Healing Begins with Hope
At Discover Hope, we use effective treatment methods to help you improve your mental health and overall wellbeing. Our therapists can help you establish healthy patterns within your relationship using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), find your source of pain using Brainspotting, or heal individual traumas using techniques derived from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Treatment Methods
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
One of the treatment methods we offer is Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a discipline focused on repairing damaged relationships based on attachment theory. Through the restoring, strengthening, and understanding of attachments, the basis of a healthy long-term relationship can be formed and couples can experience connection in new and powerful ways.
As the name implies, EFT places a high value on emotions and emotional regulation. This method gains much of its effectiveness by helping couples learn how to communicate in a way that their partner can not only understand, but also emotionally receive. From there, couples are able to build and cultivate secure attachments which set the stage for their relationship to thrive.
Treatment Methods
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
The human experience contains a myriad of emotions, but our culture tends to view some emotions in a positive light, while coloring others as “needing to be fixed”. At Discover Hope, we use the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy treatment method to address common things people deal with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and a variety of disorders including eating disorders and OCD.
By first becoming aware of self-talk and emotions, participants in ACT therapy are able to begin accepting those emotions by identifying them as something greater than their thoughts and feelings. This method of therapy allows individuals to consciously choose their values and commit to pursuing those values and growing as a person. ACT is an excellent tool for helping people navigate the turbulent circumstances that life throws their way, while remaining true to the values they’ve accepted as their own.
Treatment Methods
Brainspotting
Our licensed therapists are trained in Brainspotting (BSP), an alternative therapy used to locate points in your visual field that help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. Brainspotting therapy is one of the most effective therapies for changing unhealthy habits, healing trauma and resolving emotional issues. BSP is particularly effective in identifying and healing underlying trauma that contributes to anxiety, depression and other behavioral conditions.
The brainspot is the eye position that connects to the part of the brain that contains the traumatic experience and brings it into awareness where it can be processed and healed. As the brainspot is sustained with mindful attention, the information in the brain is released and the body and mind move towards greater equilibrium. As unconscious memories are brought up into conscious awareness, they can be dealt with and moved into a part of the brain that allows us to move forward in our lives.
