Tailored for mental health professionals, this workshop aims to explore the principles of Mindfulness and equip you with basic skills to support therapeutic work.<\/p>\n
In contemporary relational therapy, being present in the here and now and\u00a0mindfully observing our experience is a basic skill that enables us to understand and use Countertransference in the ‘asymmetric mutual therapeutic relationship’ (Maroda 1991, 2010).<\/p>\n
Underpinned by decades of research in neuroscience, contemplative and compassion practices such as mindfulness have been shown effective in the treatment of depression and anxiety, underpinning the\u00a0interplay between our body and brain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mindfulness practice\u00a0facilitates an array of skills such as the focus of attention, holding evenly spread awareness, and the cultivation of compassion, thereby\u00a0maximising our inner resources for coping, healing and growth as well as skills as therapist.<\/p>\n The regular practice of Mindfulness centres around the observation of thoughts, feelings and physical sensations as they arise in the here and now. This witnessing mode enables a non-judgmental way of meeting experience, whereby with compassion habitual and unhelpful thinking patterns (i.e. rumination, overthinking) can be identified and interrupted as well as alternative, less stressful ways of relating to ourselves, others and the world can be explored.<\/p>\n In this workshop we will explore the underpinning principles of mindfulness and discuss basic skills and appropriate application in therapeutic treatment. Using case examples we will consider indications and contra-indications for different presentations.<\/p>\n Designed for newly qualified and seasoned private practitioners and counsellors.<\/p>\n CPD certificate (3 hrs) provided.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n To enquire & book: veronikakloucek@gmail.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n References:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Maroda, K.
