Mindfulness Training for Clinicians
Clinical research now confirms what eastern medicine has known for thousands of years: Mindfulness can help our clients regulate their nervous systems, integrate past traumas held in their bodies, and find healing. This three-day* training will take your mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions to the next level by giving you a set of simple, effective mind-body tools you can use with your clients. You’ll learn safe and practical ways to guide your clients through accessing and releasing the emotions, thoughts, and memories that are stored in their bodies. This training is both experiential and educational, designed to give you a direct experience of the healing potential these practices offer, so that you can best integrate them into your clinical practice.
*This training is typically offered in three full days, but can be adapted to fit your needs. Rates are dependent on training length, location, and number of attendees.
