Being there for your kids

Embracing the New

Ya know? Getting unstuck is so hard to do because we are so used to being stuck. Ugh! Today I'm sharing with you my way of using mentalligent psychotherapy to help people make the shift from stuckness to healing. We are all used to the familiar, even when it is unhealthy. Embracing the new involves moving your mindset from the unhealthy, which is familiar to you, to the healthy, which is unfamiliar. With practice, then, the healthy becomes more familiar, your new normal. Check it out. If you are curious, get more from my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life. Blessings, Jon

 

Don't Weigh Yourself Down

Emotional baggage is a reference to the issues that we've endured from our past and that threaten to define who we are in our future. It's time to dump your emotional baggage. Mentalligent psychotherapy is a means of addressing your stress and stuckness, shedding a downward spiraling, and soaring into your future on the upward spiraling of your healing journey. Mentalligent psychotherapy uses three interwoven treatment strategies to help you soar. Mindfulness sets the stage for your journey. Positive psychology changes your focus from what's wrong to what's right. Cognitive behavioral interventions clean up your personal mess and clears you to soar. Check it out.

Grieving is a Normal Mental Health Process

We all experience loss. How we handle it defines it as a blessing or a curse. While we first go to friends and family to make sense of it all, if our grieving and depression linger, we can benefit from psychotherapy. Mentalligent Psychotherapy (MPT) is an excellent resource for you.

Depression can be debilitating. Treatment is available . MPT works!

Mentalligent psychotherapy (MPT) elegantly weaves the treatment strategies of mindfulness, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral interventions into a fabric of healing. Your therapist is your guide on a healing journey. MPT lifts you up from the downward spiraling of depression and promotes ways to maintain upward spiraling.

Make Your What if's into I wonders

What if questions generate anxiety. I wonder statements generate curiosity. When you want to calm down, switch out your what if anxiety into I wonder curiosity. Being curious about your circumstances always has a calming effect. Check it out.

MPT Changes Your Brain

What's going on with you in here is equally important to what's going on out there. Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are generated from adaptive brain functioning. Mentalligent psychotherapy (MPT) is designed to optimize adaptive brain functioning. Here's an example.

Accentuate the Positive

One of the realities of life is that what we focus on grows. Focus on the negative and it grows. Focus on the positive and it will grow. In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I incorporate positive psychology as one of three major treatment interventions, artfully interwoven, to define mentalligent psychotherapy. "Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. That's What it's all about." A cute song back in the day that embraces positive psychology. Check it out.

Mindfulness Made Real

People often dismiss being mindful as psycho-babble. Just talking stuff to sound cool. And yet, if you are in emotional crisis, being weighed down by past experiences and dreading the future, then learning mindfulness can be a part of your lifesaving healing journey of mentalligent psychotherapy (MPT). In my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life, I identify mindfulness as one of three critical treatment strategies of MPT. To avoid the gap if your depressive past and your dreaded future of more of the same, stay in the present. Mind the gap.
