Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Group Sessions

A DBT skills training group is facilitated by a skilled social worker similar to a class. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely. It’s a common therapy for people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder but can also be provided for other mental health difficulties as well.

Cognitive Processing Therapy

CPT is usually 12-18 group therapy sessions during which individuals will learn about common reactions to trauma, and identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts within the structured therapy sessions. Complete regular out-of-session practice assignments to apply what has been discussed in therapy sessions. PTSD symptoms have been reported to decrease on average within the first 4 sessions.

Trauma Therapy Intensive (Brainspotting or EMDR)

First of its kind in the Cornwall and surrounding area, New Mindset Therapy is now offering Trauma Intensive Therapy. During a Trauma Intensive Therapy experience, the therapist and client typically meet for 4 hours each day over 2 to 5 days. During this time the client has the opportunity to develop/strengthen resources (coping skills) and to reprocess traumatic experiences from the past.

The therapist guides the client through the process using EMDR therapy or Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing, targeting specific traumatic memories or events to process and integrate into the individual’s overall understanding of their experiences.

Whether you’re a busy parent with kids, a working professional with a lot on your plate, or you just want faster results, Trauma Intensive Therapy programming can help you break free from your past so that it no longer stops you from living the life you really want. If you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly therapy treatment model to feel better EMDR or Brainspotting Intensive Therapy is for you.

Critical Incident Support and Debriefing

Critical Incident Support and Debriefing is a “psychological first aid.” CISD is often provided to a group of individuals who’ve experienced a traumatic or life-threatening event. The primary emphasis of the Critical Incident Support and Debriefing is to educate, empower and provide various strategies to best support and to recover from the incident; in the hopes of preventing a lasting negative psychological impact.

The CISD is not a stand-alone process and should be linked and blended with numerous ongoing support services, including but not limited to, pre-incident education, individual crisis intervention, family support services, follow-up services, and referrals for professional care.
