Caitrin | CBT/ACT workshop provider

(Zoom) Relationship Therapist Ponsonby - Auckland

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help couples learn how to utilise mindfulness techniques to objectively observe thoughts and feelings so they can better communicate these to their partners. ACT teaches couples how to use a non-judgemental approach to conflict resolution. ACT also helps couples identify individual core values and then align some of these values, helping to promote similar goal oriented behaviour.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) helps couples identify negative thinking patterns, communication styles and behaviours that contribute to conflict within the relationship. Identification and alteration of these unhelpful/destructive thoughts, communication patterns and behaviours can lead to a healthier and more peacful relationship. All people hold some negative thoughts about themselves and these thoughts may be subconscious and deeply ingrained. Negative thinking about the self or about relationship norms can have a huge affect on how one behaves within a relationship; hence why its important to identify and adjust any negaitve thinking that is relevant to facets of a relationship. 

In line with providing a safe space, it is important for me to clarify that any information you share with me will remain confidential unless I am concerned for your own safety or the safety of someone else. I will continue to attend workshops/training seminars as I see necessary to meet the needs of my clients.
