Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness means paying attention on purpose, to the present moment, without judging it. Your mind will wander. Noticing that and coming back is the exercise. You have not failed by wandering.

Mindfulness is among the approaches Tatiana draws on. For someone with anxiety, anger, or racing thoughts, it can open a small gap between what happens and what you do next.

Mindfulness does not have to mean a silent room, a blank mind, or a long meditation session. You may be curious about noticing an ordinary experience more deliberately, such as the moment you realize you have been rushing or the way you respond to an interruption. At the same time, not every attention exercise feels useful to every person. Ask how practices would be chosen, adapted, and discussed if they feel uncomfortable. Your questions about the purpose and fit of an exercise matter. This page introduces an approach; it is not a prescription to begin a particular practice on your own.

You may want to ask whether the work involves formal meditation, brief attention exercises, discussion, or another format. Describe any prior experience that affects your interest or hesitation. An exercise that feels helpful in one setting may not feel suitable in another, so ask how that feedback is handled. The goal of a consultation is to understand the offered approach and your options, not to prove that you can concentrate or become calm on command.
