Today's unprecedented meeting of modern brain science and ancient contemplative wisdom offers therapists powerful new tools for changing the neural wiring and neurochemistry of the brain--thus soothing the mind and making us less susceptible to a host of emotional and physical problems. In this workshop, we'll focus on how to use contemplative neuroscience in three down-to-earth ways: to help clients become more mindful, to weave positive experiences into the fabric of the brain and self, and to stimulate and strengthen the three neural circuits of empathy. You'll also learn how to adapt mindfulness training to the specific temperament of each client. Throughout there'll be practical examples and experiential activities you can use in your practice, and handouts to adapt as client materials. (This session will continue with Workshop 309.)
