First Responders and Wellness
Around 30% of first responders develop behavioral health conditions that can reduce their quality of life while affecting their work. Many of these first responders wish to get back into working conditions so they can continue in their line of duty.
Through experiential therapy, first responders can get back to their best selves and become physically, mentally, and emotionally resilient. It can help these national heroes recover from a variety of mental health issues and get back to work in the best shape possible.
What Is Experiential Therapy?
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on the emotional experience of the patient and helps them to explore, process, and express their emotions. This is done through activities such as art, music, drama, writing, and other exercises.
Experiential therapy is based on the idea that exploring emotions in a specific setting and format can help patients manage their thoughts and feelings better.
There have been numerous studies conducted on the efficacy of experiential therapy in treating a wide range of issues. These studies have shown that this form of therapy can be an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSI, and addiction. It can also help to improve communication and overall well-being.
Meanwhile, research shows that experiential therapy can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Experiential Therapy at Command Post Wellness
Experiential therapy uses activities to allow patients to express and explore their emotions. For example, a patient may be asked to role-play a situation or express their feelings through art and music.
The therapist then helps the patient to process and explore the experience. Through this process, the patient can gain a better understanding of their emotions and learn how to effectively express and manage them.
