Metacognitive Therapy is a new way of treating psychological problems. The therapy is a short-term treatment focussing on minimizing certain mental strategies which backfire resulting in symptoms such as anxiety , OCD, PTSD and depression. These strategies primarily consist of overthinking, rumination, threat monitoring and thought-avoidance.
Metacognitive Therapy is recommended, amongst others by the British national health service (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, NICE) as the most effective treatment for generalised anxiety disorder and PTSD. Extensive research supports the recommendation by the British health service.
Dr Pia Callesen’s first book “Live More Think Less” is out worldwide and is apart from English also translated into German, French and even Chinese as well as several other languages.
