Hakomi is based on the idea that much of our everyday suffering is unnecessary and produced by unconscious beliefs that are no longer relevant, true or necessary.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">The Hakomi method is designed to bring such beliefs into consciousness, gently and efficiently. Once these beliefs are made conscious, they can be examined and modified to provide a more realistic and satisfying way of being. Angela has completed Module IV in Hakomi and is currently working towards certification.</div></div></div></div><h2 class="wss-widget-title" style="color: #a61b42;">Foundational Principles of Hakomi</h2><div class="wss-widget-text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mindfulness </span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">A receptive state that curious and non-judgmental; focused attention on what is happening internally in the present moment.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nonviolence</span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">Deep respect for the integrity, needs, strengths and limits of the other; change without force.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Organicity</span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">Within each person is the natural impulse towards growth and change; we honor the inner wisdom that directs the process of healing and development. </div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mind-Body Holism</span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">The mind, body and spirit are an interwoven whole; the body reflects important information from the whole person.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Unity</span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">We are all equal in worth; we impact one another; ultimately, we are all in this together.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Loving Presence</span> </div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">A calm, open-hearted and attentive state of emotional connection; finding contentment in being with another.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE:</span> For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.hakomiinstitute.com/" target="_blank">http://www.hakomiinstitute.com/</a> and <a href="http://www.hakomicalgary.ca/About.html" target="_blank">http://www.hakomicalgary.ca/About.html</a>. </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8846459779022542220-8897905881278855952?l=angelabardick.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Angela Bardick is a Registered Psychologist.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09969360618252308135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846459779022542220.post-77102902317996624942012-02-28T17:17:00.002-08:002012-02-28T17:17:24.710-08:00<h2 class="wss-widget-title" style="color: #a61b42;">Eye Movement Desensitization &amp; Reprocessing (EMDR)</h2><div class="wss-widget-text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method of psychotherapy that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from many different treatment approaches. Angela has completed EMDR Basic Training (Level II).</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">In the broadest sense, EMDR is intended to alleviate human suffering and assist individuals and human society to fulfill their potential for development while minimizing risks of harm in its application. </div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">For the client, the aim of EMDR treatment is to achieve the most profound and comprehensive treatment effects in the shortest period of time, while maintaining client stability within a balanced family and social system.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">EMDR is an approach to psychotherapy that is comprised of principles, procedures and protocols. It is not a simple technique, characterized primarily by the use of eye movements. </div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">EMDR is founded on the premise that each person has both an innate tendency to move toward health and wholeness, and the inner capacity to achieve it. EMDR is grounded in psychological science and is informed by both psychological theory and research on the brain.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post traumatic stress. However, clinicians also have reported success using EMDR in treatment of the following conditions:</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Eating Disorders &amp; Addictions</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Body Dysmorphic Disorders &amp; Pain Disorders</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Sexual and/or Physical Abuse</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Panic Attacks, Stress Reduction &amp; Performance Anxiety</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Complicated Grief</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Dissociative Disorders &amp; Personality Disorders</div><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">• Disturbing Memories &amp; Phobias</div><br /><div style="text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span>For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.emdrcanada.org/" target="_blank">http://www.emdrcanada.org/</a> and <a href="http://www.emdria.org/" target="_blank">http://www.emdria.org</a>. </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8846459779022542220-7710290231799662494?l=angelabardick.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Angela Bardick is a Registered Psychologist.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09969360618252308135noreply@blogger.com0
