生命本該都是完整的,我們帶著完整和單純而來,卻在人生過程中不斷被複雜和同化。所以說,人本身的成長、困難、矛盾都離不開所處的社會文化與族群環境。文化纏足和家庭包袱,是相當常見的困境。而我們的身體,乘載著所有的記憶、情緒、感官體驗、想法、成見、信仰、價值觀和想像,最容易受到恐懼的綑綁而在腦中發展出一套謬誤的自我意識和人際假象。要能夠過一段滿足又豐富的人生,我們必須培養高度覺知,實在地活在當下的生命體裡,照顧自己的身體與心靈,灌溉全然和諧與真實性的苗芽。我身為自台灣來的移民,我更能感受與同理必須在社會文化和人生階段轉折適應的困惑及痛楚,畢竟語言和文化的根深深地影響著人的視野和自我定位。我提供雙語(中文/英文)的心理治療服務,以更貼近個案的心理價值需求,強化在社群經驗中掙扎的個體,重新拾得療癒與成長的能量,認可彼此的獨特性。

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking.

This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
