Mindfulness
Mindfulness Therapy Ottawa
Mindfulness is the ability to be aware of present thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and the surrounding environment and label them from an objective viewpoint, without judgment.
A psychologist can help guide you through mindfulness practices in your sessions and provide techniques to practice this at home as well.
