As mindfulness practice becomes an increasingly common adjunct to psychotherapy, therapists often regard it as a one-size-fits-all remedy. While there are, in fact, universal tendencies of mind that contribute to most psychopathologies (such as experiential avoidance) and core goals underlying all mindfulness practices (such as experiencing the present moment), there are many different forms of practice that can be specifically tailored to fit the dynamics of a wide variety of presenting problems. In this workshop, we'll explore how to find the right fit between different mindfulness practices--moment-to-moment sensory awareness, loving kindness meditation, urge surfing, self-compassion--and a range of common presenting symptoms, including anxiety, depression, addictions, interpersonal struggles, and stress related disorders. You'll leave armed with ways to enrich your experience of being a psychotherapist, along with a range of effective tools for improving your clients' lives. (This session will continue with Workshop 501.)
