A mindfulness based model for traumatically bereaved individuals discovered by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore. This model encompasses a series of supportive therapeutic actions that help increase emotional tolerance and alleviate symptoms while honoring the deceased. The belief is that healing can only begin with a strong therapeutic relationship, being present and bearing witness to the griever and their pain. This is the primary intervention and most frequently used treatment offered at North Valley Center for Hope.
This evidenced-based approach embraces the client as the expert in their own lives and personal experiences. By being within a supportive atmosphere, the client's strengths are identified and needs supported. This approach is non-directive so the client can naturally self motivate with therapeutic support. This in turn encourages opportunities for growth as well as deep meaning and purpose. Otherwise known as Rogerian Therapy in the 1940's, this approach is very helpful to those experiencing life transitions.
This is used to help modify unhelpful patterns in thinking which often result in unwanted behavior. When working on grief and loss, some TF-CBT techniques can assist the client with reconstructing meaning about the death and feelings of guilt now in the absence of their loved one. Symptoms such as emotional numbness, sleep disturbances and recurring thoughts about the traumatic experience can be significantly reduced. TF-CBT is found to be extremely helpful in reducing anxiety, panic attacks and with mild depression. TF-CBT often uses practices such as homework, skills activities and exercises that can be applied to situations the client encounters in their daily life.
This method is used to help survivors of trauma make sense of their experiences, while also acting as a form of exposure to difficult memories. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to help them reshape and retell the stories of their lives into more healthy ways of thinking. This approach can be very helpful when working through complex issues like traumatic grief, complex trauma and life transitions that encompass anxiety and stress.
The goals of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship. This method is effective with all couples on the brink of stress or just wanting to enhance their relationship.
