What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?<\/strong><\/p>

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and influence your overall well-being.<\/p>

Thoughts \u2192 Emotions \u2192 Behaviors<\/strong>
This is the most commonly known pattern in CBT. Our thoughts\u2014especially automatic thoughts and interpretations\u2014can trigger specific emotional responses. For example, self-critical thoughts may lead to sadness, anxiety, or low self-esteem, which can then influence behavior such as avoidance.<\/p>

Emotions \u2192 Thoughts \u2192 Behaviors<\/strong>
Emotions also shape how we think and interpret situations. Intense emotional states can bias perception. For instance, anxiety may lead you to interpret neutral situations as threatening, reinforcing worry and avoidance behaviors.<\/p>

CBT offers a practical and collaborative framework to identify and modify these patterns, promoting emotional balance and well-being.<\/p>

What are third-wave therapies?<\/strong><\/p>

Third-wave therapies evolved from CBT, expanding its focus beyond symptom reduction to include awareness, acceptance, and alignment with personal values.<\/p>

Third-wave therapies in my clinical practice<\/strong><\/p>

\u2013 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
\u2013 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
\u2013 Behavioral Activation (BA)
\u2013 Positive Psychology<\/p>

Trauma-focused intervention<\/strong><\/p>

\u2013 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)<\/p>

Why Mindfulness in Psychotherapy?<\/strong><\/p>

Mindfulness helps develop awareness of the present moment and of automatic thought patterns contributing to emotional distress.<\/p>

It allows individuals to respond more consciously and adaptively rather than react automatically, while fostering self-acceptance and compassion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
