MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION COURSEA nine weekly course for healthcare professionals, creative arts therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists as continuing professional development.This course is based on the renowned programme developed by Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center 27 years ago. The course was originally offered in the outpatient clinic to those facing the challenge of living with illness, pain, depression, and chronic stress and is now increasingly sought by those wishing to learn about the benefits of mindful living in a structured programme. The programme also offers elements of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for those recovering from depression (Teasdale, Williams, and Segal). Professionals will learn about mindfulness as a way of being more present with themselves and their clients; learn how to take care of their own well-being more effectively; learn about the potential benefits of mindfulness based approaches for their clients. The programme is practise based, participatory and educational. Participants are encouraged and supported to commit to developing a daily meditation practice at home. Guidance notes and CDs are provided. These courses are of great value to those who have had some experience of meditation and to those who have had no experience at all. Next course: 10th October to 5th December 2013 - 9 Thursdays 7.15 - 9.15 p.m. and one all day on a Sunday 1st December March For further information and to book please call Chantek on 01799 522516.

How can we have a psychological understanding of physical symptoms that avoids treating the body as a mere repository of what the mind cannot contain?

INTRODUCTION TO BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY RELATING, RHYTHM AND BOUNDARIESThe course will introduce some of the skills and theory of body psychotherapy<
Each person has their own rhythm and in any relationship with another there is a process of tuning into the other person and then making adjustments to accommodate the rhythm of that individual. Often our personal rhythms are disrupted from the way that we were brought up. And, in addition to that we can feel that life is too fast, and that we are not in charge of the pace of it. Equally life can seem too slow, uneventful or even on hold and stuck with nothing getting started or completed. Any relationship involves a movement towards the other and then more towards oneself - inner and outer relating. Movement towards the other can mean getting lost and not knowing where we begin and end. In daily life this can mean not knowing what we want, or living at a pace that isn't quite right for us and being swept along by the crowd. Movement away from the other can mean feeling lonely and isolated, rather than feeling at peace in solitude. INTRODUCTION TO BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY - STANDING IN THE WORLDTaking our place in the world involves finding a firm "inner ground" from which to move into relationship with others. This is a felt, physical experience that can be cultivated. Those that have it are self assured and confident, have no need to be pushy and do not get blown off course by others. The day will explore this theme experientially and theoretically. It will also provide an introduction to body psychotherapy. INTRODUCTION TO BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY - KNOWING WHAT YOU WANTThe course will introduce some of the skills and theory of body psychotherapy. Knowing what you want and making life decisions can be a complicated business. Your head says one thing, your heart another, friends advise different things. Your guts say this is the place to live, but it makes no sense. The day will explore different ways of making decisions, finding out what you really want, and head, heart and guts working together for more whole decision-making.
Suitable for health-care workers,
counsellors and those wanting to know about body psychotherapy with a view to further training. |
