Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you become more flexible in your thinking process so that you can more easily deal with pain, stress, depression, anxiety, paranoia, and negative thoughts. Its emphasis is on solving problems, allowing you to engage in positive actions and gain a renewed attitude toward any physical or emotional challenges. ACT builds awareness and acceptance so you can cope with stressors in healthy ways. It allows you to embrace how you feel and adapt to your circumstances.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of therapy that teaches you how to unite the divided parts of your inner self. These parts take on specific roles when you’re dealing with serious emotional pain or trauma — they’re just like a family whose members have different responses to certain challenges, which can manifest in negative behaviors. When you can learn how to identify and reunite the parts of your self, you can experience more relief and a more harmonious sense of being.
Emotion Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) takes a look at the role of emotion in your experience of life and mental state. Transforming emotion can lead to greater self-expression, personal acceptance, and emotional regulation, which are all critical to your overall well-being and ability to handle challenges with resilience. This therapy involves seeing emotion as purposeful, motivational, and inherent in mental paradigm shifts and behavorial changes. Understanding emotion can be transformative and help you experience personal breakthroughs.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is based on brain science, and it uses your brain’s natural mode of processing and putting away information to resolve trauma. When you experience the rapid eye movement (REM) phase of sleep, your brain is closing loops and archiving information. EMDR mimics this through the use of bilateral stimulation, such as tapping or audio tones, to stimulate side-to-side eye movements as a therapist guides you through the resolution of your traumatic experience.
