Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a type of therapy that focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. It’s a way to improve emotional regulation and develop coping strategies to target specific problems.
Inner Child/Reparenting: The inner child holds our earliest foundational wiring. Without rewiring, we tend to recreate the same painful experiences. Your inner child is the most powerful portal to release past pain, discover self-love, and reclaim your joy. Reparenting is going back to the stage in which the adult was wronged as a child, and tending to that inner child within.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This is an in-depth form of talk therapy based on the theories and principles of psychoanalysis, focused on the patient’s relationship with his or her external world. “Psychodynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the client's present behavior. The goals of psychodynamic therapy are client self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior” (NCBI).
Gestalt therapy: “Gestalt therapy is a client-centered approach to psychotherapy that helps clients focus on the present and understand what is really happening in their lives right now, rather than what they may perceive to be happening based on past experience. Instead of simply talking about past situations, clients are encouraged to experience them, perhaps through re-enactment. Through the gestalt process, clients learn to become more aware of how their own negative thought patterns and behaviors are blocking true self-awareness and making them unhappy.” (Phycology Today).
Somatic Therapy: Somatic therapy studies the relationship between the mind and body in relation to the psychological past. Our bodies store trauma and as human beings we can hold on to and tough out traumas for years, even from childhood, until symptoms manifest. This holding pattern creates instability and stress in our ANS (autonomic nervous system) leading to living from a chronic fight, flight or freeze state (more).
Attachment therapy: an attachment-based approach that looks at the connection between one’s early attachment experiences with primary caregivers, usually with parents, and the ability to develop normally and ultimately form healthy emotional and physical relationships as an adult. It combines attachment theory, (including the identification of attachment styles such as secure, anxious, and avoidant) with an understanding of how these attachment styles get re-enacted in adult life. Attachment-based therapy aims to build or rebuild a trusting, supportive relationship that will help prevent or treat anxiety or depression.
