EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of psychotherapy designed to take a holistic approach to recovery from traumatic and distressing events. EMDR uses a client centered approach, which allows the client and therapist to work collaboratively on lessening the pain and emotional charge brought on by memories and new experiences of trauma.
DBT
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a form of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) based on balancing change and acceptance. DBT does this through teaching new skills that can change the way people behave, while at the same time accepting that we are doing the best we can right now. DBT has four basic modules (and skills components): Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Mindfulness.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of being aware, in the present moment, without judgment. The practice of noticing and being curious about our thoughts and feelings can help develop insight into our behavior. This insight helps us develop awareness and can lead to changes that support our goals and enhance our relationships with others and ourselves.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of therapy based on behavior analysis. The basic concept of ACT is that humans have come to believe that happiness is our default so we spend lots of time and energy avoiding or pushing down anything unpleasant or distressing. In ACT you will learn to accept that uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and actions happen and we can make room for that while still working towards our goals and values.
