Mindfulness for the Real World
We?ve all heard the buzz surrounding the practice of mindfulness. But is it simply a hot trend or an evidence–based approach that can serve the needs of our clients? Discover why mindfulness is not just a passing fad but a robust treatment intervention that can stand-alone or augment another psychotherapy. Mindfulness has been proven to help people live in the moment, decrease suffering, heal from past traumas and loss, regulate emotions, and more. Used in therapy, it increases retention and adherence to the treatment plan. Combining years of clinical practice and emerging mindfulness techniques, Delicia Mclean, PhD, offers practical interventions you can use the next day to help your clients learn to quiet their minds, develop greater body awareness, create balanced and realistic internal dialogue, and break free from the anxiety struggle.
