Some of our Specialties
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured short-term method (8 to 20 times), originally developed for couples therapy, based on attachment science, developed in the 1980s. The EFT intervention integrates an experiential method focused on being human to reconstruct emotional experience and a systematic structural method to reconstruct interaction. There have been a large number of studies on the efficacy of EFT. This study shows that over time, the effect of treatment is great and the results are stable. EFT has been used successfully by many different types of couples in private clinics, college training centers, and hospital clinics. The preliminary study is for couples suffering from depression, trauma-induced anxiety, medical illness, and difficulty forgiving. EFT is used for different cultural groups and educational levels in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa, and Asia. It is used for both traditional and non-traditional couples, including same-sex couples.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a psychotherapeutic model that views the human psyche as a complex system composed of distinct inner parts, each with its unique emotions, intentions, and roles. At the core of IFS is the concept of the "Self," representing an individual's calm, compassionate, and integrated center. IFS therapists guide clients in identifying and understanding their inner parts, addressing emotional conflicts, and fostering cooperation among these parts. By doing so, individuals can heal emotional wounds, enhance self-awareness, reduce symptoms of distress, and ultimately achieve self-leadership, promoting personal growth, emotional balance, and well-being.
The Instant Sign Of A Cheating Partner
Watch the eyes for this sign that a partner is 50% more likely to cheat on you. Partners who spend a fraction of a second longer looking at other people they find attractive are 50% more likely to cheat, psychological research finds. The marriages of those who can’t keep their eyes in their heads are also more likely to fail. Other signs of infidelity were hidden in couple’s appearance and dating history. Less attractive women were more likely to be unfaithful, it emerged. Among men, those that reported more short-term
The Importance of Body Positivity
Body positivity is a movement started by the idea that all human beings, regardless of their size, should feel good about themselves. Body positive advocates encourage others to celebrate their bodies and accept themselves the way they are, instead of trying to squeeze themselves into a physical mold that society has deemed “attractive.” But is […]
Two Personal Qualities More Vital To Success Than IQ That Most People Don’t Know
Here are two trainable personal qualities which predict success four times more than intelligence. Being open to experience and conscientious is four times more important than intelligence in predicting academic success, a new research review finds. People who are open to experience are more likely to be imaginative, sensitive to their feelings, intellectually curious and seekers of variety. Conscientious people, meanwhile, are disciplined, dutiful and good at planning ahead. Dr Arthur Poropat, the study’s author and an expert on personality and performance, thinks the current emphasis on intelligence is misplaced:
Depression Reduced By This Ancient Method
People in the study were suffering from a major depressive disorder. Yoga and deep breathing classes twice a week are effective treatments for depression, new research finds. They could be used as alternatives to drugs or in addition to them, the researchers suggest. The type of yoga used in the study is named after B. K. S. Iyengar. It is a form of Hatha yoga and focuses on being precise in the postures and the control of the breathing. For the study, 30 people were given yoga classes and told
Violent Narcissists Raised By Parents Who Do These 3 Things
How parents raise narcissistic children. A permissive upbringing is one way parents raise narcissistic children, research finds. Two other important factors are lack of affection from parents and exposure to violence in the home. The conclusions come from a Spanish study of 591 adolescents. Narcissistic children were likely to be aggressive towards parents when they didn’t get what they wanted. Dr Esther Calvete, the study’s first author, said: “On occasions adolescents assault their parents because the parents themselves have been violent towards the children or among themselves. Through exposure to
These Parenting Behaviours Cut Suicide Risk 7 Times
Missing out these simple parenting behaviours increases suicide risk in adolescents. Children who are not shown by their parents that they care are significantly more likely to contemplate suicide, research shows. The study’s authors identified three behaviours which, when lacking, were linked to suicidal thoughts in adolescence: Telling the child they are proud of them. Telling the child they have done a good job. Helping them with their homework. Adolescents who were rarely or never told by their parents they were proud of them were five times more likely to
Counseling for New Mothers
For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.” For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening. Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective? If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve. When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
