A decade ago, if therapists were familiar with mindfulness at all, it was as a spiritual practice with little connection to their clinical work. Today the therapeutic benefits of mindfulness are widely accepted and have been repeatedly documented by researchers. This workshop will offer an overview of the most clinically useful features of the mindfulnessbased therapeutic models developed by Marsha Linehan, Stephen Hayes, Zindel Segal, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. You'll discover how to customize mindfulness interventions to fit individual clients and their distinctive clinical needs, with a special emphasis on the cultivation of self-compassion. Through experiential exercises, you'll learn how to bring more mindfulness and presence to the day-to-day, moment-to-moment conduct of your practice. We'll use role-play to explore the common pitfalls therapists encounter when trying to incorporate mindfulness practice into their work.
