Service Description

A Lighter Mind Group Seminar is ideal if you’re challenged with brooding, negative, ruminating thoughts, fears and perplexities. This group is for people who have a tendency to beat themselves up, while trying to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, guilt or shame. Overwhelming, excessive rumination can be emotionally debilitating. This 8-hour seminar occurs in 2-hour sessions over the course of 4 weeks. Applying cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and EMDR therapeutic approaches, participants will discover how subconscious mental and emotional habits (e.g., cognitive distortions) cause us to misjudge ourselves and interpret situations, and how psychological defense mechanisms impact us - thereby misguiding our thoughts, feelings, decisions and behaviors. A Lighter Mind is an important component of Traveling Light's process for cognitive restructuring. Techniques are shared to transform mindsets and habits that have not served us well. These evidence-based therapeutic approaches help us to move beyond limitations, and to realize our ability to determine how we will think and act - thereby unburdening us to rise higher with attitudes and actions that are more consistent with our core values.
