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.
Thinking disorders can impact individuals in different ways by causing disorganized thinking and affecting one's thoughts, perceptions and behaviours. I offer my clients a confidential and welcoming environment where they feel at ease when sharing their thoughts and feelings. My therapy approach focuses on working together to develop strategies and techniques suited to your needs. For further information, please feel free to contact me and receive a prompt reply.
I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to treat thinking disorders. CBT will allow us to work together to identify your negative or unhelpful thinking, better understand your emotions and physical sensations associated with the thoughts, and better understand the behaviour that resulted from the thoughts. When we can understand thinking patterns that are unhelpful, we can work to change them. CBT for thinking disorders is a structured form of therapy that will require your active participation and willingness to work on therapy related tasks during the week.
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.
