\nAbout
\nNeuroscience research is providing new insight into how psych
otherapeutic techniques may change the brain in healthy ways. Specifically
\, over the past couple of decades there has been an explosion of research
on the neuroscience of mindfulness\, including how mindfulness practices
may help clients better manage and reduce symptoms associated with mental
health conditions such as depression\, anxiety\, trauma\, and addiction. T
he goals of this seminar are to share this research with attendees\, discu
ss how to apply this research to psychotherapy\, and learn ways to practic
e mindfulness effectively and efficiently.
This two-day\, experi ential seminar presents attendees with the most up-to-date neuroscience fi ndings on mindfulness practice\, including which techniques have been show n to change specific areas of the brain for better mental health. Brain-ch anging mindfulness exercises that can help depression\, anxiety\, trauma\, and addiction symptoms will be discussed. Additionally\, most of these te chniques will be practiced during the seminar\, and attendees will be prov ided with detailed instructions and scripts for all techniques taught\, so that they may begin to incorporate these techniques into their practice i mmediately.
\n\n
\nMindfulness practices\, such as meditation\, diaphragmatic
breathing\, or body-based exercises\, are extremely versatile and have be
en shown to be helpful adjuncts to evidence-based psychotherapeutic interv
entions for a wide variety of mental health conditions. Thus\, many mental
health professionals want to incorporate mindfulness practice into psycho
therapy. However\, it is not uncommon for clinicians feel uncertain about
when\, how\, and with whom to use these techniques. Furthermore\, it can b
e unclear which mindfulness methods are likely to be beneficial\, dependin
g on a client'\;s symptoms and presentation. Taking a "\;one size f
its all"\; approach to mindfulness practice can lead treatment noncomp
liance\, inefficiency\, and ineffectiveness\, but quality training on how
to apply mindfulness in clinical practice can be difficult to find. Attend
this experiential seminar to learn the neuroscience of mindfulness and di
scover which mindfulness techniques to use\, at what time\, and with whom\
, and start helping mindfulness practice work better for your clients!
