Mindfulness Effective
2008-05-07 21:09:00 Mindfulness is a very simple concept, but a skill that escapes a lot of people. Simply put, when we are mindful we act as an observer of our minds, our thoughts and feelings, without judging, or holding onto anything. The object is to be completely present in the moment, mostly focused on our senses, our eyes, ears, nose, and skin. Having complete faith in ourselves, we simply accept whatever comes, assuming we have all we need to cope with anything as best we can. Worry and regret becomes a major distraction from being mindful in that it distracts from our attention to what is happening now. Jon Kabat-Zinn's stuff in the right sidebar provides great training material. Mindfulness has wide application in treatment of anxiety, depression, mood regulation as well as crisis stabilization. Now it has been found helpful in managing pain. HealthSkills Weblog Mindfulness meditation has a quieting effect on me. It gives me a peaceful feeling while doing it and I am able to reduce my...

Psychotherapy, Intimacy, and the Sacred
2008-04-26 07:31:00 A GoodTherapy.org Featured Column written by John Rhead, Ph.D. Click here to contact John and/or see her GoodTherapy.org Profile Intimacy refers to being seen or known. One can be seen or known by oneself, by another being (human or otherwise) or by God. Individual psychotherapy usually focuses on knowing oneself better, which is to say becoming more intimate with oneâs self. The usual term for this process is âinsight.â Group psychotherapy addresses being better known by others, which of course results in greater knowing of oneself in the process. This is the place where the term âintimacyâ is most commonly used. Relationships with non-humans in which one comes to be known can be as mundane as a relationship with a pet dog or cat and as elaborate as encounters with spirit guides in all kinds of animal forms while engaging in shamanic journeying. Finally one may experience being known by God, or the Sacred Mystery, through spiritual practices such as prayer and medit...

A recent meta-analysis (Craven & Lee, 2006), based on the partial and preliminary results of one study in 2004, determined that Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy is, âsupported and acceptableâ (p.301).

Secret Shame Contributes to Chronic Depression
2007-11-13 05:04:00 Shame has been a particular interest for me. It has appeared repeatedly as a major barrier in therapy, especially in those for whom therapy has failed in the past. It takes a lot of courage to re-enter therapy after feeling it was previously insufficient. Fortunately, a person returning to therapy after a less than satisfactory experience is significant motivated to try new ideas. Agreeing to therapy is a humbling experience in and of itself. The American culture so values individualism, asking for help is often viewed as a sign of weakness, perhaps more likely by those who need help the most. I have previously written about the pervasiveness of shame in many long term issues I've seen in therapy. It's almost as if the person attempts to punish himself into change. But the misery extends well beyond what is helpful in motivating change into a self-imposed purgatory. Eventually, the person becomes so desperate to escape that they engage in self-destructive compulsive and addictive...

Integrating Psychotherapy and Spirituality
2007-10-29 16:05:00 A GoodTherapy.org Featured Column written by John Rhead, Ph.D. Click here to contact John and/or see his GoodTherapy.org Profile Welcome to this column. I hope it will be interesting and valuable to those who read it, and to me as I write it. Why âintegratingâ psychotherapy and spirituality? This question seems silly to many people for one of two reasons. Some would say it is silly because the two must necessarily be kept separate, like church and state. Others would say it is silly because they are inherently intertwined and donât require any effort on our part to be integrated. I am inclined toward the view that the two are inherently intertwined, but believe that they have been artificially separated by psychology, the discipline that most clearly undergirds most of what we practice in psychotherapy, in its zeal to be scientific. Freudâs disdain for religion didnât help either. Of course there have always been those, like Carl Jung, who have kept alive the perspe...
