This Very Moment: Mindfulness in Psychotherapy

For psychotherapists, human-service professionals, and other psychologically minded people interested in personal development.

Mindfulness has been successfully practiced for more than 2,500 years and is a deceptively simple way of relating to experience to alleviate human suffering. Recently, mental-health professionals are discovering that mindfulness holds great promise for their own personal development, as a way to enhance therapeutic relationships, and as a useful intervention for a variety of psychological difficulties. In this workshop, you learn

• How to practice mindfulness inside and outside the clinical hour
• Guidelines for tailoring mindfulness techniques to different individuals and conditions
• How to use mindfulness to augment cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and systemic treatment
• A step-by-step, mindfulness-based program for working with anxiety, chronic pain, and stress-related medical disorders
• Ways to deal with the obstacles and challenges that arise when working with emotional difficulties in yourself and others.

Psychotherapists, human-service professionals, and other psychologically minded people interested in personal development are all welcome to attend.
