Mindfulness
Accepting the present moment without judgement
"Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it." – Tara Brach
Mindfulness Therapy in Colorado
Mindfulness-based psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that integrates the principles of mindfulness meditation with traditional psychotherapeutic techniques. At its core, it involves cultivating an awareness of the present moment in a non-judgmental and accepting way. This practice helps individuals observe their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without immediately reacting to them, fostering greater emotional regulation and self-understanding. By developing this mindful awareness, clients can break free from habitual negative patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
What to Expect: The process usually begins with teaching you mindfulness skills such as meditation, breathing exercises, and mindful observation. I’ll help guide you in how to apply these skills in daily life, especially when facing difficult emotions or situations.
Why it Works: Over time, mindfulness-based psychotherapy encourages a shift in perspective and rewires the brain, therefore allowing you to respond to experiences more thoughtfully rather than automatically. This approach supports lasting change by promoting acceptance, reducing reactivity, and enhancing overall psychological resilience.
