Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on how thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes affect feelings and behaviours. It is based on the idea that how we think about situations can affect the way we feel and behave. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and typically short-term, aiming to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to their difficulties. It is effective for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and more.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy
EMDR a psychotherapy approach primarily used to treat trauma-related disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The core principle of EMDR involves bilateral stimulation of the brain, which can be achieved through various methods such as eye movements, hand taps, or auditory tones. During an EMDR session, the therapist guides the client to briefly focus on the traumatic memory or distressing thought while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation. This process aims to facilitate the brain's natural healing mechanisms, allowing the individual to process the traumatic experience more effectively.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
CPT is a type of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) specifically designed to treat individuals who have experienced trauma. The primary goal of CPT is to help individuals understand and change the ways they think about their trauma. It focuses on how traumatic events can distort one's beliefs and perceptions about themselves, others, and the world. The therapy typically involves structured sessions where the therapist guides the client through specific exercises and discussions aimed at challenging and restructuring maladaptive thoughts and beliefs.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT's premise is to help individuals develop psychological flexibility — the ability to be present in the moment, fully engage in life, and take action guided by personal values, despite experiencing difficult thoughts, emotions, or sensations. ACT integrates mindfulness techniques with strategies from behaviour therapy to promote psychological flexibility.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
DBT is adapted for use with mental health conditions characterized by emotional dysregulation and difficulty in interpersonal relationships. Dialectical means "the existence of opposites”. The key characteristic of DBT is its dialectical approach, which combines acceptance and change strategies within a framework of dialectics — the integration of opposites. This means balancing acceptance of oneself and the current situation with the need for change and personal growth.
