Healing Treatments

Mindfulness is a mental state achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting all your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.  Cognitive mindfulness is an approach based on a combination of psycho-therapeutic cognitive behavioral therapy methods and meditative practices. It was originally created to be a relapse-prevention treatment for individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). Nowadays it is used for a wide variety of mental and physical discomforts like anxiety, mood swings and burnouts.

We have always learned to man up and wipe our tears by the people in our lives that were meant to support and love us unconditionally. Suppressing emotions is an extremely unhealthy habit, but it's often the only thing we know.

Unreleased emotions add up over the years and can cause a lot of anger, sadness and frustration. With MER Therapy, which stands for Mental Emotional Release Therapy, you visit specific times during your life, or unexplained reoccurring feelings whilst being in a safe environment. We speak about your thoughts and observations in a meditative-like state. You will be guided to fully feel the feelings that come up and to release them without judgement. A deep calm feeling and laughter are often experienced after the session. Suppressed memories and emotions may still come up in the days after.

 Guided meditation is a process in which you meditate in response to the guidance provided by the therapist. People often find it hard to 'meditate' by themselves. And even though there is no wrong or right way to meditate (just many different ways to do it), it can help to have someone to guide you and keep you in the 'here and now'. 

Many feelings can come up during meditation, and it's important to acknowledge them, so you can let them go. Often people think that meditation is about 'not thinking about anything', but the opposite is true. Many thoughts you love and plenty you rather not have, may come up. Meditation is there to create more space in between those thoughts and to enjoy the ones you love a little more, whilst adding a little less weight to the unpleasant ones. It teaches you to be aware of your thoughts and emotions, and to accept them just the way they are. Your thoughts are just thoughts, they do not define you.
