Our Approach to Therapy for Chronic Illness Counseling
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy assists with reframing negative, self-defeating thoughts into more rational, positive thoughts to gradually improve mindset and mood.
Brainspotting works by tapping in to the limbic system. The limbic system is a collection of brain structures that contribute to emotions, cognition, long-term memory, motivation, impulse control, and many other psychological factors that can affect well-being.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, especially the components of Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance. These skills help regulate the body’s response to pain and discomfort as well as shift negative thoughts and feelings.
