Developing intuition means preparing to trust yourself. You’ll learn to listen to the signals your body sends, use a body scanning exercise to read yourself and others, determine whether you’re an intuitive empath and learn to remember and interpret dreams. By developing intuition you’ll have the tools to trust yourself and make transformative decisions.

DBT is designed primarily to treat clients with borderline personality disorder. In recent years, DBT has also proven effective for mood disorders, eating disorders and treatment for depression. DBT combines standard cognitive behavioural techniques with the concepts of acceptance and mindful awareness. DBT is used to regulate emotions and help clients to better tolerate emotional distress. Clients learn more effective alternatives and coping skills by understanding what behaviours are damaging, self-sabotaging, counterproductive or destructive and how to replace them with healthy habits and adaptive coping mechanisms.
The goal of DBT is to reduce impulsive behaviour, inappropriate anger, emotional outbursts, rage, anxiety, addictive behaviours and destructive habits. DBT helps clients utilise effective coping skills to deal with patterns of unstable, intense and volatile interpersonal relationships. Through the use of DBT techniques, clients will be able to improve social functioning and develop the skills necessary to deal with life issues by incorporating a more positive attitude and adaptive skills to enjoy more satisfying relationships.

DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal skills and distress tolerance. It involves intensive individual therapy often accompanied by inpatient treatment and group therapy based on individual needs for the level of care.

When it comes to getting started with mindfulness, the most important thing is to actually understand what it means. Mindfulness means awareness. It is also a practice where you intentionally pay attention to the present moment while putting aside your programmed biases. This allows you to break free from old patterns that no longer serve you and open up to the possibilities of life.

Mindfulness techniques allow us to stand behind the waterfall of emotions and watch peacefully, from a safe distance, without getting swept away.

Mindfulness practices help you better connect to and relate to yourself so that you can better connect to and relate to others.

In the Psychotherapy practice, mindfulness practices are used in individual therapy sessions with clients as an integrated, holistic treatment approach. Combining mindfulness and meditation with traditional psychotherapy modalities can help enhance the healing process. These supplemental practices can bring you even greater emotional relief and equip you with a set of tools to carry with you at all times.
