PHILOSOPHY
remaining present
At AwarePsych, we believe the present moment is the cornerstone of mental wellness. The past has concluded; dwelling there often fosters feelings of depression or nostalgia precisely because it's beyond our reach. Similarly, the future remains uncertain and focusing excessively on what is yet to come often produces anxiety and worry. Embracing awareness of the present moment significantly reduces symptoms and suffering connected to both past and future concerns.
Philosophy
Two Paths to Presence
We focus on two primary methods to cultivate present-moment awareness:
-
Mindful Awareness of Thoughts and Emotions:
Gently observing and acknowledging thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering greater mental clarity and emotional stability. -
Body Awareness and Regulation:
Developing sensitivity to bodily sensations (interoception) to naturally balance and regulate the central nervous system, supporting overall emotional resilience.
Integration for Wellness
Combining mindfulness meditation and enhanced body awareness with thoughtful pharmacological management creates a holistic foundation for enduring mental health and resilience. Our integrated approach empowers individuals to actively participate in their wellness journey, resulting in sustainable improvements in overall health.
