What is Core Process Psychotherapy?

A mindfulness-based approach to psychotherapy that emphasises a deep, ongoing awareness of one’s body and mental processes for self-exploration and healing. Therapy is often viewed as a joint undertaking in which the therapist accompanies the individual on a journey into the deepest levels of his or her experiences.

The therapist serves as a facilitator, helping the individual focus attention inward and become aware of what he or she is experiencing in the present moment. Through this contemplative self-study, individuals may discover the historical roots of their problems and achieve a clearer sense of who they are. As they process this information in the present, they will gradually begin to let go of old habits and approach life with greater creativity and flexibility.
