and exposure techniques), and skill-building exercises (developing coping skills and problem-solving strategies).


Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Key Principles

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that emphasizes acceptance of uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with one's values. We use this technique to increase psychological flexibility and promote meaningful behavior change.

Techniques

Techniques in ACT may include mindfulness exercises, values clarification (identifying what matters most in life), cognitive diffusion (learning to observe thoughts without attachment), and committed action (setting and working towards goals)


Existential Therapy

Key Principles

Existential Therapy is a philosophical and experiential approach to therapy that focuses on exploring the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the meaning of life, freedom, responsibility, and death. It aims to help individuals find meaning, purpose, and authenticity in their lives.

Techniques

Techniques in Existential Therapy may include exploring existential themes through dialogue and reflection, confronting existential anxieties and dilemmas, and facilitating personal growth and self-awareness.


Mindfulness-Based Approaches

Key Principles

Mindfulness-based approaches incorporate principles of mindfulness, which involve paying attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. These approaches aim to cultivate greater awareness, acceptance, and compassion towards one's thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

Techniques

Techniques in mindfulness-based approaches may include mindfulness meditation, sound healing, breathing or body scanning and movement practices bringing mindful awareness to everyday activities.
