Overview
Mindfulness approaches are often presented as a one-size-fits-all solution for everyone. Although proven beneficial in a broad range of contexts, mindfulness practices, like all tools available to clinicians, also come with inherent risks and ethical dilemmas.
Dr. Lynette Monteiro has crafted this workshop to provide you with the most effective strategies for integrating mindfulness into your practice. You will learn how to master key techniques employed in mindfulness-based interventions and effectively address any potential negative impacts of clinical interventions.
This workshop will provide you with a method for developing the skills necessary for cultivating moment-by-moment awareness, gaining insight into the obstacles that prevent skillfulness, and discovering ways to engage in skillful action.
You will also explore the full depth and scope of mindfulness through the Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management (MBSM) protocol, specifically designed to adapt to your clients' unique clinical presentations and needs. At its core, MBSM is built on the shared desire of both clinician and client to mitigate suffering. MBSM guides clients in developing a comprehensive skill set across the Four Platforms of Mindfulness: body, emotions, sensations, and thoughts. The protocol also assists clients in recognizing their intentions, understanding the emotions tied to whether outcomes align or don't align with expectations, and understanding the connection between their choices and values.
Finally, principles of effective supervision in mindfulness will be presented.
