Psychotherapy in North London
Core Process Psychotherapy and Individual Psychotherapy in North London; Golders Green and Stoke Newington. A Humanistic Approach in Developing Awareness in Personal, Interpersonal and Transpersonal Processes
Buddhism and the mind
We all yearn for recognition, acceptance and acknowledgement of what we do and who we are. These basic needs are often not met. In developing awareness at how we position ourselves in the world in the present, we can begin to have a sense of what we can do to shift our feelings of being stuck in our internal landscape.
Through developing awareness of mind and body, we can change our experience of how we relate to ourselves and to the world.
Core Process Psychotherapy is based on a wholistic and in-depth understanding of human potential. The 'Core' is that unconditioned state inherent in all of us, a state that is potentially present in every moment. Core Process is the energetic movement from this inherent awareness or unconditioned state to the way we develop our personality and the shape of who we are.
We can come into this inherent awareness and begin to feel our potential to trust and change.
In relation to other contemporary psychotherapeutic approaches, Core Process Psychotherapy is humanistic, integrative, transpersonal and psychospiritual. There are also strong existential aspects in the exploration of the therapeutic process. The therapeutic process involves looking at the individual's development history, the potential of existential awakening and the realisation of the essential integrity of our Core. This process of psychological reflection is held within contemplative awareness of the wider nature of the true essence of our Being. The Core Process approach is seen as a wider form of Buddhist Psychotherapy.
Group Work and Workshops
There are two other ways in which clients may choose to explore developing awareness around their issues and difficulties. One is by working in small groups which can bring about an embodied understanding of self and other. The second way is to attend a Introductory Workshop. These workshops offer an opportunity to look at how we can hold our personal and interpersonal processes through the mindful practices of being present and reflective. These workshops are offered as CPD programmes and also to those interested in training as a Core Process Psychotherapist with the Karuna Institute.
