Overview
Developing mindfulness is an intricate process of co-creating the space for clients to develop mindfulness skills that cultivate distress tolerance and the wise mind of skillful actions, thought, and insight. Clinician and client are interconnected through a desire for the mitigation of suffering. This requires special attention to the clients’ unique clinical presentations and their needs. In addition to mastering a variety of techniques and strategies, clinicians implementing mindfulness approaches also need to be aware of the benefits for the client and, more importantly, of the many risks inherent in the practices of mindfulness, many of which are often overlooked by practitioners. This training addresses the main techniques used in mindfulness-based interventions and the ways to be aware of the risks and to mitigate any negative impact of the clinical intervention. Further, in this workshop, Dr. Monteiro presents the protocol and process of Mindfulness-Based Symptom Management (MBSM) so that the clinician has an experiential sense of the depth and scope of mindfulness. For the client, MBSM is designed as a cultivation of skillful means progressing through the Four Platforms of Mindfulness: Body-Emotions-Sensations-Thoughts. This workshop will also help clinicians develop the skills to cultivate awareness of the moment-by-moment experience, insight into the obstacles that prevent skillfulness, and ways to engage in skillful action. Clinicians will also learn to help their clients explore their choices and learn to discern if these choices are congruent with their values. The client thus has the opportunity to experience and become aware of the emotions attached to the in/congruence of the outcome with their intentions. Finally, principles of effective supervision in mindfulness will be briefly presented.
