Personalized Integration
Instead of strict CBT protocol only, we adapt it in ways that fit each person. CBT tools (thought records, behavior change, reframing) are blended with mindfulness, awareness of body/spirit, perhaps existential reflection (meaning, values), and neuroscience‑based understanding.

Mindfulness plus CBT
Because we are mindfulness‑based, we may emphasize not just changing thoughts, but observing them without judgement. Increasing awareness of when certain thought patterns or emotional/behavioral reactions happen, cultivating presence. Mindfulness can help clients notice thoughts earlier, catch distortions sooner, or reduce reactivity. Grounding techniques might also be used in tandem.

Psychoeducation
Teaching about how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. We explain cognitive distortions, help clients identify triggers, and understand the neuroscience of stress/arousal. This may help clients understand how their past experiences might have led to certain belief patterns.

Homework / Practice Outside of Session
Assigning tasks, exercises, journaling, practicing behaviors, and trying new responses in real life. This is standard in CBT and Grounding Root Therapy  includes this in our services.

Addressing Unhelpful Beliefs / Meaning‑Making
Grounding Root Therapy is interested in meaning, existential themes, analytical psychology—helping people not just stop negative thoughts but understand underlying belief systems, values, identity, self‑understanding. CBT may be used to challenge beliefs but also to explore deeper questions of meaning, which often strengthens change and sustainability.

Holistic Components
Considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects – they may pay attention to how thoughts and behaviors are embodied. How stress impacts the body and how spiritual or value dimensions matter. In addition to integrating grounding, mindfulness, coping skills that involve body and senses.
