Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the method most often used in my practice to help people who suffer from thinking disorders. It can be exhausting being our own worst enemy. The point is to pin-point the cycle of thinking, strategically disrupt it, and think of new methods of thought in relation to the same situations or people.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be helpful for addressing problematic thinking patterns that are related to distressing memories or traumatic experiences. It works by helping individuals reprocess and reduce the emotional charge associated with these memories, which can in turn lead to more adaptive and less problematic thinking patterns.
For example, if someone's problematic thinking is linked to a traumatic event, EMDR can assist in desensitizing the emotional impact of that event, making it easier for the individual to develop healthier and more constructive thought processes. While EMDR may not directly target all forms of problematic thinking, it can be a valuable tool when such thinking is rooted in past traumas or distressing memories. It's important to consult with a qualified EMDR therapist to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.
Thinking disorders are greatly helped through neurofeedback to re-set the central nervous system and the brain so that cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnosis can help to reframe negative beliefs-perceptions or actions for greater balance of perceptions.
Our thoughts can be a powerful tool that may be both unhelpful and helpful to our wellbeing. Thoughts are interconnected with our emotions and how we behave. Let us unlock some of these thought patterns together to help you distinguish how it affects you and others. My hope is that you will feel empowered to change your thought processes and build strategies towards positive healthier mindsets.
