Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Fort Worth, TX
While life ebbs and flows through times of serenity and times of darkness, we often find ourselves questioning our abilities to cope, think, and even function. Frustration and feelings of inadequacy rush in, which can quickly break down our self-esteem and feelings of worth. People may begin to think, "Why can't I just relax? I used to not be like this. What's wrong with me?". These mood and anxiety obstacles, while disheartening, are common conditions that can be relieved through counseling, where we challenge cognitive distortions and biases we have towards other people, our environment, and ourselves.

Do you hide parts of yourself that make others feel uncomfortable? Do you carry the shame of being judged for your sexuality, addiction, HIV status, or more? These are some of the hardest things to talk about but it’s even harder going through it alone. You deserve a space where you don't have to translate your experience or defend your truth—where someone actually understands what you're going through. If you have never felt safe, accepted, or understood, I feel your pain, because I have been there.

Your childhood may be the cause of today’s behavior patterns and contribute to emotional dysregulation which could include feeling helpless, frustrated, and trapped.

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 therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. 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.
