019 Project My Life - John Mopper from Blue Print Mental Health
I first met John back in 2005 when we both worked for L.A. Fitness and as the Universe connects like-minded individuals, we met up again at bodhi in Downtown Somerville NJ.
John recently opened up his own practice with his soon to be fiance.
Here's a description from their website: (www.blueprintmentalhealth.com)
Blueprint Mental Health is a boutique mental health practice with locations in both Bridgewater and Somerville, New Jersey. Our Team of clinicians pride themselves in creating a therapeutic environment that is warm and compassionate while challenging the symptoms that are present when struggling with the obstacles of depression, anxiety and personality disorders.
Through Mindfulness and such modalities as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will support you and your family on the journey to find acceptance of yourself and help to overcome any barriers that may be in the way of living the life you wish to lead. Together, we will be The Designers of a Better Tomorrow.
Topics we discussed:
Mindfulness - The ability to become fully aware of the present moment and how it can redirect your mistaken thoughts and or actions. Self Awareness - Having a clear understanding of your own personality traits including strength, weaknesses, thoughts beliefs, emotions, and actions. Cognitive Distortion - Thoughts and or beliefs that cause individuals to perceive reality inaccurately. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) - This style of therapy combines standard cognitive behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and mindful awareness largely derived from Buddhist meditative practice.Links from the show:
