ACT/EMDR Therapist & Spiritual Coach
This session is rooted in Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evolution of traditional CBT incorporating mindfulness and psychological flexibility. A key approach within this framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps us relate to our thoughts more openly and adaptively. We begin with the Rain on the Window metaphor. Through reflection and practice, we cultivate the ability to observe thoughts without becoming entangled in them. This journey deepens with a compassionate Letter to My Mind, reminding us to appreciate the mind’s role while affirming that we are more than our thoughts. We finish with a grounding affirmation, empowering us to let go of unnecessary struggles and reconnect with life.
