4.5 CE hours

Discover how mindfulness can be a powerful adjunct to the practice of psychotherapy. Whether practiced personally by the therapist or used as an intervention in session, mindfulness can benefit the quality of our work with our clients.

The practice of mindfulness provides a way of living that can help people develop self-awareness, access and process emotion effectively, reduce reactivity to thoughts and urges, and open to internal compassion and intuition. Research shows significant reductions in anxiety, depression, and stress-related physical symptoms for those who practice mindfulness.

In this course, we will learn about the basic concepts of mindfulness, practice mindfulness meditation, discuss the practical application of these concepts in our own lives as mental health professionals, and explore the application of mindfulness to counseling/psychotherapy.

Micki Fine has been in private psychotherapy practice since 1989. She has taught Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction since 1994. She earned the credential of Certified Mindfulness Teacher from the University of Massachusetts Medical School where Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn founded the Center for Mindfulness.
