They use a lot of fancy, unnecessary words but to cut to the chase, it means "living in the now". It is believed that people who are mentally ill are living in the past, or living in the future (ie expectations). My past felt a lot better than I feel in the now, so I wonder if she could help me to live in the past? Not sure if they can do that, lol. A time machine maybe.
