IntegrativeMindfulnessBasedTherapy

The purpose of mental therapy is to provide a patient with the means and tools that he/she needs to apply in day-to-day life in order to bring about a positive change. There are 168 hours in a week and therapy session sitting is usually once a week. That means for the remaining 167 hours, a patient is on his own.  This is the time he/she needs to apply what has been learned during the therapy sessions with the counsellor.

A family is where our roots are, a family is from where it all starts!  A family is a place from where we learn our very first life lessons. Whether a kinship or a guardian family, it influences every small or big aspect of our lives. Our habits, rituals, interactions and the way we perceive the world outside is learned with and from them. Schools and communities come much later; it’s the family that conditions and shapes us from the very beginning. If we are brought up in a happy and healthy family atmosphere, it is bound to reflect in our interactions and how we ultimately shape up. Children brought up under healthy atmospheres grow up to be the adults who forge healthy and sound relationships. On the flip side, if one is brought up a dysfunctional family, there will always be struggle involved while trusting and connecting with the outside world. Though the latter indeed is an unfortunate situation, it can be worked upon and set right with the inclusion of an ...

It is good to be neurotic in healthy amounts. It has always kept us safe and helped us in strategising for unfortunate outcomes. But too much of it always activates our brain to get into flight or fight mode. While you cannot physically fight work stress, you need to strengthen your mind to punch anxiety to the core. Worrying about something is good till the time it helps you to think about possible solutions and springs you to action. Endless worrying loops you into anxiety and in many cases, anxiety becomes chronic. And that can only spiral down to mania. We also know that there are times where you would want to scream and run away from a scene and wouldn’t care if anyone bothers or not. Anxiety leads us to reckless behaviour even if that anxiety was supposed to keep us away from it. So yes, it is not healthy. Be a warrior, not a worrier.  Anxiety stems from sending your brain on autopilot and let it run on steroids, screening bad possible instances and outcomes that can happ...

The first and the foremost thing that ensures that a human being lives a long, happy life is the condition of their heart and mind. The heart, in a technical sense, does not do the thinking part but is used metaphorically to state one’s emotional condition. Brain does all the thinking, even the stressful ones. The heart takes the brunt along with the brain. And now you see the picture of a well-being collapsing to the ground in a heart-broken stage. There are times when stress does enter a relationship. All you need to focus is on enduring it and finding the best solution for it. There are many things that can cause you emotional stress in your relationship. We will talk about a few that will paint the picture. If you relate to any of these and are unable to cope up with it, you can make an appointment with a stress therapist.
