Third wave therapies available with Psychological Wellbeing

What are third wave therapies?

“Third wave” cognitive behavioural therapies are a group of emerging approaches to psychotherapy that represent an evolution and extension of traditional cognitive behavioural treatment approaches. Third wave therapies prioritise the holistic promotion of psychological and behavioural processes associated with health and well being over the reduction or elimination of psychological and emotional symptoms, although that typically is a “side-benefit.”

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) aims to help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging people in treatment to be compassionate toward themselves and others. Compassion, both toward the self and toward others, is an emotional response believed by many to be an essential aspect of well being.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and  instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behaviour, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they feel about it. ACT is helpful to treat depression, anxiety, OCD, stress and chronic pain amongst other problems.

Mindfulness 

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy builds upon the principles of behavioural therapy by using techniques such as mindfulness meditation to teach people to consciously pay attention to their thoughts and feelings without placing any judgments upon them. Mindfulness is useful for relieving symptoms of stress, mental health concerns, and physical pain.
