Mindfulness is at the cutting edge of psychotherapy practice, recognized as the third wave of cognitive behavioral therapy. It is also a foundational element of humanistic-existential approaches to living a full and meaningful life. With its roots in Eastern wisdom traditions, mindfulness helps patients and clients, and clinicians themselves, implement stress reduction in the service of physiological, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. This webinar will describe the four major psychotherapeutic interventions associated with mindfulness, as well as define and describe the meditative basis on which they are based. Attendees will be introduced to approaches to enhance their own presence in the therapy room as professional clinicians, as well as become familiarized with mindfulness interventions they can share with patients and clients.
