Mindfulness is a powerful tool that can both enhance your skills as a therapist and restore and expand your sense of self and well-being. Offered by CHI for the first time, this training will help you develop embodied self-awareness and emotional resilience while, at the same time, build a capacity for regulating anxiety and stress, intense affects, uncertainty and change.
The broad range of skills you will learn at this training can help reduce emotional pain and expand your capacity to experience pleasure.
Both conceptual and experiential, Mindfulness for Therapists will enhance your effectiveness as a therapist, regardless of your theoretical framework or therapeutic modality. Specifically, you will gain:
- The ability to concentrate, focus and be in the present moment
- The ability to hold powerful affects, self-regulate and reduce anxiety
- The ability to attend and notice your internal reactions, particularly to clients
- The ability to be present in an open, non-judgmental, and compassionate way toward both self and other
- The ability to tolerate and sit with "not-knowing", uncertainty, confusion, paradox and change
- The ability to clarify and transform internal conflicts
Note: There is no pre-requisite necessary for this training.
