Getting to know Robert Farra

I’ve been practicing psychotherapy for the past forty years. One of the great joys of my life is working with people who have mood and anxiety disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). CBT is a type of treatment that helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that may be holding them back from reaching their goals. I believe people can change at any point and these changes can greatly enhance their lives. MBCT helps us use the wisdom of our mind and body to help us cope with inevitable stresses of life. Mindfulness helps us increase our awareness about where our thoughts and attention are focused, and to work toward keeping our focus on the present moment. Depression is often related to harshly judging ourselves about things that have happened in the past, and anxiety tends to focus on “worst case scenarios” for the future. In either of these situations, all we are doing is increasing emotional distress over situations that we can’t control, all the while missing the great things that are happening in the present moment. One of the most gratifying experiences I have is, at the completion of treatment, hearing a patient say, “I feel better and I have learned the cognitive and behavioral skills to enjoy my life.
