cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

When we experience struggle, often we find that learning to replace distressing thought patterns with truths and learning to manage behavioral responses can offer us the most effective relief. By practicing methods for coping using this approach, we can establish a greater sense of ease in our discomfort and learn to help ourselves remain calm, even in times of high stress.

Mindfulness practice is centered around presence and non-judgment. When we practice mindfulness regularly, we can significantly reduce our discomfort and find more balance.

Additionally, dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) offers us the opportunity to reduce discomfort, by learning to actively accept opposing material in our thought patterns.

A further sign of health is that we don’t become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it’s time to stop struggling and look directly at what’s threatening us.
