Format Workshop
Presenters Donna Zander, Social Worker & Alex Foster, Psychologist
Description Overview
Mindfulness, originally a construct used in Eastern spiritual and philosophical traditions, has found new utility in psychotherapy practice. It has been recently applied to treatments of several psychological and health related problems including trauma, and research is showing successful outcomes in psychological interventions incorporating mindfulness practices. In trauma presentations mindfulness has been effective in helping with affect regulation; attention; distress tolerance and; awareness of self talk. This experiential workshop will enhance practitioner's knowledge of the foundations of mindfulness and cultivate practice skills.
