Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that involves recalling distressing memories and re-experiencing them in a controlled way. The brain’s information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.

EMDR therapy is an eight-phase treatment. Eye movements (or other bilateral stimulation) are used during one part of the session. After the clinician has determined which memory to target first, the client is asked to hold different aspects of that event or thought in mind and to use their eyes to track the therapist’s hand as it moves back and forth across the client’s field of vision. As this happens, internal associations arise and the clients begin to process the memory and disturbing feelings. In successful EMDR therapy, the meaning of painful events is transformed on an emotional level and creates a cognitive shift. This process helps people with PTSD deal with their traumatic pasts by reducing their emotional impact on daily life. Dealing with your pain and hurt can help you to make the necessary changes you desire.

Hypnosis is a trance-like state. It's not sleep, but it's also not something that you can just snap out of. It's similar to meditation in that way - you're calm and relaxed, but you're still very much aware of what is happening around you.

People often confuse hypnosis with mind control or being put under someone else's power (which is why we use terms like "guided imagery" instead of "hypnotic induction"). But there are no magical powers involved here! A therapist who uses hypnosis will help guide the client through their own imagination in order to achieve specific goals such as pain management or reducing anxiety levels related to phobias or panic attacks.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to help you identify and explore the ways your emotions and thoughts can affect your actions. Once you notice these patterns, you can begin learning how to change your behaviours and develop new coping strategies.

CBT is based on several core principles, including:

• Psychological issues are partly based on problematic or unhelpful patterns of thinking.

• Psychological issues are partly based on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.

• Psychological issues are partly based on problematic core beliefs, including central ideas about yourself and the world.

• People experiencing psychological issues can learn better ways of coping with them. This can help relieve their symptoms and improve their mental and emotional health.

During CBT, a mental health professional helps you take a close look at your thoughts and emotions. You’ll come to understand how your thoughts affect your actions. Through CBT, you can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits. Using a question-and-answer format, your therapist helps you gain a different perspective.

Psychodynamic therapy (PDT) is a form of talk therapy. It is based on the idea that talking to a professional about problems people are facing can help them find relief and reach solutions. PDT's basis states deriving insights from childhood can give patients insights about their current problems to help them achieve a higher quality of life.

In any type of psychotherapy, the relationship between the patient and therapist is important, but especially in PDT. Psychodynamic therapy's success relies heavily on trust, since the topics discussed during sessions are often sensitive or traumatic. Changing old patterns and healing resurfacing wounds can have profound effects on your life. Dealing with your pain and hurt can help you to make the necessary changes you desire.

PDT can be compared to other popular forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Both aim to help patients increase their self-awareness and gain more control over their own mental health, however PDT puts a higher emphasis on unpacking how past traumas affect current emotions.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely. The key difference between CBT and DBT lies in the concept of validation and relationships. DBT teaches that our experiences are real/valid and to accept them as such. It also informs us that we must make positive changes if we wish to have a healthy relationship with the ever-changing, and often-challenging world around us.

DBT works towards reducing one’s emotional distress that negatively impacts their wellbeing and the way they interact with their surroundings. More specifically, DBT focuses on skills training and includes mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented approach for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioural change. SFBT doesn’t require a deep dive into your childhood and the ways in which your past has influenced your present. Instead, it will root your sessions firmly in the present while working toward a future in which your current problems have less of an impact on your life.

The word “brief” in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is key. The goal of SFBT is to minimize time spent in therapy and time spent struggling by finding and implementing a solution to the problem or problems as soon as possible. SFBT is committed to finding realistic, workable solutions for clients as quickly as possible and the efficacy of this treatment has influenced its spread around the world and use in multiple contexts.

To be mindful is to observe and label thoughts, feelings, and sensations in the body in an objective manner. Mindfulness can be a tool to avoid self-criticism and judgment while identifying and managing difficult emotions. Mindfulness therapy is not concerned with relaxation, though that might be a result of certain practices. The focus is on increasing our awareness of the thoughts, feelings, and actions that hinder our progress.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), is a modified form of cognitive therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices that include present moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises. Using these tools, the mindfulness-based therapist teaches a client to be in the here and now as well as break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state.
