This first session is about welcoming you into the space. We'll give you an introduction to mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy. You’ll meet the rest of the group and the therapist and set your intentions for the course.
Have you struggled with anxiety or depression? Have you had thoughts that you felt unable to control? The therapist will explain more about that and give you some exercises and different ways to managing difficult thoughts.
This session is all about improving your sense of self esteem. We’ll talk about identity, and what it means to us. As LGBTQIA+ people, we experience stigma about elements of our identity, this is a supportive space to explore that.
Learning how to have healthy relationships: romantic, friends, colleagues is so important. In this session we’ll explore healthy boundaries, and what relationships mean to us.
Together let’s explore how you can let go of difficult thoughts and feelings in your life. You’ll learn mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy techniques to help you.
Now you have a tool box of mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy exercises. This session is about understanding how to use them in the future.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Mindfulness meditation involves sitting silently and paying attention to thoughts, sounds, the sensations of breathing or parts of the body, bringing your attention back whenever the mind starts to wander.
The Kalda model is built on evidence, and developed with LGBTQIA+ therapists. We empower you through mindfulness techniques and cognitive behavioural therapy. Most of all, we give you space to share and give support with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Through daily reflection questions Kaldan’s are encouraged to reflect and journal. These techniques are proven to build resilience..
During our group sessions Kaldan’s have an opportunity to learn the latest cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques.
Kalda is built on peer support: people have the opportunity to share within group sessions and within the Kalda community.
Through sharing and listening to others Kaldan’s support other’s in their own community.
