Mindfulness for Personal and Professional Practice presented by Jeff Brantley, MD
Mindfulness is becoming something of a mainstream concept, and is more and more foundational for a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches (e.g., CBT, ACT, DBT, MBSR, as well as psychodynamic therapy). Mindfulness practice is core to strengthening the mindfulness elements of any “mindfulness-based approach or intervention.” Rather than a “technique,” this workshop explains mindfulness as a more generic way of relating or being in one’s life that emphasizes greater moment-by-moment awareness. Research shows the benefits of being able to slow down, increase awareness, engage with “thoughts” as “thoughts,” and nonjudgmentally accept the reality before us. In this workshop, Jeff Brantley will explore the rationale for mindfulness and the importance of recent research findings, and elaborate on how its practice allows for improvement across a wide array of life domains. He will guide participants on ways to develop and deepen their mindfulness practice as well as utilize and teach mindfulness as part of their professional practice. This includes how to guide meditation and talk with clients about mindfulness.
Trainer: Jeffrey Brantley, MD, DFAPA, is a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of the Mindful-Based Stress Reduction program at Duke Integrative Medicine. He has been practicing meditation for more than 30 years, and began teaching mindfulness meditation to health professionals and others in 1990. He has participated in intensive meditation retreats, practicing with a variety of teachers, including Joan Halifax, Thich Nhat Hanh, Larry Rosenberg, Christina Feldman, and members of the Amaravati Buddhist monastic community. He has also completed the professional training for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction offered by Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli. He is author of best-selling books on applying mindfulness to life, including the “Five Good Minutes” series, and Daily Meditations for Calming Your Anxious Mind.
