What is Contemplative psychotherapy?

What is Contemplative psychotherapy? Contemplative psychotherapy is an approach to therapy that integrates principles and practices from contemplative traditions, such as mindfulness meditation and yoga, with Western psychotherapeutic methods. The goal of contemplative psychotherapy is to help individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness, cultivate more meaningful relationships, and find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives.

In contemplative psychotherapy, the therapist works with the client to create a safe and supportive environment in which the client can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The therapist may use various techniques, such as guided meditation, breathing exercises, and body awareness practices, to help the client become more present and grounded in the moment.

Contemplative psychotherapy is based on the idea that many of the problems we experience in life are a result of our habitual patterns of thinking and behavior, which can be transformed through increased self-awareness and the cultivation of more positive qualities such as compassion and wisdom. This approach can be particularly effective for people dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and relationship problems. Shervan K Shahhian
