THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES
Person-Centered Therapy
The therapist's role is to provide an empathetic, supportive and non-judgmental environment, where the client can express their feelings and thoughts freely. Known as Rogerian therapy, it was developed by Dr. Carl Rogers, who believed that people have an innate tendency to grow and fulfill their potential similar to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs triangle. The client is the expert in their life and the therapist becomes the guide through the positive therapeutic relationship that is built between the two of them.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is a talk therapy that explores how your past shapes your present. It is based on Freud's psychoanalytic theory, which says that unconscious conflicts influence your behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Other influential students of Freud's included Dr. Alfred Adler (Adlerian therapy) and Dr. Erik Erikson (Eriksonian therapy). You need to make peace with your past to function well in the present and move forward through the next stages of your life as a well-adjusted individual. Simply put, past + present = future.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Today, CBT is the most common form of talk therapy practiced by most counselors and psychotherapists. It is based on the theory that behavior is the result of negative core beliefs in our past that carry forward and shape who we are and what we believe (negative cognitions). Beliefs, whether positive or negative, influence behavior. If you believe that you will never be good enough, smart enough, worthy of love, then ask yourself "why" and "where" those beliefs come from. CBT aims to modify the old thinking to create new positive cognitions.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness therapy focuses on teaching the client how to live in the present moment. It is not as easy as you may think. Most of us are so busy in this overstimulated world to stop long enough to pay attention to the little things in life such as our own breath. It is an awareness of how you feel, what you feel, and how these feelings affect you. We suffer from a mind-body-spirit disconnect. Have you ever heard of taking time to smell the roses? Think about it. Many of us don't and miss the connection.
Narrative Therapy
What is your story? Narrative therapy is about the stories of our lives and what we tell ourselves and others about us. Through careful examination of where the stories come from, they are deconstructed, demystified, and subsequently reconstructed so the therapist can help empower the client to find their voice and create lasting change. The client becomes the expert in their own life, their own story, not others. Your story is about the truth, not a lie. It should never hold you back from moving forward.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic (body) therapy includes mindfulness, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), breath work, and grounding combined with talk therapy. This theory is based on the beliefs that we hold traumas in our life, inside our body and do not release them either because we do not know how or do not want to and thus leads to illness. Therefore, again, there is a mind-body-spirt disconnect. Somatic therapy aims to realign all three dimensions of our human selves to bring about a peacefulness guided by the therapist.
