🧗‍♀️ Bouldering for the Mind

At the recent EABCT Conference in Glasgow, Chris had the privilege of serving as discussant at a fascinating symposium led by Dr Steve Moorhead, exploring the mental health benefits of Bouldering Psychotherapy (BPT) — a form of climbing that’s as much about mindset as muscle.

Bouldering encourages individuals to approach challenges step-by-step, tolerate uncertainty, and build confidence... core principles in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Emerging research shows BPT can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, with effects comparable to traditional CBT. It promotes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and self-efficacy ...all while engaging the body.

This month’s featured worksheet draws on the same metaphor: a visual “climbing wall” to help you map and tackle real-life problems, one hold at a time.

Feeling anxious about going to the dentist? You’re not alone, dental fear is one of the most common phobias, affecting up to half of all adults.
