-Day Online Retreat: 2021 Mindfulness and Body/Mind Approaches for Clinical Practice: Facing the Challenges of a Post-COVID WorldMind Approaches for Clinical Practice

As we left 2020 behind, healing professionals the world over will be challenged to help clients cope in the coming post-COVID world. It’s our duty to prepare with latest science, therapeutic techniques, and to show up whole ourselves.

It’s what we trained for and what we’ve aspired to over many years.

Join clinician, author, mindfulness and meditation authority, Mary NurrieStearns, MSW, LCSW, C-IAYT, along with Rick NurriesStearns, an experienced retreat leader, in this on-line retreat for a unique training that combines lecture, research and experiential skill building, including how to guide body/mind movement in groups to build cohesion and to teach emotional regulation skills.

Learn evidence-based techniques that empower your clients as they navigate the increased challenges and intensities associated with the pandemic. Listen to clinical examples and practice “good for the brain” techniques that increase emotional regulation skills, decrease shame, cultivate self-acceptance and instill healthy thought patterns; skills that are needed even more during daunting times. Practice body/mind approaches, specific mindfulness skills and self-compassion techniques to strengthen your existing treatment modalities and your therapeutic presence.

Mary and Rick NurrieStearns have over 70 years of combined experience in mindfulness practices and body/mind healing. They are experts at showing clinicians like you how to empower clients to:

• Apply body/mind and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, shame, grief, chronic pain, and/or unworthiness.
• Use self-compassion to make dramatic therapeutic changes.
• Access beneficial memories to increase optimism and personal strength
• Incorporate mindfulness strategies to stay in the moment to soothe distressing emotions and relieve old trauma patterns.
• Apply body/mind interventions to calm the nervous system, as well as increase body and present moment awareness
• Cultivate an inner best friend to mitigate shame and decrease self-blame
• Strengthen relationships and increase authenticity.

Delve into basic neuroscience psychoeducation, evidence-based mind-body interventions, and mindfulness and self-compassion techniques that are invaluable for treating trauma, shame, depression, and anxiety.

You will take away accessible clinical skills for safely approaching trauma, body/mind interventions for anxiety, self-compassion practices for healing unworthiness and grief, brain psychoeducation to reduce shame, and mindfulness interventions for thoughts associated with trauma, depression, pain, and shame.
