A Letter From Your Expert
Dear colleague,
I knew that cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness techniques could help my clients heal from conditions like overwhelming anxiety and crippling depression.
But the way I was offering them — as relatively standalone interventions — felt incomplete.
As much as I felt the need for a more grounded and fully rounded approach in my clinical practice, it took my own journey through major depression and chronic illness to reveal to me the full potential of mindful CBT.
Mindfulness has helped my clients move beyond surface-level, autopilot existence, and fundamentally change their relationship with the world and with themselves…
…while CBT’s powerful tools for shifting unhelpful thoughts and modifying ineffective behaviors gave them specific strategies to reduce symptoms and live better.
I found that my clients were better able to accept themselves just as they were… to tolerate difficulty and disappointment… and to find a deeper peace that didn’t depend on their circumstances.
Together, mindfulness and CBT form the head (cognitive), hands (behavioral), and heart (mindfulness) of an integrated approach to living well.
I am excited to share this program with you.
With warm regards,
Seth Gillihan
