Event Description Joan Klagsbrun, PhD and Ronald Siegel, PsyD, instructors
This workshop
presents the theory and practice of Focusing and Mindfulness, and demonstrates
the application of these methods in psychotherapy and in the self-care of
therapists. Focusing is an evidenced method that attends to inner experience
such that meanings can be discovered and carried forward. Mindfulness, an
empirically validated psychotherapy treatment, has proven to be a powerful
technique to augment virtually any form of counseling. The workshop is as relevant for persons who
are not yet familiar with either one of these therapeutic practices
as it is for persons already quite familiar with Focusing and
/or Mindfulness.
Upon
completion of the program the student will be able to:
Describe
the theory underpinning the practices of Focusing and Mindfulness. Discuss
skills necessary to practice and guide others through these processes. Demonstrate how Focusing and
Mindfulness can be integrated into psychotherapy. Practice
skills for therapist self-care.
