Workshop Description:
Mindfulness is an attribute of consciousness long believed to promote insight and well-being. Mindfulness is a deceptively simple way of relating to experience that can reduce suffering (depression, anxiety, pain) and set the stage for positive personal transformation. The practice and teaching of mindfulness has been transforming the practice of psychology fo rsome time now. The practice of mindfulness is a central part of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Hakomi, and other therapeutic models and techniques. This class is for psychotherapists who either are new to the concept of mindfulness or those who want to refresh and extend their knowledge while also being given an opportunity to practice in this training. We will review definitions, instructions on how to be mindful, health benefits, and practice a few mindfulness exercises. Please join us.
